$ ./migrate.sh --from squarespace
Paying every month for a portfolio site that barely changes? I rebuild Squarespace, Cargo, Wix, Webflow, Format, and Readymag sites as fast, hand-coded sites you own outright. It'll look identical — guaranteed — with no more monthly platform fee.
The check reads your public site — it doesn't touch or change anything. Takes a couple of minutes. You'll get one confirmation email and one result email, and the quote always comes from me personally, never a robot.
// the deal
One flat fee, quoted up front before any work starts. I move your pages, your images, your type, your domain — everything — onto hosting that costs $0 a month. If the rebuild doesn't look the same as your current site, you don't pay. And your current site stays live until you've approved the new one side by side.
// the honest math
Squarespace and friends run roughly $200–600 a year, forever. A one-time rebuild typically pays for itself inside a couple of years, and after that the site is just yours. The only recurring cost left is your domain name (around $12 a year), which you're already paying anyway.
// what you get
- the same design, page for page — usually noticeably faster
- your content moved over, your domain pointed at the new site — I handle the technical switch
- hosting set up on your own accounts, $0/month
- the code handed to you — no lock-in, to a platform or to me
// "but how do I update it?"
Send me the change — small text and image swaps are quick, and anything bigger gets a quote first. If you'd rather edit it yourself, I can wire up a simple editor; some of those carry a small monthly cost of their own, so that's your call and I'll say so up front.
// fine print
This works best for portfolio and brochure sites — which is most of them. Online stores, booking systems, and member areas are quoted separately; sometimes the platform genuinely earns its fee there, and if yours does, I'll tell you that instead of taking the job.
