User friendly, easy to learn and design, great integrations, customization, and looks excellent on mobile.
Zapier is necessary for a lot of data collection (not all), and I'd love to send straight to ActiveCampaign instead.
Data collection, on site sales, traffic analytics, and monitoring/editing on my phone via their app.
Beautiful pre-designed templates that are ready to use. I also love how easy it is to customize the designs and make them your own. The included color pallets and font packages are great for users that need help from a design perspective.
Upgrading the website to Squarespace's latest version required an entire website redesign. I wish there was an option to update and migrate the site to the latest version without starting from scratch. This was very time-consuming. I also wish there was more customization with the drag and drop template designs and allowing more areas to put content. The image gallery is glitchy. Moving images around in the grid preview has a lot of errors. Images will not drag and drop where you put them and Squarespace sometimes doesn't save the new grid.
Creating beautiful websites for my businesses! Easy to design and change things out. Love the benefits of SEO through my Squarespace websites. Clients can easily find my website on Google due to my SEO work on my website.
Easy to use and manage everything for a small business without training or business background. Easy to create, share, and execute.
Square alerts you on the main website, not the mobile site, to update information. The last time they did that, they held payments to my account for over a week, which can be tough on a small business owner.
I am staying more organized with my small business and able to onboard, schedule, and pay employees quickly.
I love how straightforward Squarespace is and how nice it can make your website look. I think almost anyone can pick up Squarespace and get a good grasp of it in a very short amount of time, and all of the templates it provides should help anyone pick a decent starting point for their website.
While Squarespace is really good on a surface level, it feels like it can be hard to get super deep down into it. If you have a super niche website requirement then Squarespace might not be able to pull it off.
Squarespace helps make websites for people that don't want to code a website, and it allows them to do it in a visually appealing manner that any person can be proud of after finishing their website.
I love that Square Space makes website design truly simple. The prepaid templates are attractive and make it easy to input your content. The program is intuitive and easy to use, even for someone who doesn't know a lot about web design.
I honestly don't think that there are many features I dislike. The only one would be that you have to pay extra to send email campaigns. However, this can be overcome by connecting your Squarespace site to Convertkit.
Squarespace has helped me get a website for my business up and running very quickly. It's allowed me to combine a blog and store in one site, which is fantastic.
After years of using a custom web design program, the Internet became too complex for a small non-profit like ours to keep up with all of the rapid advances. Enter Squarespace. The easy-to-use drag and drop capabilities saved so much time updating our website.
Although Squarespace continues to improve, I have given up some custom-design capabilities. Although I wish I could make some custom tweaks, the time and ease of making updates are well worth the tradeoff.
The issue I am solving by using Squarespace is saving time updating our website yet maintaining a professional look. The old saying is true; time is money. Having the e-commerce platform integrated and easy to use is gold (pun intended).
It's honestly the easiest time I've ever had creating my own website. The drag-and-drop tools make redesigning each page SUPER easy. My site looks like I hired a web designer
Honestly no complaints! I know that's strange but I'm honestly having a really hard time thinking of any criticisms. Also pretty affordable for all that's included with your subscription
It's the online home for my small business. As a company of one, I'm glad it almost completely eliminates the need for an assistant to schedule client calls, do intake paperwork, etc.

It's pretty intuitive to use and easy to navigate. The templates look really good and make an it easy to keep a clean, professional appearance. Most of the controls are very intuitive and easy to follow.
It's way too easy to delete a live webpage. I can see how you could accidentally delete the wrong page and then have a lot of stress trying to recover what you've lost. Proceed with caution!
Maintaining and editing a professional webpage without coding or HTML abilities. Websites are essential for modern business but not everyone has the knowledge to build one from scratch or can afford to pay someone for every little update. Their tools make it easy to maintain and even make changes like adding pages.
I like how simple it is to make a beautiful website. The layouts, blocks, and more make everything look good, and it's so easy to use.
You can't completely customize things. It does make it easier that that isn't an option, but sometimes it would be nice to be able to override that and have more options.
Website creation, search engine optimization, and optimizing metadata for our website.
