Webflow to Astro for FinTech

A financial marketing site carries required wording, rates that change, and a small number of handoffs into systems that hold money or identity. Those three things are what a migration has to get right.

The rebuild stops before money and identity.

Where the marketing site stops

Marketing

Changes inside the agreed review

  • Product and pricing
  • Fees and disclosures
  • Security and compliance
  • Calculators and resources

The handoff

Needs to be right

  • Onboarding route
  • Live pricing
  • CRM record
  • Analytics context

Product

Money and identity

  • Accounts and balances
  • KYC and verification
  • Transactions
  • Card data
Money and identity stay in the systems built for them, and the migration does not move them. What it does touch is the handoff in the middle, which is the part to get right before anybody presses publish.

Trust is part of the interface.

People are being asked to trust you with money, identity or both. Pricing, security, disclosures and proof are part of the product decision, and a rebuild is where their placement gets settled rather than inherited.

  • Pricing and fees

    What it costs, without making somebody hunt for it.

  • Security and compliance

    What protections exist, and where the details live.

  • Legal and disclosures

    Required information, placed where the decision happens.

  • Customer proof

    Named and checkable, which is the only kind that works here.

Rates and disclosures move as data.

Rates, eligibility language and disclosures get copied everywhere a product is mentioned, which is exactly what makes them drift. Modeled once in the new content model, a change moves through every page that depends on them, and the migration is where the copies get reconciled.

What gets decided before a FinTech migration.

  1. 01

    What marketing can change without review

    Agreed once as a list, so a campaign page ships on Tuesday and a rate change takes the path it needs. Disclosures are built into the component that makes the claim, so one edit changes every page carrying it.

  2. 02

    Where sensitive fields are rendered

    Card and identity fields are served by the provider built to receive them, in their iframe or on their page. If the current site does anything else, that is worth finding during the migration rather than after it.

  3. 03

    Where each application actually lands

    The handoff into checkout, identity or onboarding is rebuilt against the new site and tested to the record that arrives rather than to the button.

  4. 04

    What each page needs to load

    A rebuild is the moment third-party scripts get reviewed rather than carried across. A financial page that jumps while loading does not feel trustworthy, and most of the weight is usually not yours.

PCI scope depends on the specific implementation. Your payment processor confirms it. The site architecture does not decide it, and no diagram on this page settles it.

Questions about FinTech.

Does moving to Astro change our security or compliance position?

Not on its own, and I would be careful with anyone who says it does. A rebuild removes one vendor's runtime from the page and puts the code somewhere your team can read it, which makes review possible rather than automatic. What is on the page, what it loads and where each form goes all become visible, which is the useful part. The compliance judgment stays with your own people.

What happens to payments and sensitive fields in the move?

They keep being the provider's job. Card and identity fields are served by the processor, in their iframe or on their page, so the site never receives the value, and the migration rebuilds the handoff around that rather than changing it. What any of this does to your PCI scope is confirmed with your processor, not decided by a diagram.

Can our Stripe, Plaid and KYC connections come across?

The handoffs can, and they are tested at the destination rather than at the confirmation screen. Plaid and identity verification almost always sit behind your login already, so the work is the route into that flow rather than the flow itself. If the current site does something with those that it should not, I will tell you rather than reproduce it.

Can our marketing and legal teams still edit the site?

For the content that is modeled as content, yes. Copy, rate tables and disclosures live in a CMS your team edits, and disclosures stay attached to the component that makes the claim so nobody has to remember which pages carry which wording. Structural changes become changes in the codebase with a review on them, which for this category is usually the point rather than the cost.
