FAQ
Q: Should I switch from Squarespace to WordPress? Is WordPress better?
A: The choice between Squarespace and WordPress depends entirely on your goals, experience, and long-term vision for your website.
Squarespace is known for its ease of use and all-in-one platform — great for users who want a simple, streamlined setup. WordPress, by contrast, offers significantly more flexibility, customization, and control, especially in terms of design, SEO, and scalability.
Neither platform is universally “better” — they cater to different needs. If you feel limited by Squarespace or want full ownership over your site’s structure and features, migrating to WordPress may be the right move.

Q: How long does it take to migrate my Squarespace site to WordPress, and will my current site stay online during the process?
A: Yes — your existing Squarespace website will remain fully accessible and live throughout the entire migration. The process involves creating a separate WordPress version of your site on a development domain, so your current site won’t be affected or taken offline.
As for the timeline, a standard migration usually takes 5–7 business days, depending on the size and complexity of your site. For example:
As for the timeline, a standard migration usually takes 5–7 business days, depending on the size and complexity of your site. For example:
- Smaller websites (up to 10 pages) typically take around 5 days
- Medium to large websites (20–30+ pages) may take up to 10 days
Q: Will my domain name stay the same after migrating to WordPress?
A: Yes, your domain name will remain the same after the transfer. Once your new WordPress site is ready, the domain can be connected in one of two ways: either by updating the nameservers in your domain registrar’s settings, or by transferring the domain to your new hosting provider. Both options ensure a smooth transition without changing your web address.
Q: Will my new WordPress website look and function just like my old Squarespace site?
A: My goal is always to recreate your Squarespace website on WordPress as closely as possible — both in design and functionality. In most cases, the result is a highly accurate replica.
However, some design features or components native to Squarespace may not have direct equivalents in WordPress. That said, we’ll go over all key elements of your site before the migration begins to make sure your most important content, layout, and functionality are preserved or adapted appropriately.

Q: Will I be able to manage my new WordPress site on my own, and do you offer support after the migration?
A: Absolutely. Once the migration is complete, you’ll have full control over your new WordPress website. The platform is user-friendly and designed for easy content updates — no advanced technical skills required. You’ll be able to edit text, update images, add pages, and more at your own pace.
