Squarespace Migration in Reading
Migrating Reading 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

Working in Reading
South East
Reading anchors the Thames Valley technology corridor, and local firms are often part of large enterprise supply chains where security review and integration standards are set by someone else.
Work here usually has to satisfy someone else's security and integration standards, because clients sit inside larger enterprise supply chains.

Squarespace Migration in Reading — 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 Berkshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South East, including Reading and the surrounding Berkshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Reading businesses do you usually work with?
- Work here usually has to satisfy someone else's security and integration standards, because clients sit inside larger enterprise supply chains. Beyond that we work across Technology, Telecommunications, Financial Services and Professional Services.
- Do you cover the areas around Reading?
- Yes — we work throughout South East, including Oxford, London, Milton Keynes, Southampton. Reading is an urban area of roughly 340,000+, and we take on work across the wider Berkshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
