Squarespace is a great place to start, but some businesses outgrow it. We migrate Squarespace to WordPress for you, map every old URL to its new page, and keep the search visibility you have already earned.

Squarespace suits most small businesses, and we build on it every week. It makes sense to switch Squarespace to WordPress when the platform starts holding the business back, not because WordPress is fashionable. Here is when we recommend you migrate from Squarespace to WordPress:
If none of these apply, staying on Squarespace is usually the better choice, and we will tell you so. See our Squarespace SEO services if ranking is the real problem.
Every page, heading and paragraph is carried across, then rebuilt in WordPress with clean structure and native editing.
Posts keep their dates, authors and categories. Images are compressed and given proper file names and alt text.
Contact forms, booking links and tracking are rebuilt and tested, so no inquiry is lost on launch day.
Titles, descriptions and headings move with each page, and structured data is rebuilt so Google reads the new website correctly.
Most migrations lose traffic for one reason: old URLs stop working. We plan the move so that does not happen.
URL inventory. We crawl the Squarespace website and list every page, post, image and indexed URL.
Redirect map. Every old URL gets a matching new URL, with a 301 redirect for anything that changes.
On-page carryover. Titles, descriptions, headings and internal links are checked page by page.
Launch checks. We test redirects, forms and tracking before and after the domain switch.
Search Console monitoring. We submit the new sitemap and watch coverage and rankings after launch, fixing anything that slips.
No long contracts and no jargon. Here is what happens from your first message to a live WordPress website.
Strategy call (day 1 to 2). We learn about your website, your goals and why you want to move. You get a flat quote and a realistic timeline, with no obligation.
Inventory and redirect map. We document every URL and plan where each one goes.
Build on staging. We build the WordPress website on a private staging link, and you review it as it comes together.
Launch. We point your domain to the new website, switch on the redirects and test everything.
Monitoring and support. We watch Search Console after launch and stay reachable while the new website settles in.
Some businesses need the opposite move. If your WordPress website has become hard to maintain, a WordPress to Squarespace migration gives you hosting, security and updates in one place. We handle that migration with the same URL mapping and redirect process. See Hire a Squarespace developer for how it works.
An honest comparison for a business deciding whether to move.

Yes. Squarespace has no one-click export for a complete website, so the transfer is done in stages: content and blog posts are exported, pages are rebuilt in WordPress, images are moved and optimized, and every old URL is redirected to its new page.
Not if the migration is planned properly. We map every old URL to its new page, add 301 redirects, carry titles and content across, and monitor Search Console after launch. Short-term movement can happen while Google recrawls the website, and we fix anything that slips.
Most small business migrations take three to five weeks. Larger websites with many blog posts or integrations take longer. We agree the timeline before any work starts.
It depends on the number of pages and posts, the integrations you need and how much design work is involved. You get a flat quote after a strategy call, not an hourly bill.
Yes. We can rebuild your current design in WordPress, refresh it, or create a new one. Most clients use the move to fix the parts of the design that were not converting.
Yes. Unlike Squarespace, WordPress needs a hosting account. We help you choose one and set it up in your name.
Keep it until the new website is live and the redirects are tested. After that you can cancel it. Your domain stays yours throughout.
Yes. We build with a visual page builder, so you can update text, images and pages without touching code.
