Rebuild Our Nonprofit Website on Squarespace — Migrate Existing Content + Connect New Tools

Other Jobs To Apply

We’re a small community-focused nonprofit. We have an existing website built on WordPress that we want fully rebuilt on Squarespace. We’re non-technical, so the most important outcome is a clean, modern, mobile-friendly site that we can update ourselves after launch without needing a developer every time. We’d like all of our current content and functionality carried over, plus a few new tools connected (listed below).

What we have now (current WordPress site)

Our current site includes:

• A homepage with a rotating featured event/banner

• An events calendar with individual event pages

• A news / blog section with articles

• A business directory organized by category (dining, shopping, entertainment, hall rentals, activities & services)

• Informational pages: about us, contact, parking & info, available commercial space, grant opportunities, sponsorship, and local resources

• A newsletter signup form

• Social media links and an embedded social feed (the feed is currently broken and needs to be rebuilt)

• Several downloadable PDFs (guides and an annual report)

• Google Analytics / Tag Manager tracking

What we need

1. A full rebuild of the site on Squarespace, matching or improving on the current structure and content

2. Migration of all existing pages, events, news posts, images, and PDFs (we can help supply anything that doesn’t transfer cleanly)

3. A working events calendar that we can add to and edit ourselves

4. A business directory we can maintain ourselves (add/remove/edit listings)

5. A newsletter signup that connects to our email tool

6. A working, modern social media feed integration

7. A donation / sponsorship option set up for online giving

8. Mobile-responsive design across phone, tablet, and desktop

9. Connection to our existing domain, with SSL/HTTPS and proper redirects from old URLs so we don’t lose search traffic

10. Basic SEO carried over (page titles, meta descriptions, favicon, social share image)

Hosting guidance

We have not finalized our hosting setup and want your recommendation. Please advise on the best plan and configuration (Squarespace includes hosting, but we want your input on the right plan tier, domain connection, and anything else we should know). We need to own and control all accounts.

New tools to integrate

We’re adopting some new tools and want them connected at launch:

Handoff and live training (important to us)

Because we’re non-technical, this is a key part of the job:

• A live 2–3 hour training session with our staff (video call or in person) walking through how to update every part of the site and all functionality — adding/editing events, directory listings, news posts, images, text, forms, and any connected tools

• A short recorded walkthrough (Loom or similar) we can refer back to later

• A simple one-page cheat sheet for routine updates

• Admin access and full ownership of the Squarespace account, domain, and any connected tools

To apply

Please share examples of Squarespace sites you’ve built (nonprofit or directory/events sites a plus), your proposed timeline, and your flat-fee quote. Let us know if you also offer ongoing maintenance.
