An editable project worksheet, not a guarantee of compatibility or rankings.

## Project brief

- Client / site:
- Source platform and account owner:
- Destination and account owner:
- Reason for moving:
- Critical visitor action:
- Content owner:
- Technical / DNS owner:
- Billing owner (separate approval):
- Planned cutover and content freeze:
- Rollback owner and trigger:
- Archive location (keep private):

## Scope

Archive code and content separately, map collection fields before rebuilding, and validate one example of every content type. A static export does not carry Webflow's hosted CMS and form processing with it.

Good fit: Marketing sites whose content types and editing requirements can be represented and maintained in the destination builder.

Pause if: A site that needs complex collection relationships, localization workflows, or custom interactions that have not been demonstrated in the destination.
