Job Title: Web Developer Needed: Simple Migration from Square to Self-Hosted WordPress

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. To Apply: Please answer the following: Have you performed migrations from Square to WordPress before? What is your recommended approach for keeping hosting costs low for a small business? What is your estimated timeline for a migration of this size (a small shop with one blog post)?
