Why This Happens More Often Than You Think

If you’re a small business owner, coach, or freelancer using Squarespace, you may have recently discovered your site is no longer live — maybe the subscription lapsed, billing failed, or you missed an alert. Suddenly, your online presence disappears. 😬

This is more common than you think. And the worst part? Once your Squarespace site expires, recovering your content isn’t always straightforward.

So what now?

Step 1: Don’t Panic — Can You Recover It?

Before you rebuild from scratch, try these options:

• ✅ Reactivate Your Subscription
  If it’s been only a few weeks, Squarespace may still store your data. Log in and check.
• 🕵️‍♂️ Use the Wayback Machine (Archive.org)
  Type in your old URL — you may find cached snapshots of your pages.
• 💾 Check for Backups
  Do you have saved versions of your content, emails with images, or exported data?

If none of this works, don’t worry — rebuilding might actually be a smart move.

Should You Stay with Squarespace or Switch to WordPress?

Here’s a quick side-by-side to help you decide:

“A client of ours, Anna, had her Squarespace fitness site taken offline after a billing error. She lost weeks of bookings. We helped her recover content via the Wayback Machine, rebuilt it on WordPress, and she was live again in 3 days — with more traffic and control than ever.”

Why WordPress is Smarter for Long-Term Growth

WordPress is open-source — meaning you’re not locked into a single provider. You own everything, from your content to your hosting.

That means:

• More freedom to design and add features
• Lower long-term costs
• Stronger SEO tools to help clients find you
• Easier integrations for payments, booking, and marketing
