Squarespace Reviews: 4.4/5 — Solid Choice

It's super easy to use. You do not have to have a lot of knowledge to start your website and get going. For example, I had a domain already, and I was able to link it to my Squarespace easily. If you don't have a domain they let you get one through them!

I wish there were more options for websites, like if creators of websites could easily give you a customized website, so you don't have to go through taking one everyone uses. Also, I wish some of the social media features uploaded more quickly; it's a tad bit slow, or sometimes it will pull up an older account from your last sync.

I love being able to have my blog but also have my socials and products I recommend. It's super easy to have an updated website when using Squarespace and the price is affordable as well!

I'm rating Squarespace a "10" because they are continuously rolling out new features for 7.1.

Sometimes Squarespace is buggy and you have to start your edits over if you do not save frequently.

I have 2 Squarespace websites that I have built for my organization. It is pretty easy to learn how to use out of the box.

Able to set up, design, modify, change on the fly, and develop a website that works for you. It is connected with Unsplash for a wide variety of images as well.

There is some limitation to font availability, and while most all the functions are user-friendly, I have had to contact tech support to figure out why some aspects were not functioning correctly.

I have developed a professional website that includes blogs, resource links, marketing, and product advertising in one easily expandable website.

Sites are all clean and so so easy to use.

Not much to dislike. You can go in and customize EVERYTHING. Love it

I have created sites for friends using squarespace. Its cheap and easy and fast and looks incredible!

How easy it is to create a nice looking, sleek, professional website

They have consistently taken on pricing increases

The ability to be my own designer and not pay someone each time i would like to make a change.

The thing I like best with Squarespace is how easy it is to use!

It doesn't have all the gadgets and gizmos that Wordpress has.

I use Squarespace to showcase my art portfolio!

Intuitive templates make it easy to add all sorts of functionality

Occassionally have to re-do something but I think that is user error as I become more familiar with the software

Making our website dynamic. We link our social feeds so there is always new information on the site

Squarespace has commerce availability (the price is slightly higher). The Commerce portion of Squarespace is easy to set up and you can add all sorts of variables (clothing sizes, color,etc.). You can create various page layouts that should suit most people and small businesses that don't want to go through the trouble of learning how to code. Other website services offer similar layouts, but Squarespace has a robust service that rarely has gone off line or had disruptions to its service.

Squarespace offers to create your own domain name when you sign up. If you already have a domain name, Squarespace offers plenty of ways to embed it as your page name (ie: www.mybusiness.com), but it often isn't as easy as the step by step instructions offered through Squarespaces' troubleshooting pages. Be aware of that as its impact on your website's visibility could be a problem.

While social media sites like Facebook, Tic Toc, Instagram and Twitter are popular resources for most bands and musicians, it should not be the primary method of promoting your music. The next popular social media platform might not be the ideal way to promote your music, tour dates and merchandise. Squarespace helps bands have a web presence without the trappings of social media. You can link to the popular social media through Squarespace, but in a format that promotes your art or music exclusively. I have been able to assist a band with over 12 albums in their catalog using Squarespaces' commerce and flexibility to create a place for fans to discover more than the latest music from their favorite band.

I like the user-friendliness of it. Has made it easy to set up and have someone who is not as tech savvy update things if needed.

I dont love that there isnt an option for invoicing. There is a store but wish there was an invoicing option where people can sign in and pay.

Used to create a couple website for clients. It has made an easy transition for them being able to take over their website.

To me, these look no different from websites that companies paid ten times the price for. Very classy looking layouts and graphics. Very user-friendly and quick to make a webpage.

Some features were not as customizable as I'd have liked them to be, but for the price you really couldn't expect much more.

Helping small businesses to become more transparent and market themselves better.

Squarespace is so user friendly, easy to learn, completely customizable, and has more features than you could ever need on a website.

Honestly nothing. It's an amazing platform.

I work for a marketing firm that provides website templates to clients that are all built on Squarespace. Even if clients have never used Squarespace before, it is simple and straightforward to learn as they go.

We liked being able to manipulate and create the web pages on our end without having to hire a custom coder. This feature was super helpful for quick changes in copy, content, or holiday season!

Squarespace wouldn't support integration with many apps we needed to add to our store for our business to run smoothly. The embed code widget did not correctly showcase our media.

With Squarespace, we can sell our product direct to consumers, as well as in chain stores.

I love SquareSpace's interface. I chose SquareSpace because I was able to construct my website in about half the time that I could with other platforms I had previously interacted with.

The cost is a little steep, but at the same time definitely worth it. I'd highly recommend.

Designing, managing, and all other interacting with my website.

Squarespace has a drag and drop feature that makes web design easy peasy. But in order to make a good website, you should know the basics like information architecture, headings, photo labeling. Otherwise, Google won't be able to fully understand your site, and this will impact your positioning on search. Squarespace also offers a few plans for beginners, businesses, and e-commerce. I suggest that if you're not an expert and you're getting proof of concept in your business (and won't be able to hire one at the moment), start with the beginner plan, create your site and improve it as you go. When you think you have a solid foundation then switch to business because then you can add SEO features. this way, you still have a website to show to your clients but won't be charged too much at the beginning when you're still figuring out how to create the user navigation etc. Business and e-commerce have fantastic integrations like acuity for scheduling.

Sometimes it can be difficult to change the default design for each element (like padding) without going into code (only business and eCommerce plans can change code). But other than that, I think this tool is great! very easy to navigate.

I created 2 websites using Squarespace: - my personal brand (beginners plan) - my interior design studio (switching from beginners to e-commerce) These are very different business but still require an online presence. For both of them I need to schedule meetings, display my work and create content for marketing purposes. I realize that with the website templates available (that for the record the templates are beautiful), my job gets way easier because I just replace elements. Squarespace works with may tools but I find these particular two very useful: - a bank image: unsplash - a color palette generator: coolors.com so if you're uncertain of how to select a color palette for your site, what you can do is: 1. Go to unsplash to find a photo that represents what your business is about 2. Then go to Coolors and use that photo to generate that same color palette.

What I like best about Squarespace is I can create a seamless website and attention-getting.

I do like how I can't add my layout. I have to use the structures that Squarespace provides.

I can get more views on Squarespace and add keywords to get more exposure from search engines.

Squarespace is user-friendly and self-explanatory. For someone who is new to website building, I was able to create a website that I exactly imagined.

I don't like that you cannot drag items around on the website builder. If you could add a text box or move a textbox without having to add a whole new page and change the layout, it would be beneficial.

Easier access to fitness advice. I am able to reach a larger audience.

Squarespace is easy to use and intuitive to work with

Lacking a good multi language approach from out of box. but there are 3:rd party add ons for this such as Weglot for example.

Simplicity in creating a professional website, with very little knowledge or time spent. When it's not your core business, you just need something simple and quick to administrate.

I liked how they gave an array of different templates, but they can all be customized to best fit whatever site you're looking to have. I like that Squarespace has capabilities to intergate with several other systems. I also really like how easy it is to host and claim a domain!

I wish there were more options for templates for photography hosting, something that gave a little more dynamic interest.

I have solved the problem of getting my photography work in front of potential clients. I have also realized how easy it is to refresh content when nescessay.

The speed at which I can create a website without involving any complex domain, email, or analytics setups is impressive. I highly recommend this to photographers and people that have highly visual products. I was able to setup a website with beautiful images and content in less than a day (including domain setup).

It requires a business plan to get powerful features such as custom code. As a software developer, this is quite restrictive. It would be nice to add custom module such as an event date countdown timer. This case is very essential because the number of plugins and addons are limited. This will be a deal breaker for many power-users and is not fit for purpose if you intend on adding more features other than what a CMS would already feature.

I use this for my personal and my wedding website. The development was able to be done quickly using the lovely templates that they provide. I don't have to worry about the look across different form-factors of devices. The benefits were immediately verifiable by having my friends and family verify the website. The development just became more about writing good content and providing relevant supporting pictures. The content development was made even more accessible with the additional free stock image gallery that is a part of the system. Squarespace allows you to focus on what matters, and that is the content and target audience. Bundled with easy-to-understand analytics, you could quickly assess the performance of the website.

It's a simple and easy to use system. Type and go. It really does take the guesswork out of web design. I was able to create three sites for various non-profits. The support that they give is quick and comprensive.

The cost, it is expensive. I wish they had a non-profit option.You can't do exactly what you want, but there are HTML options to get around these.

It takes the coding out of web design, and lets you focus on text and images and design. It has turned me into a web designer, without being a coder. You can get a website up in 10 minutes.

I love how easy it is to use! I literally went into owning a business with no knowledge of how to build a website. Squarespace made it SO easy!

I don't feel like there are enough add-ons and extra apps for Squarespace when it comes to e-commerce. There are certain things that don't connect that I wish would.

Squarespace is allowing me to have the website I need to keep my dog treat business up and running!

I love the cleanliness of the templates and the variety they offer. Squarespace is so user-friendly you have to wonder why anyone would choose a different hosting platform once you've tried this. I love being able to get my domain through them as well. And now, they've added some basic motion options which take a good sight and make it great with just a few clicks.

Squarespace is missing a lot of font options, there are many, but too often, I can't find the ones that I'm looking for and have to comb through and settle for something similar. I wish the domains were a little bit cheaper. I do wish it were easier to do custom things or have the option to hire someone through Squarespace for small coding projects. I wish they offered coding classes or tutoring, actually.

I'm able to run my businesses through Squarespace. And I'm able to easily help others get their sites started because it was so easy for me.

The best thing about Squarespace is the ability to create a website populated with products that are ready to sell. I am in process of launching a new business and so far, it has been so easy to use!

There are no downsides to using Squarespace. It took me less than an hour to get set-up.

I personally don't have the time to build a website and manage sales both offline and on-line. Squarespace integrates this seamlessly. I can focus on selling product. I also love the reports, it will make my life easier during tax season.

I like how easy it is to use and the GSuite integration.

I did not find it the best solution for starting an e-commerce business.

We are able to publish our monthly blogs and update our portfolio very easily with Squarespace.

It's a great place to design your own website.

There is nothing that I dislike about Squarespace

Was an easy way to design our own website, saving money rather than having to higher someone else to create it for us. We were able to bring our own vision to life and have the freedom to easily update whenever we need to add or alter content.

Squarespace Is The Best Content Management System - better than Wordpress, Wix, Weebly, etc. The design is like Apple created it. It's a CMS I can hand off to clients once the website project is over. Squarespace's scalability is as deep as you want it to be. By far, Squarespace is the best CMS for non-tech types that will blog for SEO purposes and businesses that need Lead Generation. Don't let Wordpress developers tell you that the SEO capabilities are not as robust as Wordpress. Squarespace can handle all the SEO and developer needs.

Squarespace has e-commerce abilities, but not the greatest for a store that has a lot of products and/or variants.

The problems I'm solving is for clients not getting gouged by website developers, website designers that charge way too much for a Wordpress website where plugins can actually cancel a Wordpress website out.

So easy to use, drag and drop, very straightforward

Squarespace is on the expensive side vs. some of their competition.

Easy way to quickly get a website for a business

Love several templates options to built my website. I can switch templates to keep my site fresh and I’m able to display video and audio files as well

Unable to share client galleries with basic version

Able to create easy websites with tons of templates for video or still images

I like that the site always has video tutorials to guide you in creating your best website. The videos help you arrange the layout of the website to suit your needs. I am able to use three different styles of od text on my website. Additionally, there are great quality design themes for your layout. You can manage and easily access all your domains and can easily switch from domains from one to another. The service is inexpensive for the domain and monthly service. You can see how your website is doing through its analytics. You can see which pages and content get more content.

I haven't had any issues with square space. Their customer service is excellent.

I am realizing the times of when to post my blogs and what content is more engaging with my audience.

Very user-friendly and easy to customize! No need to mess with difficult code on every customization.

I wish it were easier to resize photos in blog posts.

Professional blogging platform for paid posts. This helps me make more money as a professional writer.
