If you've tried to export your Squarespace site, you've met the XML file — a dump of your blog posts and nothing else. Here's exactly what's possible, in plain terms.
The short version: Squarespace's only export is a blog XML file. You can manually save content and export products as CSV, but the design and the site itself can't be exported — they have to be rebuilt. That's the service we provide: we rebuild your Squarespace site in clean HTML you own.
Instead of migrating to another platform that owns your site, the durable fix is to duplicate your Squarespace design as clean, hand-coded HTML on your own IONOS account — keeping your look, dropping the fees, owning every file. See exactly how that works on our Leave Squarespace page, or read why we deploy on IONOS.
No. The built-in export is blog posts as XML only - no design, pages or images. The site must be rebuilt to live elsewhere.
Your blog text can import into WordPress via the XML file, but your design and pages don't transfer - you'd rebuild on another platform. Rebuilding as HTML you own on IONOS avoids repeating the lock-in.
Product data exports via CSV and can be rebuilt, and you drop Squarespace's transaction fees. Complex store logic is reviewed in the free audit.
Yes. We point your domain at your new IONOS hosting and help you transfer it out of Squarespace so you own it.
