Leaving Squarespace or Wix

Should you stay on Squarespace or Wix, or move to a custom-crafted site you still edit yourself? How to decide, and what you keep either way.

Website builders are a great way to start. The question is whether yours still fits the business you have now.

Stay on the builder if

  • You like editing it and it does what your customers need.
  • You mostly need it to look more polished and work better on phones.

Consider moving if

  • You're fighting the template to make it look like your business.
  • You need booking, invoices, or a client area the builder can't do well.
  • You'd rather someone else handle the upkeep.

What you keep either way

Your domain, your words, and your images are yours. Moving is mostly a matter of rebuilding the pages, not starting your business's online presence over.
