Website migration & rebuild — Wix or Squarespace

We operate a unique, video-forward business and need our current WordPress website migrated to (or recreated on) either Wix or Squarespace. The goal is a clean, easy-to-manage site that our internal team can update without relying on a marketing agency. The visual style and overall theme of the current site should be preserved — this is not a rebrand.

We will provide the current site URL, reference images of desired page layouts, and all media assets. We are open to a professional recommendation between Wix and Squarespace (or a justified alternative) at the start of the engagement.

Scope of work

1 — Platform selection & discovery

Review the current WordPress site and recommend the best platform (Wix, Squarespace, or reasoned alternative) based on our use case: video-heavy content, small e-commerce, and ease of self-management. Provide a brief written rationale before work begins.

2 — Website migration or rebuild

Migrate or recreate all existing pages on the selected platform. Preserve the current visual theme and branding. Restructure page layouts per reference images and direction provided. Ensure all video embeds display correctly and responsively on desktop and mobile. Optimize for fast load times and basic on-page SEO (titles, meta descriptions, alt text).

3 — E-commerce setup (5 products)

Configure an e-commerce page with up to 5 initial products. Set up payment processing, product pages, and a checkout flow. Build the store architecture to be easily expandable — adding future products should require no developer involvement.

4 — Content management training & SOP

Create a written Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) tailored to the selected platform, covering: how to update text and images on any page, how to upload and replace videos, how to add or edit products in the store, and how to publish changes safely. Deliver as a PDF or shareable document. Optionally include a short screen-recorded walkthrough (welcome, but not required).

5 — Launch & handoff

Connect the existing domain to the new site. Confirm all pages, links, and the store are functioning correctly before go-live. Provide a 7-day post-launch support window for bug fixes and minor adjustments.
