About Squarespace to Webflow Export
There's no migration path from Squarespace to Webflow. No importer, no converter, no shortcut. You're rebuilding.
Why do people make this switch anyway?
Design control. Squarespace templates are polished but restrictive. Move something the template doesn't expect and you hit walls. Webflow exposes every CSS property, if you can design it, you can build it.
Cleaner code. Squarespace outputs heavy JavaScript and nested markup. Webflow generates relatively clean HTML and CSS. Pages load faster. Developers can actually work with the output.
Animations. Webflow's interaction system handles complex scroll effects, hover states, and page transitions that Squarespace can't match. For portfolio sites or agencies showing off, this matters.
Code export. On paid Workspace plans, Webflow lets you download your site's code. Squarespace keeps you locked to their hosting forever. (Though our tool exports either platform to HTML for free.)
Here's how to approach the rebuild:
First, export your Squarespace site to HTML. You can't import it into Webflow, but you can open those files as reference. See exactly how your current site looks while building the new version.
Second, learn Webflow basics. Honestly, this takes time. Webflow University has hours of tutorials. Plan a week of learning before you're productive. CSS concepts help enormously, flexbox especially.
Third, recreate your design in Webflow. Work section by section. Header, hero, content blocks, footer. It goes faster once you understand Webflow's class system.
Fourth, move content manually. Copy text from your Squarespace site or HTML export. Download images and re-upload them. There's no automated way.
Fifth, set up hosting. Webflow hosting starts at $14/month. Or export the code (if you're on a Workspace plan) and host elsewhere for free.
The honest question: is it worth it?
If you need Webflow's design capabilities, custom layouts, complex animations, developer handoff, then yes. The rebuild pain is temporary; the control is permanent.
If you just want a nicer portfolio site? Maybe not. Your Squarespace design probably works fine. Export it to static HTML and host free. Same result, zero platform switching.
Webflow is powerful. But power isn't always necessary. Evaluate what you actually need before committing to a full rebuild.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I import my Squarespace site into Webflow?
No. Webflow has no import feature for other platforms. You're rebuilding your site from scratch in Webflow's designer. Export your Squarespace site to HTML as a visual reference.
Why switch from Squarespace to Webflow?
Design control. Webflow exposes CSS properties directly, enabling layouts Squarespace can't achieve. Also cleaner code output, better animations, and the ability to export code (on paid plans).
Is Webflow harder to use than Squarespace?
Yes. Webflow has a steep learning curve because it exposes web development concepts. If you understand CSS, flexbox, grid, positioning, you'll love it. If not, expect to struggle initially.
Is Webflow more expensive than Squarespace?
Comparable. Webflow site hosting starts at $14/month vs Squarespace's $16/month. But Webflow also has workspace fees for teams and code export ($16-49/seat). Solo users pay similar amounts.
