Hosted site builder
Migrating off Squarespace
Squarespace produces beautiful sites that are hard to take elsewhere. The export option only gives you a partial WordPress XML, the templates are platform-specific, and the dynamic features (booking, scheduling, member areas) are deeply tied to the platform.

What Squarespace is
Squarespace is a hosted site builder with strong design defaults and a recurring price ($16–49/month). It's good at the design side; it's a closed ecosystem on the technical side.
We treat Squarespace migrations the same as Wix migrations: rebuild rather than transfer. The visual result matches, the URLs become portable, and the recurring fee goes away.
If you're on Squarespace specifically because of the visual editor, you should know: after migrating to static, you no longer have that editor. Content updates are email-based instead. Some people are happy about this; some aren't. Honest about that up front.
What to know before migrating
- Squarespace blogs have a usable export (WordPress XML), but pages and structured data don't export cleanly.
- Member areas, scheduled posts, and Squarespace Commerce are platform-locked.
- Squarespace fonts and templates are licensed to Squarespace — we use equivalent web fonts and visual rebuilds rather than copying the assets.
Stays the same
- Visual design (rebuilt in clean HTML/CSS)
- Page content and blog posts
- Domain ownership
What changes
- URL structure (becomes clean and portable)
- Editing flow (email instead of in-browser editor)
- Cost ($16–49/month → €0/month after the one-time fee)
Our take
Squarespace is the right tool for a brand-new business that needs a site this week and isn't sure what they want yet. After three years, when the design is settled and you're paying $50/month for hosting alone, the math changes. That's when we come in.
Questions
Can you migrate my Squarespace blog?
Yes. The blog export is the cleanest part of Squarespace's data, and we preserve every post, category, and URL.
