We use Squarespace’s WordPress export where it helps, rebuild the design and everything it misses, download your images before they disappear, and redirect every URL so search visibility carries across.

A Squarespace to WordPress migration uses Squarespace’s built-in WordPress export for the content it covers, rebuilds the design and everything the export leaves out, downloads your images from Squarespace’s servers, and redirects every URL.
Squarespace provides an export in WordPress format, which is a genuine head start, but it’s partial. It covers some content types (typically pages, one blog, and basic text and image blocks) and doesn’t include your design, styles or many other content and block types. Squarespace’s own help documentation lists what’s included for your site’s version. We start by checking that list against your actual site, so the plan covers every gap.
Exact coverage depends on your Squarespace version and content. Confirmed during scoping.
Squarespace templates are polished, and many owners want to keep the look. We rebuild it in WordPress, either as a lightweight custom theme or with the block editor, matching typography, spacing and layout, while making it faster and easier to extend. If you’ve outgrown the template, the move is a natural point to redesign instead.
Rebuild the current design closely, so returning visitors feel at home.
Same brand, with improved layouts, speed and conversion paths.
Use the move to start fresh, keeping only content and URLs that matter.
Exported content often still points to images on Squarespace’s content delivery network. Those links stop working when the Squarespace site is closed. We download every image and file (including PDFs stored under /s/ paths), optimise images for the web, upload them to WordPress, and update links throughout the content.
Products can be exported from Squarespace as a CSV and imported into WooCommerce, with variants, prices, stock and images checked after import. Customer accounts and order history need separate handling and depend on what your plan allows. Shipping, tax, discount codes and checkout are rebuilt and tested with real carts.
For larger catalogues, see also WooCommerce development.
Squarespace URLs (pages, blog posts, product pages under /shop/p/ or similar, and files under /s/) are collected from the sitemap, a crawl and Search Console, then redirected one-to-one with server-side 301s. If Squarespace already had redirects set up under URL Mappings, we carry those across too.
Squarespace form blocks, newsletter blocks, scheduling and member areas don’t come across in the export. Each is rebuilt with a WordPress equivalent, or connected to the same external service you already use. We also check what else is connected to the site: email marketing, analytics, social feeds, booking tools, so nothing quietly stops working after the switch.
A photographer has a Squarespace site with gallery pages, a blog of around 80 posts, a contact form and a small print shop.
The WordPress export brings across pages and the blog; galleries need rebuilding, and every image is downloaded at full resolution from Squarespace’s CDN, optimised and served in modern formats. The design is rebuilt closely to keep the brand. Shop products move to WooCommerce via CSV. File links under /s/ and product URLs get redirects, along with existing URL Mappings. After launch, gallery pages load faster than before because images are properly sized for each screen.

Where form submissions go, and any connected services.
No. It’s a useful start for pages and one blog, but design, many block types, additional blogs, commerce and media hosting all need extra work.
If you want it to, yes. We can rebuild the design closely, refine it, or redesign it.
It can be transferred to another registrar or kept, with DNS pointed at the new hosting. Email records are copied first.
With full one-to-one redirects and carried-over content and metadata, rankings are usually protected. Some short-term movement is normal.
It depends on page count, design approach and features. You’ll get a timeline with the written scope.
