| Question | Squarespace | AnythingTo |
|---|---|---|
| How do I move the site? | Squarespace provides an XML export for supported content. Its documentation lists excluded content and does not include the site’s styling in that export. | Provide the published website address. Review the rebuilt pages and editable content in WordPress before launch. |
| Where will I edit the result? | Keep using Squarespace if you stay on the original platform. | Edit the converted site in WordPress. Changes do not synchronise back to Squarespace. |
| Is this a full account migration? | Check the provider’s export documentation for supported content and exclusions. | No. The conversion covers the website’s available design and content, with separate work for backend services. |
Provider reference: Squarespace: what its content export includes. Features can change; check the current documentation before deciding.
What should I check before switching?
Commerce checkout, Member Areas and Scheduling need separate replacements. Existing comments do not transfer through AnythingTo; review blog content and URLs before launch.
Compare page addresses, titles and descriptions, test forms and navigation, and review phone layouts. Keep the original site until the replacement is ready. Moving platforms does not guarantee better search rankings or AI citations.
