Squarespace to WordPress. Done properly.
Squarespace’s XML export only gets you partway. A real migration rebuilds your templates, maps every URL, and lands your blog posts and pages intact.
Our approach
Rebuilt on staging, while Squarespace stays live.
We treat every migration as a full rebuild: done on staging, while your current site keeps running. You review it before launch, the price is fixed in writing from the start, and every URL redirects to protect your rankings.
What Squarespace's export misses
Squarespace exports your content. It doesn't move your site.
Squarespace provides an XML export that you can import into WordPress. What that export contains: basic blog post content. What it doesn’t include:
- Page designs and layouts
- Media and images
- Portfolio galleries
- Product listings and store data
- Form submissions and contact info
- SEO metadata and custom URL slugs
What we do
Everything included in a Squarespace migration.
Squarespace’s export moves blog text. We rebuild everything else in WordPress.
- Full design rebuild in WordPress & Elementor
- All media files downloaded and imported
- Portfolio galleries recreated
- Blog posts and pages with correct metadata
- 301 redirect mapping for every URL
- Forms rebuilt and tested
- Google Analytics and Search Console transferred
Why businesses migrate
Where Squarespace stops being enough.
SEO and content limitations
Squarespace covers basic SEO. Custom schema markup, advanced redirect control, and deeper technical SEO are limited, or need code injection workarounds.
Template and design constraints
Squarespace templates are beautiful but rigid. Design needs outside their block system mean working around the platform, not with it. Elementor gives full control.
Plugin and integration ecosystem
WordPress has 60,000+ plugins to Squarespace’s limited marketplace. Need a specific integration or tool? WordPress almost certainly has it.
E-commerce needs
Squarespace Commerce suits simple stores. WooCommerce gives more control over checkout, pricing rules, subscriptions, B2B, and fulfillment integrations.
Our process
Four steps, Squarespace to WordPress.
01
Site audit and content mapping
We crawl the site, map every URL, and log a full content inventory before any build starts.
02
WordPress staging build
Elementor rebuild on WordPress, your design matched, all content imported to a staging URL you review.
03
Review, QA, and redirect mapping
You approve the build. Every link, form, and page gets tested, and the full 301 map verified on staging.
04
Launch and post-migration monitoring
DNS cutover, redirects live, new sitemap submitted, then 4 weeks watching your rankings and traffic.

Common questions
Squarespace to WordPress migration FAQs.
Squarespace’s export is partial and doesn’t produce a working WordPress site, so a real migration is a rebuild: content moved over, design recreated, and URLs redirected to protect your rankings.
Yes, when it’s done right. We map every existing URL to its new destination with 301 redirects, carry over titles and metadata, and watch Search Console after launch. Done properly, rankings transfer with no lasting dip.
Ownership and ceiling. Squarespace is a closed platform with plan limits and no plugin ecosystem. WordPress gives you full control, any functionality, real hosting choices, and a site you own outright, which matters once the website is a growth channel.
It depends on page count, whether the site has a store or bookings, how many blog posts and URLs need redirects, and whether you keep the current look or want a redesign. A typical business site of 5 to 20 pages takes 2 to 4 weeks, while sites with stores or custom features are scoped individually. We quote every site after a free review, and the price is fixed in writing before any work starts.
Yes. Products, images, categories, and checkout pages rebuild in WooCommerce, giving you full ownership and no transaction fees beyond your payment processor. Customer accounts and order history are handled case by case during scoping.
Yes. WordPress with a clean block editor is as approachable as Squarespace once set up, and we tailor it to your content. We include a short training session so your team can publish and update pages independently.
Every post moves with its content, images, and date, and each old URL redirects to its new WordPress address. That preserves your rankings and keeps any links pointing at your posts working.
Your choice. We can rebuild your current design faithfully or use the move to modernize it. Since every page is rebuilt anyway, a design refresh adds little to the timeline and is included in standard scope.
Yes. We rebuild every form in WordPress and test delivery before launch. If you use Squarespace scheduling, we replace it with a WordPress booking tool that fits your workflow and connects to your calendar.
Usually, yes. You pay for hosting and any premium plugins instead of a recurring platform subscription that rises with features. You also own the site outright, so you are never forced onto a higher tier to unlock what you need.
