Lovable
Overview
Lovable generates complete React applications from a conversation. It scaffolds routing, component structure, styling and, when asked, a backend with authentication and a database. The result is a real repository rather than a rendered preview, which puts it closer to a development environment than to a page builder.
Strengths
- Produces idiomatic React with Tailwind styling that a developer can read and continue
- Full-stack scaffolding, including auth and data, without leaving the chat
- Git-backed history, so every generated change is reviewable
- Strong default responsiveness and component reuse
Export options
Projects can be pushed to a Git repository and cloned locally, giving you the complete source tree: components, styles, assets and configuration. Nothing meaningful is withheld from the export.
Migration considerations
Because the output is a component tree rather than pages, the migration work is interpretive: identify which components represent repeatable content, convert them into templates and custom fields, and re-create client-side routes as permalinks. Design tokens usually transfer cleanly into theme styles.

Framer
Overview
Framer began as a prototyping tool and matured into a hosted publishing platform with a visual canvas, a lightweight CMS and best-in-class motion design. It is used heavily for marketing sites where animation quality matters more than editorial depth.
Strengths
- Exceptional animation and scroll interaction fidelity
- Fast visual editing with real responsive breakpoint control
- Built-in CMS collections for simple structured content
- Good baseline performance on hosted infrastructure
Export options
Framer publishes to its own hosting. Static export produces HTML and CSS reflecting the rendered result; CMS collections can be extracted as structured data, but the interaction layer and editing environment do not come with you.
Migration considerations
The main tasks are re-expressing absolutely positioned canvas layouts as flexible CSS, rebuilding animations with a comparable library, and mapping CMS collections onto post types. Typography and spacing scales usually translate faithfully.

Webflow
Overview
Webflow is the most mature visual development platform: a designer-facing interface over a genuine box model, combined with a CMS, forms, and hosting. Teams use it to ship production marketing sites without writing markup.
Strengths
- Precise control over real CSS rather than an abstraction of it
- Robust CMS collections with reference fields and dynamic listings
- Reliable hosting, forms and staging workflow
- Clean, class-based markup that reads sensibly on export
Export options
Paid plans allow a full static export of HTML, CSS, JavaScript and assets, and CMS collections export as CSV. Dynamic features that depend on Webflow hosting — forms, search, collection filtering — stop working outside the platform.
Migration considerations
Webflow migrations are among the most predictable: the exported class system maps well onto theme stylesheets, and CSV collections map onto post types and taxonomies. Budget the effort for forms, interactions and any collection filtering.

Cursor AI
Overview
Cursor is an AI-native code editor rather than a site builder. It reads an entire repository, proposes multi-file edits and applies them under review. Websites made with it are ordinary projects that happened to be written faster.
Strengths
- Whole-repository context, so refactors stay consistent
- No platform lock-in whatsoever: the output is your codebase
- Works with any framework, build tool or hosting target
- Excellent for the reverse direction too — writing the theme you migrate into
Export options
There is nothing to export. Files live on disk and in version control from the first keystroke.
Migration considerations
Difficulty depends entirely on the framework chosen, not on Cursor. The one recurring caution is architectural drift: rapidly generated code can accumulate inconsistent patterns that make template extraction slower than expected.

Claude
Overview
Claude is used for web work in two modes: as a conversational engineer that writes components and pages on request, and as an artifact environment that renders a self-contained page you can iterate on directly in the conversation.
Strengths
- Strong reasoning about accessibility, semantics and content structure
- Produces readable, well-commented code with sensible defaults
- Good at converting existing markup between paradigms
- Useful as a reviewer of code generated by other tools
Export options
Output is copied out as source files or downloaded from artifacts. There is no project container, so asset organisation and build configuration are your responsibility.
Migration considerations
Claude-built pages are usually single-file or small multi-file projects, which makes conversion straightforward. Watch for inline styles and repeated markup that should become a single template partial.

Google AI Studio
Overview
Google AI Studio is a prototyping surface for Gemini models that also generates functional web applications and interface code. It is often the fastest way to test whether an idea deserves a real project.
Strengths
- Very fast idea-to-prototype loop
- Direct access to model capabilities for content and data features
- Generates standard web technologies rather than a proprietary format
- Simple sharing for stakeholder review
Export options
Generated code can be copied or downloaded, and API-driven behaviour needs to be re-implemented with your own keys and a server-side layer when the site becomes public.
Migration considerations
Treat the prototype as a specification. Rebuild the interface as templates, then decide deliberately which model-powered features belong in production and where their keys will live.

Bolt.new
Overview
Bolt.new runs a full development environment in the browser, generating and executing a project — commonly React or Vite based — with instant preview and deployment. It sits between a chat builder and an IDE.
Strengths
- Immediate running application, not a static mock
- Handles dependencies, build tooling and deployment automatically
- Fast iteration on interactive behaviour
- Downloadable project archive at any point
Export options
The whole project can be downloaded as a standard archive or pushed to Git, including package configuration, so it can be rebuilt anywhere.
Migration considerations
Build the project locally first and confirm it compiles; browser-generated dependency trees occasionally need pinning. Then convert routes to permalinks and components to templates as with any React application.

Replit
Overview
Replit is a cloud development platform with an AI agent that can scaffold, run and host complete applications, including databases and background services. It is a genuine hosting environment as much as a builder.
Strengths
- Full runtime with server-side code, storage and secrets
- Collaborative editing and instant deployment
- Language-agnostic, so backend choices are unconstrained
- Good for applications, not just marketing pages
Export options
Repositories can be downloaded or synchronised with Git. Platform-specific services — key-value storage, hosted database, environment configuration — need equivalents on the destination stack.
Migration considerations
Separate the presentational site from the application. The site converts normally; the application layer usually becomes either a custom plugin, a REST endpoint or an external service the site calls.

V0.dev
Overview
V0 generates high-quality React interface components from prompts, aligned with a modern component library and utility-first styling. It is a component factory rather than a whole-site tool.
Strengths
- Very high visual quality per component
- Accessible primitives and consistent design tokens by default
- Composable output that drops into an existing codebase
- Rapid exploration of interface variants
Export options
Components are copied as source into your project. There is no site container, hosting layer or content model to extract.
Migration considerations
The conversion question is styling, not structure: decide whether to compile the utility classes into the theme stylesheet or to reproduce the design tokens by hand. Interactive components generally need a small script layer in the theme.

Base44
Overview
Base44 is a no-code application platform that generates data-driven internal tools and business applications, complete with entities, permissions and workflow, from a description.
Strengths
- Data modelling and role handling without code
- Fast delivery of internal tools and portals
- Integrated hosting and user management
- Suited to process applications rather than brochure sites
Export options
The visual application definition is platform-specific. Data can be exported in structured form; the interface and logic are described in the platform's own model rather than as portable source.
Migration considerations
Expect a rebuild rather than a conversion for the application logic. Data maps well onto custom post types or custom tables, and public-facing pages can be reproduced faithfully, but workflows must be re-implemented.
