Site Migration

134 blog posts moved across a migration path Squarespace does not officially support.

Savour Partnership ran on Squarespace 7.0, a version being left behind. Moving to 7.1 sounds simple until you learn there is no native migration path for blog content.

The problem.

Squarespace offers no direct 7.0 to 7.1 blog migration. The export format breaks on import, posts lose formatting, images detach, and the standard advice is to rebuild everything by hand. With 134 posts, manual rebuilding was not an option.

The content had to arrive with formatting, images, and URL structure preserved, because years of SEO equity lived in those posts.

What I built.

Full content export from Squarespace 7.0 (Brine/Fairfield template family)
Extensive XML debugging to repair the export format for clean import
WordPress used as an intermediary bridge to restructure the data
134 blog posts migrated with formatting and media intact
Verification pass across the imported content
Coordination with the client designer for static page rebuilds and domain cutover

The stack.

Squarespace 7.0 Squarespace 7.1 XML WordPress Content Migration

The result.

All 134 posts arrived in 7.1 cleanly on a migration path the platform itself does not support. The client kept her content history and her SEO equity, and the referral came from another happy client, which is its own kind of proof.
