Switching from Squarespace

Leaving Squarespace? Here's What's Next.

Squarespace makes a good-looking site quickly. The trade is that you're renting it — and the rent never stops.

Why People Leave

The Reasons We Hear Most

💳

The monthly fee never ends

At around $25–$50 a month, you'll pay more in three years than a one-time build costs, and you'll still own nothing.

🔒

You can't take it with you

There's no meaningful way to export a Squarespace site. Leave, and you rebuild from scratch.

🎨

Template ceiling

You can customize within the template. Past that point, you're stuck or paying for workarounds.

📍

Thin local SEO

Adding real, distinct pages for each city you serve is awkward — and that's exactly what local ranking needs.

🐌

Weight you don't control

Templates load scripts for features you'll never use, and you can't strip them out.

📈

Price changes are theirs to make

Your monthly cost is set by someone else's business decisions, not yours.

What You Get Instead

A Static Site You Actually Own

We build hand-coded static websites — plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. No plugins to update, no database to get hacked, no platform that can change its pricing on you.

Hosting runs on Netlify's free tier, and when the project is done we transfer everything to your Netlify account. You own the code, the content, and the domain.

One payment of $995. No monthly website fee from us, ever.

What Moving Looks Like

1

We review your current site

What's worth keeping, what's dragging you down, and what your rankings look like now.

2

We rebuild it properly

Real pages for each city and service, schema markup, and a clean technical foundation.

3

We map your old URLs

Redirects from your existing addresses so you don't lose rankings or break links.

4

You take ownership

Everything transfers to your own account. Cancel your old subscription.

FAQ

Switching Questions

Will my site still look as polished?

That's the job. Custom design means it looks like your business rather than a template thousands of others also use.

Can I move my domain?

Yes. If your domain is registered through Squarespace we'll help you transfer it out so you control it.

What happens to my Squarespace content?

We rebuild your pages properly rather than importing them. Your copy and images come across.

What will I pay after the build?

Your domain (roughly $10–15 a year) and nothing else. Netlify's free tier covers hosting.

What if I need changes later?

The site is yours — edit it, hire anyone, or ask us. There's no lock-in either way.

Done With Squarespace?

One payment. No monthly fee. You own it.
