If you're a developer who's ever been asked "can you move my Squarespace site to WordPress, and how much will it cost?" — this one's for you.
The short version
Professional migrations typically land between $500–$2,500 for a standard small business site (10–40 pages, blog, standard forms). DIY costs close to nothing beyond hosting, but the risk isn't the content move — it's SEO.
What actually drives the price
- Page/post count
- Whether it's a Squarespace Commerce store (WooCommerce rebuild is a different scope entirely)
- Design complexity — Squarespace templates don't export, so it's a rebuild, not a copy-paste
- Existing SEO equity — sites with real organic traffic need careful 301 redirect mapping
- Third-party integrations (booking tools, email platforms)
The mistake that actually costs clients rankings
Not the platform switch. It's incomplete or skipped 301 redirect mapping from old Squarespace URLs to new WordPress URLs. Google doesn't carry over authority automatically — every URL needs an explicit map.
