From WordPress to Squarespace: A Seamless Migration for Improved Website Design
Website design for a maths tutor
As a website designer, I was recently approached by a maths tutor in London who wanted to improve the design and performance of her website. She had been using WordPress for her site, but was finding it difficult to make the changes she wanted and to monitor her website's performance on a regular basis. We discussed her goals for the website and decided that migrating to Squarespace would be the best option for her.
One of the main reasons we decided to switch to Squarespace was the platform's flexibility in terms of website templates. Squarespace offers a wide range of professionally designed templates that can be customised to fit the specific needs of a business or individual. We chose a template that suited the tutor's needs and began to make customisations to it. This allowed us to create a unique look for the site that was tailored to the tutor's business.
Another benefit of Squarespace is its built-in functionality. Unlike WordPress, Squarespace doesn't rely on third-party apps for basic website features. This not only makes it easier to manage the site, but it also means there are fewer potential issues to deal with. For example, we were able to easily add a blog section to the site, which helped to keep the content fresh and improve search engine optimisation.
One of the biggest improvements we made to the site was the distribution of content. The original website had all of its content on a single, long scrolling page. This made it difficult for visitors to find what they were looking for and also hurt the site's search engine ranking. We divided the content into several pages, which made it easier to navigate and improved the site's overall user experience.
Squarespace also offers excellent SEO tools that are easy to use, even for beginners. We were able to optimise the site's content and structure to improve its search engine ranking, which is crucial for any business that wants to attract new customers online.
Overall, migrating the maths tutor's website from WordPress to Squarespace was a seamless process that resulted in a significant improvement in website design and performance. The tutor now has more control over her website, and can easily make changes to it as needed. If you're looking to improve your website's design and functionality, I highly recommend considering a migration to Squarespace.
