Squarespace Migration in Colchester
Migrating Colchester organisations off Squarespace, where the URL structure is prescribed rather than chosen. Blog posts, products and events sit under paths the platform decides, so a new site on almost any other platform will have different addresses — and every one of them needs redirecting or the accumulated search value is discarded.
Why this comes up
The problem
The new site launched with a sensible URL structure and no redirects from the paths Squarespace had been using.
What you get
What we deliver
- Every existing address captured by crawling the live site
- Redirects mapped individually rather than pointing everything at the homepage
- Content exported where the platform allows and extracted where it does not
- Images retrieved at full resolution, since exports frequently omit them
- Commerce data handled separately, as products and orders export differently
- Domain and any email arrangements confirmed before cutover

Squarespace Migration in Colchester — common questions
- Why do all the URLs change?
- Because the platform prescribes the structure. Blog posts sit under a fixed path pattern and other content types have their own conventions, so a new site organised sensibly will use different addresses almost everywhere — which makes the redirect map essential rather than optional.
- How complete is the export?
- Partial. It covers a good deal of content and typically not everything — page layouts, some content types and full-resolution images frequently need retrieving separately, so treating the export as a starting point rather than a complete transfer avoids an unpleasant discovery.
- What about products and orders?
- They export separately from content and need their own handling. Order history in particular is worth capturing before the account lapses, since access to it disappears with the subscription rather than being retained for reference.
- When should the subscription be cancelled?
- After the new site is live, redirects are verified and everything has been retrieved. Cancelling first is a false economy — access to content, images and order history goes with it, and recovering them afterwards ranges from difficult to impossible.
- Do you work with businesses across Essex?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East of England, including Colchester and the surrounding Essex area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Colchester businesses do you usually work with?
- Suppliers needing security and compliance evidence for public-sector and defence procurement, plus student-facing services. Beyond that we work across Public Sector, Defence, Higher Education, Retail and Agriculture.
- Do you cover the areas around Colchester?
- Yes — we work throughout East of England, including Chelmsford, Canterbury, London. Colchester is an urban area of roughly 190,000+, and we take on work across the wider Essex region rather than the city boundary alone.
