40+ Squarespace to WordPress migrations
Moving from Squarespace to WordPress. Done properly.
Squarespace has an XML export, but it only gets you partway there. A real Squarespace to WordPress migration means rebuilding your templates correctly, mapping all your URLs, and making sure your blog posts and pages arrive intact.
Our approach
We migrate the whole site, not just what the export gives us.
Squarespace’s export is partial, so we rebuild your pages, galleries, and blog in WordPress while your current site stays live. Every URL is mapped to a 301 redirect and metadata carries over, so rankings transfer. You get a fixed price in writing after a free review.
Squarespace exports your content. It doesn't move your site.
A proper migration includes everything.
What Squarespace’s export misses
Squarespace provides an XML export that you can import into WordPress. What that export contains: basic blog post content. What it doesn’t include:

Common reasons clients move
Why businesses outgrow Squarespace.
SEO and content limitations
Squarespace handles basic SEO well, but custom schema markup, advanced redirect control, and some technical SEO requirements are either limited or impossible without code injection workarounds.
Template and design constraints
Squarespace’s templates are beautiful but structured. If your design needs don’t fit within their block system, you’re working around the platform rather than with it. Elementor gives you full control.
Plugin and integration ecosystem
WordPress has 60,000+ plugins. Squarespace has a limited extension marketplace. If you need a specific integration, tool, or functionality, WordPress almost certainly has it.
E-commerce needs
Squarespace Commerce is solid for simple stores, but WooCommerce gives you more control over checkout flow, pricing rules, subscriptions, B2B functionality, and integrations with fulfillment systems.
Our process
How we move your Squarespace site to WordPress.
01
Site audit and content mapping
We crawl your Squarespace site, document every page and URL, and create a full content inventory before we start building.
02
WordPress staging build
We rebuild your site in WordPress with Elementor, matching your current design and importing all content to a staging URL for your review.
03
Review, QA, and redirect mapping
You review and approve. We test every link, form, and page. We build and verify the full 301 redirect map on staging.

Common questions
Squarespace to WordPress questions.
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.
A typical business site of 5 to 20 pages runs from around $2,000 and 2 to 4 weeks. Sites with stores or custom features are quoted after a free review. 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.
We have a solution for all your challenges.
