Webflow plugin to clone CMS collections across projects.

Built for Webflow designers managing multiple sites.

“Hi there, I’ve built a blog with functioning CMS collections in a separate project to my main site. I’d like to somehow copy the design and CMS to the main site…”

The receipts — real demand

“Hi there, I’ve built a blog with functioning CMS collections in a separate project to my main site. I’d like to somehow copy the design and CMS to the main site as I’m really happy with the blog (I’m a webflow noob). How do I go about this? Seen a few tutorials on YT but unsure if there’s a quicker/better way.”

Why this is a gap

Surfaced from a high-intensity complaint with clear willingness to pay and a specific, reachable audience.

The market

Webflow designers managing multiple client or brand sites need to clone CMS collections (structure + design) across projects to save rebuild time. No search volume data; pain signal shows this is a real workflow friction for agencies and multi-site designers.

Competition & the opening

Wedge play crowded — win on a narrow angle Moat 4/10 · thin angle Market 5/10 · a real vertical
Crowded market · 6/10 vs Webflow's native CMS Export/Import (CSV-based workaround)Udesly (Webflow-to-other-platform bridge with CMS handling)Wized (Webflow data layer tool with CMS manipulation)Flowjin / community Webflow scripts (manual cloning via API)Webflow's own Workspaces/Team Libraries (partial native overlap)Make (Integromat) + Webflow API automations (DIY CMS copy flows)

Less crowded (4/10) than other Webflow ideas, but partial solutions exist: Webflow's native export/import is CSV-only (loses design), Udesly and Wized offer CMS data layer tools, and Make/Zapier enable DIY API automation. The gap: no one-click, design-aware cloning that preserves both collection schema and connected styles.

What's hard to build

Webflow's API lacks a native 'clone collection with design' endpoint. The builder must reverse-engineer collection structure (fields, types, validations), extract all CSS classes and bindings tied to that collection's display, and replay both into the target project—requiring either unofficial API depth or Webflow partnership.

Why now

Webflow's native CMS export is CSV-only and painful; teams building multi-site ecosystems need fast, repeatable collection cloning.
