Leaving Squarespace

Leave Squarespace. Keep your website.

Yes, you can leave Squarespace and keep your website: the same words, photos, page addresses and domain. I rebuild it from your live pages into accounts you own, and you stop paying $228 to $348 a year for the plan.

Why Squarespace's export isn't enough

Squarespace can export some of a site to a WordPress file: page text and one blog's posts, plus products and contacts as spreadsheets. Your layouts, design, galleries and forms don't come with it.

So I don't rely on it. I copy what your visitors actually see, page by page, and rebuild it in clean, fast code.

What stays the same

  • Your words and photos, page by page.
  • Your page addresses. One that has to change forwards to its new address, so links and Google still find it.
  • Your page titles and descriptions for Google.
  • Your domain and your email. Every setting is copied and checked before anything switches, and your old site stays up until then.

What changes

  • It's yours: the code is in your own GitHub account and it runs on your own Cloudflare account. Nothing of mine is needed once it's live.
  • You change it yourself: click a heading or a photo on your page and change it, from a computer or a phone.
  • $0 a year for hosting.

Pages get lighter too. Across the 44 small business home pages we've scanned, a Squarespace home page carries 207 KB of code (the middle value) before any photo loads.

What it costs

  • Staying on Squarespace: $228 to $348 a year for the plan (Basic to Core), every year. Over five years, $1,140 to $1,740.
  • Moving with me: from $349 once, or from $25 a month for 16 months. Then $0 a year for hosting, on Cloudflare's free plan.
  • Either way: your domain renews as it does today (usually about $20 a year).

Questions people ask

Will I lose my place on Google?

Your words, page addresses, page titles and descriptions stay the same, and a page whose address changes forwards to the new one. Faster pages and fixed search details tend to help, not hurt.

Do I have to move my domain?

Your domain stays yours, registered where it is now. It's pointed to your own Cloudflare account, after every setting it has is copied and checked.

Will my email or website stop working during the switch?

We copy every setting your domain has, email included, and check them before anything switches. Your current site stays up until the new one is checked, and your email provider doesn't change.

When do I cancel Squarespace?

Not yet. After launch we check your new site every day for two weeks, then tell you when it's safe to cancel your old plan.

I'm not technical. Can I do this?

Yes. You follow a short checklist with pictures: make two free accounts and click to connect them. We do the rest. After launch you change things in your own editor: click a heading or a photo on your page and change it.
