Migrate

Move from Squarespace to Kaleta.

Squarespace can export some content as a WordPress-format XML file, which Kaleta’s importer reads – though it has not been tested with Squarespace exports. What does not come across, Claude rebuilds from the live site.

Export file + Claude

A day or two for a typical business website

What comes across.

  • Blog posts and basic pages, possibly through the export file
  • Other pages, rebuilt by Claude from the live site
  • Images, uploaded into Media
  • Your addresses, redirected with 301

What does not.

  • Commerce, scheduling and member areas
  • Template styling – rebuilt in the design system
  • Some page types that Squarespace does not export

Step by step

How the move works.

No command line. Test everything on a subdomain first; the old site keeps running until you switch the domain.

  1. Install Kaleta – on a test subdomain and choose the starter site closest to your current one.
  2. Connect Claude – in My account → Claude, so it can work with your permissions.
  3. Try the export – in Squarespace export the site, upload the file in Import and export → WordPress and check the preview.
  4. List your pages – give Claude the addresses of your Squarespace pages, or the sitemap.
  5. Rebuild as drafts – Claude builds each page from Kaleta sections in your design system; you check the previews.
  6. Redirect and switch – add 301 redirects from the old addresses, publish, and point the domain to the new site.

Rebuild with Claude

Let Claude redo the pages.

Connect Claude, give it an old page – its address or saved HTML – and it rebuilds it as a draft from Kaleta sections, in your design system. You review the preview and publish.

How Claude works with Kaleta

Here is our old Services page. Rebuild it in Kaleta with our colours, keep the texts and redirect the old address.

Done – the Services page is saved as a draft with a 301 redirect from the old address. Here is the preview link.

Keep your rankings

An SEO checklist for the switch.

Redirects do most of the work. These few steps do the rest.

Keep the same domain and switch it over only when the new site is ready

Open your most visited old URLs and check they redirect to the right page

Set titles and descriptions for your main pages

Submit the new sitemap (/sitemap.xml) in Google Search Console

Set the company details – search engines get them as structured data

FAQ

Moving questions.

Can I use the WordPress importer?

You can try: Squarespace exports blog posts and pages in a WordPress-format file. The import preview shows what it found before anything is saved; it has not been tested with Squarespace exports.

Will I lose my search rankings?

Not if old addresses keep working. Use the same addresses where you can and add 301 redirects for the rest – Claude can create them for you.
