- If you leave
SquarespaceSquarespace can export some of a site's content as a file for WordPress, but not every page type, and not the design or style settings (as of October 2026).
MiniMorph StudiosYour site, content and domain are yours outright. Once you approve a draft, or the first-draft guarantee ends, you can download a full copy from your portal at any time; if we hold your domain, we release it within 14 days of you asking.
Design: templates you shape, or a site made for you
Squarespace's templates look good out of the box, and many owners are happy to spend a few evenings making one their own. The hard part is usually not the design but the words: what to say about each service, in what order, so that a stranger on a phone calls you.
We start from your answers instead of a template. Elena, our AI assistant, asks about your services, your customers and your area in a guided onboarding, we write and design the pages from that, and you approve everything before it goes live.
Time to launch
A Squarespace site can go live as soon as you are happy with it, and the trial gives you time to try the tool first. With us, the first draft usually arrives 1 to 2 weeks after onboarding wraps, and you have 14 days to review the first draft and send us one list with every change you want; we revise the draft from it, and nothing goes live until you approve it.
Taking your site with you
Squarespace can export some of a site's content as a file for WordPress, but not every page type, and not the design or style settings (as of October 2026). So moving off Squarespace usually means rebuilding the design somewhere else.
With us, your site is yours outright: once you approve a draft, or the first-draft guarantee ends, you can download a full copy from your portal at any time, as ordinary files any host can serve.
