Squarespace sells a simple idea, and for many people it is the right one. Then comes the part where you have to write every page, pick every image and decide how forms should work. If you are weeks into it and the site still shows sample text, handing it over can be the better use of your time.
What happens to the work you already did
Your existing pages are a brief. We look at the layout you chose, the pages you wrote, the photos you picked and the things you liked about the template. Then we build the finished site on our managed hosting using that direction.
We do not edit inside your Squarespace account, and you do not have to give us access to it. Send the web address and the content you have, and keep the account safe in case you want to export anything yourself.
Getting your content out
- ✓Page text — copy it into a document or message in order
- ✓Images — download the original files you uploaded, not the thumbnails
- ✓Blog or news posts — note how many there are and which you want kept
- ✓Forms and newsletter links — write down where submissions currently go
Domain and email during the move
Check where your domain is registered. If you bought it through Squarespace it stays registered to you, and you can keep it there or transfer it later. If it was registered elsewhere, nothing changes. In both cases we only point it at the new site after you approve it.
Business email deserves a quick check before anything else. If your mailboxes run through a separate email provider, they keep working. Tell us how you receive mail and we plan the switch around it.
What you get at the end
- ✓A finished site on our hosting — written, designed and tested on mobile
- ✓Copy we write and you approve — ten revision rounds are included
- ✓A working contact form — tested before the domain moves
- ✓Care from $30/month — hosting, backups and small edits
What to expect, honestly
- ✓We build outside Squarespace — no editing inside your account
- ✓Squarespace-only features are recreated, not duplicated — layouts may look different
- ✓We cannot promise to retrieve content you cannot export — send what you have
One example of what your site could look like
This is one sample we designed. Yours is built around your business, your photos and your words, and we have more examples if you want to compare directions.
