Webnode
Webnode is a hosted website builder from Brno, Czech Republic, popular in Central Europe and offered in many languages. It has no export to WordPress or any other CMS, so moving off it means copying content out and rebuilding.
How it models content
- Pages are built from sections and content blocks in a visual editor
- Blog posts sit in a built-in blog section
- Store holds products and orders on e-commerce plans
- Forms collect enquiries and sign-ups
- Design comes from templates and style settings, not editable theme files
What you can take with you
| Content | Export available? |
|---|---|
| Pages and blog posts | No content export. Copy from the live site |
| Products | Yes, through the store’s product export |
| Images and files | Download from the live site or your originals |
| Site backup | Premium plans include backups, but these restore inside Webnode, not into another CMS |

What moving involves
- List every page and post URL on the live site.
- Export products if you run a store, then copy text and save images from every page.
- Set up WordPress, choose a theme, and recreate pages and posts.
- Import products into the new store plugin and check prices and variants.
- Add 301 redirects from the old URLs. See 301 redirects in WordPress.
- Point the domain at the new host once everything is tested.
