Web Developer Needed: Simple Migration from Square to Self-Hosted WordPress
Project Overview:
I am looking for an experienced developer to help me "break free" from Square. Currently, my herbalist website is tethered to a main Square account I no longer use, and I need to move it to a completely independent, self-hosted WordPress site that I own and control.
This is a one-time project to set up the new site and move my existing content (a small number of products and one blog post). Once the site is live, I am potentially open to discussing ongoing monthly marketing strategies, but my immediate priority is the successful migration and setup of the new site.
Scope of Work:
Platform Setup: Set up a clean, independent WordPress site using a budget-friendly hosting provider. I am looking for your recommendation for a reliable, low-cost host.
Content Migration: Manually move my products and my one blog post from the old site to the new one.
Domain: Guide me through the process of pointing my existing custom domain away from Square and to the new host.
Total Independence: Ensure the new site is completely disconnected from any previous Square accounts so it cannot be "hijacked" or funneled through other accounts.
SEO Foundation: Ensure the site is set up correctly for basic SEO so I can grow my traffic over time.
Requirements & Budget:
Budget-First Mindset: I am a small business owner. I am looking for a setup that keeps monthly overhead extremely low (standard shared hosting + free WordPress/WooCommerce). Please do not propose expensive "managed" enterprise-level plans.
Communication: I need someone who can explain technical steps clearly so I can manage the site myself afterward.
Experience: Please provide examples of previous website work.
Potential for Future Work:
While this is a one-time migration job, I am open to hiring someone for ongoing monthly marketing strategy if the migration goes well and we are a good fit.
