While Wix only supports importing blog posts from WordPress, Squarespace lets you import pages, blog posts, and other content from a WordPress, Tumblr, or Blogger site.<\/p>\n<p>However, Squarespace can&rsquo;t duplicate fonts, templates, or your page layouts, so you&rsquo;ll need to start with a template that suits your site.<\/p>\n<p>Both Wix and Squarespace support <strong>bulk product importing via CSV files and prompt you to transfer an existing domain during initial setup,<\/strong> which speeds up the remainder of the migration process. If you get stuck along the way, you&rsquo;ll have the option to hire a Wix or Squarespace expert to handle the switch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#10145;&#65039; <\/strong><em><strong>Review your options in our detailed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/website-builders\/comparisons\/wix-vs-squarespace-vs-wordpress\/\">Wix vs Squarespace vs WordPress<\/a> comparison.<\/strong><\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&rdquo;134558&Prime; img_size=&rdquo;full&rdquo; add_caption=&rdquo;yes&rdquo; alignment=&rdquo;center&rdquo; css=&rdquo;&rdquo;]\n <footer>\n <\/footer>\n<\/p><\/section>\n\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n<section class=\"taco-content-section \" id=\"section-0\">\n <header class=\"taco-section-header no-number\">\n\n <div class=\"taco-section-heading\">\n <h2 class=\"taco-section-title primary\">\n \n How We Test Website Builders <\/h2>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/header>\n\n \n\n [vc_column_text css=&rdquo;&rdquo;]When comparing two of the top website builders, like Wix and Squarespace, we carry out regular testing to guarantee that our recommendations and judgments are accurate.\n<p>After over <strong>300 hours of data analysis and hands-on testing with each builder<\/strong>, Wix and Squarespace have been awarded a star rating out of five for each core area of investigation in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/website-builders\/how-we-conduct-our-website-builder-research\/\">our research process<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Website Features: 30%<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Design Features: 25%<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Pricing: 15%<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>User Experience: 15%<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Help and Support: 10%<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Reputation: 5%<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I sat down and built websites with both Wix and Squarespace myself, so you know that any insights I share on using the builders are based on real, first-hand experience.

It&rsquo;s really the best all-in-one resource for website owners.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Squarespace sits just behind, providing a beginner-friendly editing experience, stunning templates, and great booking tools. As a result,<strong> I recommend Squarespace to creatives and service-based businesses <\/strong>who want an aesthetically pleasing site.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>If you&rsquo;re deciding between Wix or Squarespace, you&rsquo;re guaranteed a top-quality builder.
