Unlock the freedom, flexibility, and long-term cost savings of WordPress with a professionally engineered migration from Squarespace.
No contest for scalability and flexibility.
Squarespace is easy to begin with: simple templates, built-in hosting, drag-and-drop editing, and out-of-the-box website setup. It’s appealing for small, static sites and entry-level users. But as your business grows, Squarespace quickly reveals its limitations.
On the long term WordPress wins, hands down. If you want your website to grow, evolve, automate, integrate, and support advanced features, WordPress is the clear choice. WordPress is the natural upgrade path for any business ready to grow.
WordPress powers ~43% of the web.
Squarespace powers ~2.9% of the web.
WooCommerce powers ~30% of all e-commerce stores, more than Shopify.
Squarespace ecommerce lacks multi-currency support, POS (outside US), and advanced product structures.
WordPress benefits of a huge number of plugins, integrations, themes, and developers.
SquareSpace comes with a rather small developer pool; costly and limited customisations.
Squarespace is good for: portfolio sites, blogs, basic small-business presentation websites and online sops, users who want quick setup with minimal customisation.
WordPress is the clear choice for: business owners and entrepreneurs that need scalable and customisable solutions providing long-term cost control, ecommerce growth, design flexibility, automation, third-party integrations, custom workflows, overall advanced features.
We extract your pages, blog posts, galleries, media, forms, product listings, redirects, and metadata from Squarespace. All content is verified before migration to ensure zero data loss.
Your Squarespace content is transformed into WordPress equivalents using custom scripts: custop post types, taxonomies, custom field structures, menus, block structures, reusable layouts.
We migrate metadata, URLs, canonical tags, image alt text, heading structure and implement 301 redirect strategy, expand SEO optimisation and performance metrics (Core Web Vitals).
We rebuild and enhance design and theme, page layouts and reusable components, newsletter integrations, analytics, CRM tools, Ecommerce (WooCommerce) if applicable, social media feeds.
We run AI-assisted & manual QA to validate content accuracy, mobile responsiveness, speed improvements, accessibility compliance (WCAG standards), broken link checks.
Your new site goes live smoothly via a coordinated cut-over with no interruptions. We provide editor training, admin guidance, reusable template creation, workflow best-practices.
