The GALAPA Blog

Squarespace and Webflow both start under $30 a month, so pricing rarely predicts which one is the right choice. The real question is whether the platform can grow with the site: Squarespace's CMS is limited to a handful of preset content types (blog, store, portfolio, events, video), while Webflow's CMS supports 16 field types and custom code. Squarespace-to-Webflow migrations typically take 2 to 6 weeks once a business outgrows its original platform.

Migrating a site from WordPress to Webflow typically costs between $3,000 and $15,000 for a standard SMB project, depending on whether a redesign is included. A realistic timeline runs 4 to 6 weeks for a simple 10-page site, and 8 to 12 weeks for a full redesign with 30 pages and an active blog. The biggest financial risk comes from poorly executed 301 redirects, which can wipe out years of accumulated SEO equity, well beyond the development budget itself.

Charging AI bots for content access is a visibility trade-off, not a revenue strategy. Publishers who paywall AI crawlers disappear from ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude answers — the exact interfaces where 2026 search traffic is migrating. For most Quebec SMBs and agencies, free AI visibility during this transition window is worth far more than nominal licensing fees.
