Migration · Squarespace → Next.js

Migrate from Squarespace to custom Next.js — when the brochure stops being enough.

Squarespace makes beautiful brochures. The moment you need bookings, customer portals, or real integrations, you hit a wall and start paying for plug-ins that almost work. We migrate Squarespace to custom Next.js when the templates stop fitting.

What you keep

  • Visual brand — we rebuild your design pixel-close, often improving it
  • All page URLs preserved with 301 redirects
  • Content, copy, and image library
  • Existing email integration (Mailchimp / Klaviyo / etc.)
  • Squarespace store inventory if you have one

What you gain

  • Real performance

    Squarespace 7.1 averages 5-7s LCP on mobile. Next.js + edge hosting cuts that to under 1.5s.

  • Real CMS, no template lock-in

    Edit any element, structure, or layout. No more 'the template doesn't allow that.'

  • Native bookings, portals, integrations

    Build the systems Squarespace can't — booking with deposits, customer portal, custom admin, Stripe Connect, anything.

  • Lower predictable cost

    $36/mo Squarespace Business → ~$20/mo Vercel + Supabase + domain at SMB scale.

How the migration runs

  1. 01

    Map your current site

    We pull every URL, page, and asset, then plan the new structure to keep what works and fix what doesn't.

  2. 02

    Rebuild on Next.js

    Faithfully match the design (or improve it) on a modern stack with proper typography, image handling, and schema.

  3. 03

    Add the systems Squarespace can't ship

    If you need booking, portal, admin, integrations — this is the moment to build them right.

  4. 04

    Staging review + cutover

    Full preview, you sign off, we cut DNS off-peak with 301 redirects in place.

  5. 05

    30-day monitoring

    Crawl errors, rankings, and traffic watched. Squarespace subscription cancelled after the first stable week.

What it costs

Typical range

$2,500 – $6,500+

Migration is $2,500-4,000. Adding the systems Squarespace can't ship runs $1,500-2,500 each.

Common questions

  • Can we keep our Squarespace store?

    We can migrate to a custom Stripe + Supabase commerce setup, OR keep it on Squarespace just for products and run the rest of the site on Next.js. Tell us what's more important — design control or commerce continuity.

  • What about our existing email list integration?

    Mailchimp, Klaviyo, ConvertKit, Beehiiv, Substack — all fine. We wire the new forms to whichever ESP you already use.

  • Will the new site look the same?

    We can match it exactly, or improve it (most clients want improvements during the migration). You see the design before we build.

  • How is this different from someone offering a Squarespace template upgrade?

    Templates can't break out of Squarespace's constraints. Custom Next.js gives you a real platform that grows with you. Different category.
