Moving my domain and content within Squarespace

Hi everyone 🙂

I want to redesign my Squarespace website and move it to another template, which is actually a different site within Squarespace.

I already have organic traffic, so I want to do it properly.

Besides copying everything to the new site (including the exact URLs, submitting a new site map, etc.), do I need to create 301 redirects?

Any other helpful tips to make this process easier are also welcome.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @NatalieSha, this is a great question! When redesigning your site, matching URLs is a good way to minimize changes in your site's SEO ranking. You can use 301 redirects if any pages have been removed or if the URL slug has changed. The tips in this guide may be helpful to review:
