Squarespace to WordPress migration

We rebuild your Squarespace website in WordPress, move the agreed content, and check the pages and tools your business relies on. The scope starts with your current site: what to keep, what needs rebuilding, and what should change.

What we move. What we rebuild.

A Squarespace export is one input to the migration. We inspect the whole website and agree on the WordPress structure before building.

Content and media

We inventory your pages, blog posts, images, and downloads, then map the agreed content into WordPress. We check formatting, internal links, and media on the destination site.

Design and editing

We build WordPress templates for the layouts you need. You can retain the current visual direction or agree on a redesign, with editable fields for the content your team changes.

Forms and connected tools

Contact forms, analytics, booking tools, and CRM connections get their own checklist. Each agreed connection is configured and tested in WordPress.

URLs and search settings

We map existing URLs, retain paths where practical, and add redirects for changed addresses. Page titles, descriptions, canonical URLs, and sitemap entries are checked before release.

Define the scope before the move.

Your current website

Share the website URL and identify the pages, forms, and tools that matter to the business. We confirm the access needed during the initial review.

Features with a separate migration path

Stores, memberships, subscriptions, bookings, and customer data need an explicit transfer plan. They are included only when the agreed scope names them.

Hosting, domain, and ongoing care

We agree on WordPress hosting, the domain cutover, and who owns updates and backups after launch. Keep the existing site available until the transfer and checks are complete.

A checked path to WordPress.

  1. Review the source

    Inventory the site, confirm the content and features in scope, and document URLs and dependencies.

  2. Build and transfer

    Prepare WordPress, rebuild the templates, and transfer representative content before completing the agreed inventory.

  3. Review together

    Check desktop and mobile layouts, editing, links, forms, and redirects on a review environment. Resolve issues before cutover.

  4. Launch and hand over

    Carry out the agreed domain switch, test the production site, and hand over editing guidance and the maintenance responsibilities.

Squarespace migration questions.

Will the WordPress website look the same?
It can follow your current design. Squarespace themes and styling do not transfer as a WordPress theme, so we rebuild the agreed layouts and check them at desktop and mobile sizes. A redesign is a separate scope decision.
Can you move every feature automatically?
No. Exportable content is only part of a site. We review custom layouts, commerce, memberships, bookings, forms, and connected tools separately, then document what will transfer and what needs rebuilding.
Can we keep our domain?
Yes, provided you control the domain and its settings. We plan the website connection separately from domain registration and email, and verify the relevant DNS records during cutover.
Will our search rankings stay the same?
Search rankings cannot be guaranteed. We check existing URLs, redirects, metadata, crawl access, and sitemap entries, then verify the live site after launch.
Do we need to stop using the existing site during the build?
The WordPress build can be prepared separately. Before launch, we agree on how content changes, enquiries, and any transactional data will be handled during the switch.
What do you need to scope the migration?
Start with the website URL, the reason for the move, and any features or content that must stay. We review the requirements before proposing the project scope.
Bring your website URL and the changes you need. We will review what the WordPress build needs to include.
