WordPress to Squarespace Migration
Move your existing website from WordPress to Squarespace with ease and peace of mind. If you're happy with your website but tired of managing WordPress, we can recreate your existing website in Squarespace and handle the technical details of the move. We provide tutorials for you to manage the site after the migration.
Who this is for
This service is for businesses that want a simpler, easier-to-manage website without going through a full redesign.
You may be ready to move from WordPress if:
Your website has become slow or clunky due to accumulation of plugins.
You’re tired of keeping WordPress and plugins updated.
Your website has been hacked before, and you’re concerned about its security.
Small updates take too long to make, making it hard to keep your business information on the website up-to-date.
You want to manage your website yourself instead of relying on a web developer.
This service is not for:
A complete website redesign
Developing a new website strategy or content structure
Major changes to your website's functionality or user experience
If your website needs significant changes as well as a platform migration, view our Custom Website Strategy & Design service instead. We can approach the project as a new website rather than simply recreating your existing one.
Moving a website to a new platform requires technical knowledge and a lot of time. We’re here to take that work off your plate, so the hassle of migrating doesn’t keep you stuck with technology that’s becoming harder to manage.
