- [When an Astro and Webflow hybrid build earns its complexity](https://thedesque.com/blog/astro-in-webflow-integration-guide/): Webflow officially supports Astro, hosting Astro 6 and 7 on Webflow Cloud with a maintained adapter. This guide covers what the hybrid architecture includes, what it costs to run, and when Webflow on its own is the better build.
- [Three ways to build a Shopify Webflow integration](https://thedesque.com/blog/shopify-in-webflow-integration-guide/): A Shopify Webflow integration takes one of three shapes.

- [When to move a store from Webflow Ecommerce to Shopify](https://thedesque.com/blog/migrating-from-webflow-ecommerce-to-shopify/): Webflow Ecommerce counts one product as several items, so a growing store hits its limit sooner than expected. This guide shows a Houston store owner the signs that a store has outgrown Webflow and when moving it to Shopify makes sense.
- [The order history problem in every WooCommerce to Shopify migration](https://thedesque.com/blog/migrating-from-woocommerce-to-shopify/): Moving from WooCommerce to Shopify copies your products over by spreadsheet, but your past orders do not come along and every product URL changes. This guide shows a Houston store owner how to plan for both before switching over.
- [A WordPress to Webflow migration starts with the plugin audit](https://thedesque.com/blog/migrating-from-wordpress-to-webflow/): Plugins never export, so a WordPress to Webflow migration starts by checking each one against Webflow's native features. The three-pile audit shows a Houston small business what the move has to include before it is priced.
- [What a Wix to Webflow migration actually transfers](https://thedesque.com/blog/migrating-from-wix-to-webflow/): A Wix to Webflow migration starts with knowing what exports as a CSV and what Wix states cannot leave the platform. For a Houston small business, the blog is the piece to scope first.
- [Migrating from Squarespace to Webflow without losing your rankings](https://thedesque.com/blog/migrating-from-squarespace-to-webflow/): Moving from Squarespace to Webflow means rebuilding the site, because only some of it exports.

- [WooCommerce vs. Webflow Ecommerce for a Houston small business](https://thedesque.com/blog/woocommerce-vs-webflow-ecommerce-for-small-business/): WooCommerce lets a developer change anything about your store, but someone has to keep it updated. Webflow Ecommerce handles the updates for you. This guide helps a Houston small business decide which trade-off fits how it is staffed.
- [Webflow Ecommerce vs. Shopify for a small Houston store](https://thedesque.com/blog/webflow-ecommerce-vs-shopify-for-small-business/): If your marketing site already runs on Webflow, a small product line can be sold from it without adding Shopify. This guide shows a Houston small business when that works, what it costs, and when a store is big enough to need Shopify.
