Point, click, and you have a pro website - without needing to know code!
Sometimes the interface is counterintuitive, however the learning curve is low and it is easy to pick up.
Creating a customized personal marketing site.
Love that in less than a couple hours, I had a stunningly designed, professional website with a solid back end.
I LOVE the templates and pre-designed pages for the layouts, but sometimes the templates are difficult to customize to your brand elements.
Needed a beautiful site, without the budget to have anything custom designed. Squarespace fits that bill.
My favourite thing about Squarespace is the versatility - if you don't have a lot of coding experience, you can still create a basic website. However, if you have the knowledge, it still allows you to inject your own code so you can add some more advanced things to your website.
I completely understand why this is the case, but I would say that something I dislike is the support staff's rule that they never even try to help you with a problem if it remotely involves any code that you wrote yourself.
I have used Squarespace for the past three years to run my tutoring business. It has allowed me to showcase everything about my business as well as allow students to book with tutors right online!
I love the clean presentation provided by a loose display. The design details are well engineered for such low package rates.
The lack of coding on the user’s end for their site.
When referring your work to clientele or leads, it’s much more formal then Instagram and less serious than a domain made from scratch.
I have no experience in web design, and Squarespace has provided me with the opportunity to start my business with a sleek design that is ready to go, but also highly customizable.
There's nothing that I dislike about Squarespace. I am excited for the mailing list feature to roll out, however, but right now mailchimp is integrated and that is working great.
I love the ability to expand my customer base outside of ebay where fees are high and cutting into my profits.
I love the plug-in options. I don't have to fuss whether certain fonts look good with each other because it's already done for me.
I wish there was the option to customize fonts, sizes of text, moveable pictures (within cards, etc).
Simplifying how to get information across in a way that looks good
I have no background in website design, but I was able to create a decent portfolio site for my videography.
Sometimes, the settings can be hard to get to, but it's not a big problem.
I'm able to create a professional business website portfolio to show prospect clients.
Customer service chat, the ability to change things seamlessly
Chat hours for EST and having to logout fully to login as another user - I manage multiple accounts
Benefits are the statistics and ability to integrate new media material easily
SquareSpace can be as simple or complex as the user wants to make it. It has a very straight forward graphical interface for layout design, but powerful analytical tools and customization abilities.
There are limited options for creating password protected parts of the website. In short, each page can be password protected but there is no ability to "stay logged in" across multiple pages or have customized logins for users.
We use SquareSpace for our English and Spanish language websites, which has served as the primary point of contact for many of our clients.
Squarespace is a great site building platform that allows for creative and clean web design. It's really great for people like myself who don't have experience with the more difficult back end coding languages and just want to make a site that is visually appealing and makes information easily accessible for users. Really liked the ability to view how the site would look from mobile when editing, since most of the users would be viewing from that perspective.
Some of the themes can be limiting at times, not allowing for choice in the areas you might really want to change. It can be easy to over play some of the features and lose sight of how to focus your content. Had some occasional issues with broken links but nothing that weren't quickly solved.
Squarespace allowed me to publish content in ways that were accessible to users and easily sharable to social platforms. The ability to create a professional looking site that belongs in 2018 and not 2001 can really make a business shine against their competitors.
