Switching from Framer to Squarespace

Squarespace has no Framer importer and Framer does not export HTML. Export CMS content to CSV with a plugin, then rebuild pages in a Squarespace template.

Bottom line up frontby Bill Belcamino, founder of HelpCompare
Editorial assessment

Bottom line up front: Is it worth moving a Framer site to Squarespace?

Don't move if your site's appeal is its motion and custom layout, because Framer interactions, animations and CMS page templates don't transfer and Squarespace can't import another site's design.

The move pays when many people edit or you sell online: Squarespace Core includes unlimited contributors where Framer charges $20 a month per extra editor, and its store fee is 0% from Core. If that's you, export your CMS collections to CSV or JSON with a Framer plugin first, since Squarespace has no importer for them and you'll paste content in by hand. Then freeze content on the old site. A hand rebuild takes weeks, and any edit someone makes to the live Framer site in the meantime is one you'll have to spot and copy again. Keep Framer's Site plan until redirects are in place and every rebuilt page has been checked.

Switching Cost & Friction Estimator

Most buyers only budget for the new subscription. This estimates the hidden labor, data-cleanup, and retraining cost of actually making the switch.

Estimate assumes: 1 hour of data-mapping/cleaning labor per 2,000 records, a blended $75/hr ops rate, tiered migration & cleaning tooling fees, and 4 hours of retraining per seat at a $45/hr fully-loaded rate.

    Why teams move from Framer to Squarespace

    Unlimited contributors

    Squarespace Core and above include unlimited contributors; Framer charges $20 a month per additional editor.

    Commerce built in

    0% online store transaction fee from Core.

    All-in-one bill

    Templates, hosting, commerce and scheduling in one plan.

    How the migration actually works

    Neither side has a direct importer for the other, so page layouts are rebuilt by hand.

    StepWhat you do
    1Export CMS contentUse a Framer plugin to export CMS collections to CSV or JSON.
    2Save assetsDownload images and files you will reuse.
    3Start a Squarespace trialEvery Squarespace site starts with a 14-day free trial, no card; choose Basic, Core or higher when you publish.
    4Rebuild pagesSquarespace cannot import another site’s layout, design or fonts, so recreate each page with its sections and blocks.
    5Bring in contentPaste blog and CMS content into Squarespace; products can be imported from a CSV.
    6Move the domain and redirectPoint your domain at Squarespace and create URL redirects from old paths.
    7Cancel FramerDowngrade or cancel the Site plan once the new site is live.

    What this path doesn’t do for you:

    Framer interactions, animations and CMS page templates do not transfer. Squarespace’s importers cover WordPress, Blogger and Tumblr posts and store products, not Framer CMS collections, so plan to paste content in.

    Before you cut over

    • Set up single sign-on in Squarespace on Premium before you invite the team, so accounts are created through your identity provider rather than by hand.

    Checked September 27, 2026 against each vendor’s own trust center, help docs and app pages. Hover or tap “source” to see the exact wording we relied on. “Not published” means we could not find the vendor saying it on its own site; it doesn’t mean the feature is missing. Plan names are the lowest plan the vendor says includes the feature. Security · Offline · Remote vs office · Download the data

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can Squarespace import my Framer site?

    No. Squarespace imports from WordPress, Blogger and Tumblr, and products from Big Cartel, Etsy, Shopify or a CSV; layouts and design are rebuilt.

    Will Squarespace cost more?

    Per site, yes: Basic is $19 a month (annual) against Framer Basic at $10 (yearly), but Core includes unlimited contributors where Framer charges $20 per extra editor.

    Can I export my Framer site as HTML?

    No. Framer’s help center says it does not offer HTML export for self-hosting.
