Lower cost, quicker loading and a real person to call. We move you off Squarespace, keep your domain and rankings, and handle everything.
Moving a website off Squarespace is for people who like the look of their site but not the monthly fee, the template limits or the slow load times. Squarespace produces a tidy page. The polish comes with trade-offs: you live inside their layouts, the subscription lands every month whether you touch the site or not, and there is no one local to call when you are stuck. Plenty of businesses reach a point where they want something faster, cheaper and more their own. We rebuild the site, keep your domain and your ranking, and give you a real person on the end of the phone.
This is a rebuild rather than a file copy. Squarespace does not hand you a portable site you can park on your own hosting. We carry across the words and images that already work, including ranking blog posts, then put 301 redirects on the old addresses. Squarespace blogs often sit under a folder path such as /blog/post-name. Those need mapping with care. Throwing the back catalogue away is a common and costly mistake.
Your domain stays in your name and we point it at the new site when it is ready. Email is untouched and keeps working. The current Squarespace site stays live until you have signed the new one off. Only then do you cancel the subscription. If you like the current look we can stay close to it, without the template feel. If you want a refresh, this is a good moment. Either way it is your call.
Afterwards there are no Squarespace fees and nothing to manage in their editor. One simple price with everything included. The comparison is on our Squarespace alternative page. The ranking steps, including the blog folder quirk, are in how to move off Squarespace without losing rankings. A free website audit will tell you straight whether the current site is earning its keep.
On Your Doorstep
A cheap “move” that clones the Squarespace layout onto another builder often keeps the same problems: heavy code, the same slow scores, and a new set of URLs with no redirects. We rebuild on a clean stack so the page actually loads, then we protect the ranking with a URL map. Keep the same path where we can. Redirect what we change. Test the old links after launch. Resubmit the sitemap in Search Console.
Squarespace is at its best for a photographer or a designer who wants a portfolio and is happy to live in the editor. It is a weaker fit for a local trade or a small firm whose customers search on a phone and want a number they can tap. Those visitors bounce from a slow page. Google notices. The businesses that win the call are usually the ones whose site answers in the first screen: what you do, where you work, how to ring you.
Oilfire Heating in Uckfield had already tried Squarespace (and Wix) before coming to us. The frustration was the same: hours in a drag-and-drop editor when he would rather be on the tools. A migration done for you is the opposite of that. You send the details, we rebuild, you sign it off, we point the domain. Six content updates a year after that are included, so you still never have to log in.
AI search has the same preference as a hurried customer. ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude quote pages that are factual, fast and structured. A Squarespace template is designed for humans scrolling a layout, not for a model trying to lift a clear answer. After the move we write answer-first copy, add FAQ pairs and structured data, and make sure the AI crawlers are allowed in. That is GEO, from £99.
The switch
Setup from £99, then £29 a month or £299 a year, with hosting and updates included. The Squarespace subscription goes once you are live.
We point it at the new site. You keep ownership. Email keeps working throughout.
Ranking posts are carried across and their /blog/ paths get 301s. We do not leave a back catalogue behind.
Stay close to the current design if you like it, or use the move to tidy it. Either way it is built around your business, not a template.
Squarespace stays up until the new site is checked. We only switch the domain when you are happy.
FAQ pairs, schema and crawler access, so ChatGPT can quote you instead of skipping a heavy template page.
How It Works
We list pages and posts, note what ranks, and agree what carries over. Squarespace stays live. Nothing is cancelled yet.
The domain stays in your name. We simply point it at the new site when it is ready. You never hand ownership to us.
We rebuild the site, bring across words and images, and keep ranking blog posts. Your email is left untouched.
Folder paths and /blog/ URLs get 301s to the new home, so Google and old links follow you across.
Only once the new site is live and checked do we point the domain. Then the Squarespace subscription can stop.
