• Add and organize pages
• Upload content
• Customize styles and fonts

2. Import Your Content

• Export products from Weebly/Wix as .csv
• Format file according to Squarespace standards
• Upload and verify product data
• Manually recreate non-importable content

3. Domain Transfer

• Transfer existing domain to Squarespace
• Or connect domain while keeping current registrar
• New users get free domain for 1 year with annual plans

4. Launch Preparation

• Choose a paid plan
• Preview site across devices
• Set site password while building
