Migrations / from Squarespace
Squarespace's export covers the blog and the pages and quietly leaves the rest behind: products, galleries, events, members, forms. We take the export, fetch everything it skipped, rebuild the design on native blocks, and cut over with zero downtime. Fixed price.

In one paragraph: RoundBorders migrates Squarespace sites to WordPress at a fixed price, with zero downtime. Squarespace's WordPress export brings pages and blog posts but leaves out products, galleries, index and event pages, member areas, and forms, and its image links expire with the plan; we import the export, fetch and re-host everything it skipped, rebuild the design block for block on native WordPress blocks, and map every old URL with a 301 so rankings follow. The new site is built beside the live one and cut over by DNS in one evening. Most Squarespace-to-WordPress migrations run $699–$2,499 and take one to three weeks.
how pricing works →The export is not the site
Squarespace hands you a WordPress export file, and it feels complete. It isn't. Pages and posts are in it; the store, the galleries, and the extras aren't, and the images are links that die with the plan. We take the export, fetch the rest, and rebuild the design block for block.
Half the site sits outside the export. That gap is where DIY migrations go wrong, and it's most of the job.
Will it look the same?
Squarespace's editor is blocks. So is WordPress's. Every block on your site has a native equivalent, which is how the design comes across without a page builder, without lock-in, and without the weight.
Zero downtime, drawn
The new site is built and tested beside your live Squarespace site. On cutover night, DNS moves on a short TTL and both sites serve until the world catches up. Browsing never stops. Forms and the store (if you have one) freeze for about fifteen minutes so the last entries and orders come across exactly.
Read before you move
Three things Squarespace does for you that WordPress won't, and what we do about each. If any of them is the reason you're on Squarespace, we'll say "stay" in the free scope.
Squarespace runs the servers and the updates. On WordPress, hosting, updates, backups, and monitoring are yours to arrange.
→ Hosting we recommend (Pressable Pro Partner) and a care plan from $149/mo that watches the site. Or your own team, with our runbook.
Squarespace keeps the editor tidy by limiting it. WordPress gives you everything, which can feel like a lot at first. We hand over patterns, not a blank page.
→ Patterns designed for your content types, so every new page has a home. Admin training, recorded, in the handover.
Squarespace's built-in extras don't come with you. Each one needs a WordPress answer before the move, not after.
→ A maintained plugin where one fits (scheduling, memberships), your email provider for campaigns, a small custom plugin where none does. Scoped and priced before you decide.
The process
Same waybill as every migration we run. You're needed at one stop, for about an hour: clicking through the staging site.

Client Reviews
Real reviews from owners who left a builder behind, unedited.
Emma T. emmatang.com Roundborders is by far the BEST companies I have ever had the pleasure of working with. The combination of expertise, responsiveness, and professionalism is unmatched. I am an actual client of Roundborders and am VERY picky when it comes to who I work with, and I would absolutely recommend Roundborders to anyone looking for high quality work.
Yasmine R. myrebelmarketing.com The best part is the communication and the explanation of what's happening with your website. I was never made to feel dumb and jargon was explained. I got help for multiple projects on many websites and each time the service was exceptional.
David T. freshviewpartners.com You may find this review interesting because we are a competing Agency with Roundborders, offering all of the same services. Because this is a review of Roundborders, and we are a direct competitor, I won't directly mention who we are, but whenever we become overwhelmed with client projects due to the unforeseen with our scheduling, and we need reliable, skilled, communicative assistance to meet client objectives and deadlines, Roundborders is our go-to! Even though we are competitors, they work very cooperatively with us behind the scenes and do superb work, on-time, and on-budget. When we check their work, we find that they always follow best practices for WordPress which is very important to us and our clients. As our workload requires another set of professional developers, Roundborders will remain our preferred partner!
Squarespace to WordPress FAQ
What Squarespace site owners ask before switching, and what we tell them.
Partly. Squarespace produces a WordPress export file with your pages and blog posts, but it leaves out products, galleries, index and event pages, forms, and member areas, and its images are links to Squarespace servers that stop working when the plan ends. We import the export, fetch and re-host everything it skipped, and rebuild the design block for block.
Squarespace pages are made of blocks, and so are WordPress pages, so the design is rebuilt block for block on native WordPress blocks, not on a page builder. Where Squarespace has one fixed way (index pages, summary blocks), we design a pattern for you, so future pages match the old ones.
Not if every URL is mapped. Blog slugs transfer as they are; everything else (shop, gallery, event pages) gets a one-to-one 301, crawled before and after cutover. Titles and descriptions come across in the export, and Search Console is told about the move the same day.
Products, variants, and images are exported as a CSV and imported into WooCommerce; the checkout, taxes, and shipping are configured there. Order history can be archived as a CSV. The store stays open on Squarespace until cutover, with a short freeze so the last orders come across.
Not on the new site. The export only links to images on Squarespace's servers, so we fetch the originals at full resolution and re-host them in your WordPress media library, alt text kept. When the plan lapses, nothing on the new site changes.
Squarespace's built-in extras don't come with you. Each gets a WordPress answer before the move: a maintained plugin for scheduling or memberships, your email provider for campaigns, or a small custom plugin where nothing fits. Scoped and priced before you decide.
One to three weeks for most sites, built beside your live Squarespace site the whole time. Page count, a store, galleries, and whether the design is rebuilt as-is or redesigned are what move it.
Most sites land between $699 and $2,499, fixed after a free scope. Hosting and an optional care plan are separate and monthly. Your Squarespace plan simply lapses, and because images are re-hosted, nothing breaks when it does.
