What you walk away with
The site, the code, the keys
A builder gets you online. It rarely keeps you there.
Not sure you're ready to leave? Read five signs your Squarespace site is costing you customers before you decide.
What you have now
You rent the platform.
Templates, monthly fees, scripts you never asked for, and a site you can't take with you if you leave. Fine for getting online—fragile when you need to grow, fix accessibility, or protect the SEO you spent years building.
What a migration gives you
You own the code.
Standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript—fast, accessible, and yours. Redirects mapped so search traffic follows. No subscription holding the site hostage.
Why move at all
Fix the foundation without throwing away your content
You own the result
Clean, standard code that belongs to you—not a subscription that holds your site hostage. Leave whenever you want, take it all with you.
It stays fast
Builders pile on scripts you never asked for. A hand-built site loads quickly on real phones and weak connections, and keeps doing so for years.
Search rankings come along
Migration is where most rankings get lost. Lorien maps every old URL to its new home with redirects, so the traffic you earned follows you over.
Accessible from the start
Most builder templates are not usable with a keyboard or a screen reader. A migration is the moment to fix that—semantic structure, readable contrast, real focus states. Learn about accessibility audits.
What we move from
If you can name the platform, there's a way off it
Lorien has moved sites off the common builders and the one-off DIY tools alike. Same approach every time: keep your content, rebuild the structure underneath, protect the SEO.
Squarespace
Outgrown the template, fighting the editor, or paying for plugins to do simple things. A rebuild gives you the same content on code you control. Read the warning signs.
Wix
Heavy pages, locked-in hosting, and SEO that never quite cooperates. Lorien moves the content and rebuilds the structure underneath it.
Webflow & other builders
Powerful, but still a platform you rent. If the monthly cost or the lock-in stopped making sense, there's a way out that keeps your design.
GoDaddy, Weebly & DIY tools
Sites that got the business online but can't grow with it. A migration turns a starter page into something built to last.
How a migration works
Careful, in order, nothing left behind
The whole point is a move you barely feel—your visitors land where they expect, and your rankings hold.
01
Audit what you have
Every page, every URL, every form and integration. We catch what matters before anything moves, so nothing quietly disappears.
02
Plan the move
A plain-language plan: what carries over as-is, what gets improved, the redirect map, and a fixed price. No surprises mid-project.
03
Rebuild on code you own
Your content, rebuilt on fast, accessible, standard code—matched to your brand and easy for you to update after launch.
04
Preserve SEO and launch
Redirects in place, metadata carried over, sitemap submitted. We watch search traffic through the switch so rankings hold steady.
05
Hand it over and tend it
You get the site and the keys—no lock-in. Lorien can stay on call for upkeep, or step back entirely. Your call.
