Moving your website from Squarespace to WordPress
Squarespace to WordPress Migration Service
Many of our clients have started their digital marketing journey with either a self-built website from Squarespace, or they have commissioned a freelancer from one of the many “gig” platforms. An inexpensive website can be a good place to start, and because of the many preset templates that Squarespace offers, it is not difficult for even a novice to produce something quite presentable.
There comes a time when many clients want or need to take their website to the next stage and we have extensive experience in helping clients transition from Squarespace to WordPress.
There are many reasons to move, but the most common we hear is the limitations provided by Squarespace. Much like Apple Iphones and the App Store, Squarespace is a closed ecosystem where only a limited number of applications can be integrated into their websites and often there comes a point where clients require functionality that just can’t be achieved in Squarespace.
WordPress, on the other hand, is an open system, and additional functionality can be added to any WordPress website using “Plugins”.
Plugins are modules providing functionality, and at the current count, there are more than 59,000 available in the WordPress library. In addition, tens of thousands of premium plugins offer additional or enhanced functionality.
With WordPress, if you can imagine it, then we can probably build it. Whether you want a slick brochure site, and e-commerce store or a very specific set of functionality. with WordPress and its Plugins it can usually be achieved – and if there isn’t a readily available solution, we can build one for you.

Why Switch from Squarespace to WordPress
Flexibility and Customization
WordPress offers unparalleled flexibility in terms of design and functionality. With thousands of plugins available and the ability for completely custom design, you have full control over how your website looks and functions.
Ownership and Control
Unlike Squarespace, where you're essentially renting space on their platform, WordPress is self-hosted, giving you full ownership and control over your website and its data.
Scalability
WordPress is highly scalable and can accommodate websites of any size, from small blogs to large e-commerce stores, without compromising performance.
SEO Optimized
WordPress offers much more advanced SEO capabilities than Squarespace. You have more control over metadata, permalinks, and other SEO elements, which can help improve your website's visibility in search engine results.
Integration Options
WordPress seamlessly integrates with a wide range of third-party services and tools, making it easier to add features like email marketing, analytics, social media integration, and more to your website.
Security
Whilst no website is immune from security threats, WordPress has a robust security ecosystem with regular updates to help protect your website from vulnerabilities. We offer robust, secure hosting for your WordPress site.
Cost-Effectiveness
While Squarespace has a fixed monthly fee, WordPress is free to use. You only will need to pay for the design of your website and hosting but there are no recurring fees which can result in cost savings in the long run.
Room for Growth
As your website grows and your needs evolve, WordPress can adapt to accommodate those changes. Whether you want to add new features, redesign your site, or scale up your infrastructure, WordPress provides the flexibility to support your growth.
