Squarespace to Astro Migration

Outgrow Squarespace without rebuilding from scratch. Move to Astro for speed, ownership, and a site that scales with you.

Why migrate Squarespace to Astro

Faster page loads

Squarespace ships heavy templates and runtime JavaScript. Astro ships lean static HTML, cutting load times dramatically.

No monthly fees

Cancel your Squarespace subscription. A static Astro site runs on cheap or free hosting with no per-seat pricing.

Full design control

Break out of Squarespace templates. Every pixel is yours to customise with Tailwind and components.

Better SEO

Clean static HTML, fast Core Web Vitals, and full control over titles, meta, schema, and sitemaps.

Own your content

Posts and pages move into Markdown in your own repository — versioned and exportable, never locked in.

Better developer experience

TypeScript, components, and a modern build pipeline replace Squarespace's drag-and-drop constraints.

How the migration works

  1. Step One

    Audit & discovery

    I review your Squarespace site: pages, blog posts, images, domains, and any third-party embeds.

  2. Step Two

    Content export

    Blog posts are exported and converted to Markdown. Design assets and images are pulled down for the new build.

  3. Step Three

    Build the Astro site

    I design and build your new site in Astro, keeping the look you had or refreshing it — your call.

  4. Step Four

    SEO & redirects

    URLs are preserved or mapped with 301 redirects, and on-page SEO is carried over to the new build.

  5. Step Five

    Launch & handover

    We deploy to static hosting, point the domain, and I hand over the repo with documentation.

Squarespace to Astro — frequently asked questions

Will I lose my SEO rankings?+

No. I preserve your URL structure or set up 301 redirects, carry over titles and meta descriptions, and keep your sitemap intact so search rankings hold.

What happens to my Squarespace blog?+

Every post is exported and converted to Markdown, including images and formatting. You keep full ownership of the content.

Can I still edit content without a developer?+

Yes. I can wire up a headless CMS like Sanity or Keystatic so you can edit through a dashboard, or you can edit Markdown files directly.

How long does a Squarespace to Astro migration take?+

A typical site takes 1–3 weeks depending on page count, design complexity, and how much functionality needs rebuilding.

Do I keep my domain?+

Yes. We point your existing domain at the new static host during launch — no downtime, no domain transfer needed.
