FROM WEBFLOW TO AFTERCODE IN DEVELOPMENT

Keep your eye.
Own your source.

You learned to see the page as a system: spacing, classes, components, content. Bring that experience into an Astro project that you and your coding agent can shape together.

Content becomes editing controls.
Your files. Your agent. Your finishing touch.

YOU DON'T START FROM ZERO

The skill stays.
The workflow opens up.

The way you notice a cramped heading or an awkward gap still matters. Aftercode gives those decisions a place in a workflow where most of the site is built with an agent.

01 / BUILD IN YOUR PROJECT

Let the agent do the first pass.

Work with regular Astro components, content, and CSS. Keep the brief, the review, and the implementation in tools you choose.

02 / USE YOUR EYE

Stay close to the page.

Make visual adjustments in Aftercode. Let a small spacing decision be a small spacing decision.

03 / LET THE FIELDS FOLLOW

Give content a useful interface.

AI uses the project context to infer editing fields, so a client can work with a form that fits the content.

THE OWNERSHIP QUESTION

A code export is a start.
An editable project goes further.

Webflow supports code export on paid Workspace plans. Its CMS functionality does not travel with that export. Aftercode is being designed around an Astro repository that includes published content and media and can keep building after you leave.

An Astro rebuild still needs a content model and replacements for the services you use. Webflow's export documentation ↗

THEIR CONTENT. THEIR NEXT UPDATE.

Go to Aftercode.
Change it yourself.

Your client has a new story, a new project, or a photo to replace. Give them a CMS that understands the content they work with.

They can create entries, edit the details, choose related categories, and remove what they no longer need. Then check the page and publish their update.

  • Content, media, and connected collections
  • A preview of the page before publishing
  • A browser workspace that works while your laptop is closed

BEFORE YOU ASK

Good questions.

Here's where we're headed.

Will Aftercode import my Webflow site?

There is no automatic Webflow-to-Astro converter in this first version. Treat the move as a rebuild: bring the design and content, then check URLs, redirects, metadata, forms, and interactions before switching the live site.

Can I keep building entirely without code?

The Aftercode workflow includes a real Astro project and a coding agent. Someone needs to understand the code, review changes, run builds, and handle integrations. Your visual experience is valuable here, but the development responsibilities are different.

What about forms, commerce, and localization?

Plan those requirements separately. Aftercode starts with static Astro sites and content editing. It does not currently replace a complete commerce system, form service, or localization platform.

Can my client keep editing in a browser?

That is a core part of the planned SaaS: a client login, content and media controls, approved sections, preview, and publishing. The hosted workflow is in development and is designed to work without the developer’s computer.
