Brisbane · Australia and New Zealand

Balar Media Group migrates websites from Squarespace to custom WordPress, Shopify or WooCommerce. Our Brisbane team redesigns the site from a blank canvas, moves your pages, blog posts, images and products, redirects every old Squarespace address to its new page, and sets up Search Console and analytics, so your Google rankings and enquiries carry over.

Squarespace to WordPress Migration

Why do businesses leave Squarespace?

Squarespace makes a good-looking first website. The trouble starts when the business grows: every competitor's site has the same layout, the SEO settings stop where the template stops, and the feature you need next is one the platform does not offer.

Migrate From Squarespace

A site that is finally yours.

Custom designFull SEO control301 redirect mapYou own it

Squarespace's own export carries only part of a website: some pages and blog posts, but not products or the design. A proper move is a rebuild, and the risk in any rebuild is the same: addresses change, Google hits dead ends and rankings slip.

We remove that risk before the build starts. Every page on your Squarespace site is listed with what it ranks for, every old address is redirected to its new page, and titles and descriptions travel with the content.

What you get on the other side is a custom-designed website with no template ceiling: the structure Google wants, the features your business needs, and nothing rented.

What's Included

The whole move, handled.

You keep running the business. We move the website.

Pages, Posts & Images

Your pages, blog posts and image galleries moved across and tidied, including the parts Squarespace's export leaves behind.

Products & Store

Products, categories and variants rebuilt on Shopify or WooCommerce, with a checkout designed to sell.

Rankings Protected

A redirect for every old address, titles and descriptions carried over, and the new sitemap submitted to Google at launch.

Custom Design

No template. A design built around how your customers decide, shown to you in Figma before a line of code is written.

Easy To Edit

WordPress built in Beaver Builder: your team edits text, images and pages as easily as before, with far more room to grow.

Hosting & Care

Fast Australian hosting, security, backups and support after launch, from the team that built the site.

The Process

No downtime. No dead links.

Your Squarespace site stays live until the new one is finished and tested.

Step 01

Audit

Every page, post and product listed, with the searches each one ranks for and the links pointing at it.

Step 02

Design

A custom design in Figma for you to approve, built around your customers rather than a template.

Step 03

Build & move

The new site built on a private address, content moved in, redirects mapped, forms and tracking tested.

Step 04

Switch over

Your domain points to the new site, Google gets the new sitemap, and we monitor rankings and enquiries afterwards.

What You Move To

Designed from a blank canvas.

Squarespace to WordPress or Shopify

Which platform next?

Scope My Project

The platform follows the job. We settle it with you at scoping, before any design work.

Squarespace to WordPress

For service businesses, studios and professional firms that live on enquiries. Custom WordPress gives you the page structure, speed and SEO control a template cannot.

Squarespace to Shopify or WooCommerce

For stores that have outgrown Squarespace Commerce: more products, better checkout, real integrations with shipping, stock and accounting. See eCommerce website design.

On Wix instead?

We move those too. See Wix migration.

FAQs

Squarespace migration questions, answered.

Can't see yours? Ask us directly.

Ask A Question

Can you migrate my Squarespace site to WordPress?

Yes. We rebuild the site on custom WordPress and move your pages, blog posts and images across, including the content Squarespace's own export does not carry.

Can you move my Squarespace store to Shopify?

Yes. Products, categories and variants are rebuilt on Shopify, or on WooCommerce if your store needs custom pricing or integrations, and every old product address is redirected to the new one.

Will my SEO survive the move from Squarespace?

That is what the redirect map is for. Every old address points to its new page, titles and descriptions come across, and the new sitemap is submitted to Google at launch. Expect some movement for a few weeks while Google re-reads the site; we watch it through.

Do I keep my domain and my email?

Yes to both. The domain is pointed to the new site, or transferred to a registrar in your name if it was bought through Squarespace. Email keeps working because we change only the website's records.

Will the new site look like my Squarespace site?

Only if you want it to. Most clients take the chance to step up: we design from a blank canvas around your brand and your customers, and you approve the design before the build.

Is WordPress harder to edit than Squarespace?

Not the way we build it. Our WordPress sites use Beaver Builder, a visual editor, so changing text, images and pages feels familiar. We walk your team through it at handover.

How long does it take to migrate from Squarespace?

It depends on the number of pages and products. You get a timeline with your scope, and your Squarespace site stays live until the new one is tested and ready.

Where is your team based?

Our office is at Level 1, 1024 Ann Street, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane. We work with businesses across Australia and New Zealand.

We've been working with incredible clients to craft impactful stories and engaging experiences that matter.
