Moving the site to Squarespace 7.1
Same address, same pages, same blog. The site moves onto Squarespace's newer platform, where all of its new features and editing tools are built.
Think of it as a new engine
The older Squarespace platform. It still works, but new tools and design features are built for 7.1 only.
Drag-and-drop editing that's easier for the team to use, cleaner pages on phones, and every future Squarespace improvement.

Why the cleanup comes first
Squarespace's update tool only works on sites with 150 pages or fewer. Clearing out old copies, test pages and drafts brings MoveStrong's public pages well under that line.
Old pages aren't simply deleted. Each one that people or Google might still visit is pointed to its current page, so no link breaks.
The route, in five stages
Select a stage to see what happens and what's needed from you.
Publishing the update is permanent, so it gets rehearsed on a private copy of the site first. The live site stays exactly as it is until you sign off.
