How to move from an existing website to a Hold Space Creative template

Whether you have an existing website on Squarespace, or you're moving from another platform like Wordpress or Brighter Vision, moving to a Hold Space Creative template is easy.

Step One: Customize your website
First, we recommend working on your new template website from Hold Space Creative. Customize your color palette, insert your pictures, add your copy, and set up your page structure until you reach a place where you're ready to launch your new website.
Step Two: Purchase a Squarespace subscription
Next, subscribe to Squarespace by navigating to Settings > Billing.
Step Three: Transfer your existing domain and any remaining information

Step Four: Redirect URLs
