I'm a huge fan of Squarespace. I use it as both a designer and and a personal user. Not only is it easy to build a website, it's extremely flexible. Many WordPress purists will disagree, but the level of customization is quite striking when you become well-versed in Custom CSS and engage with the Squarespace community. It's a platform I ca rely on and I love that it's constantly improving.
Blogging still has a long way to go, but I feel confident this will improve over time. Would also love to restore previous page edits.
I'm helping clients get powerful websites that are reaching the people they need. Despite what you hear about Squarespace's SEO functions, nearly all of my clients are ranking on the first page of Google. When you leverage the tools they have available, Squarespace delivers powerful websites that really make life easier.
This website provider has been the easiest to get to grips with, they offer a massive range of tools, to make your website look at it's best!
I sometimes have trouble wit alignment on different screen sizes i.e things will be placed 'off-centre' on a phone, compared to a computer screen.
How user-friendly the platform is, and there are all sorts of tutorial videos to help you out in different areas.
It’s ease of use unlike any other web builder out there!
I dislike the customer service. There are times I can’t get the help I need.
I have an easy to use web builder and I now no longer wonder if I can build a website.
The ease of Squarespace's interface is useful.
Nothing. Squarespace made obtaining my domain and designing my website very easy.
The benefit of Squarespace is the ease in which I am able to update my website to add new content. It is truly great.
It's so easy to use, highly customizable and gives you a professional and easy to update site
Built in integrations for payment processors and email lists are limited
It's the easiest, most beautiful, most professional looking site builder out there
I like that you can pick a template and then mold it to fit your needs. And its pretty self explanitory
It's a little pricey. But not terribly expensive
The benefit of having an easy formatted build your own website page.
We love that we can finish a clean design then hand it over to our client to manage after we're done.
We would love to have a bit more customization capabilities.
Our clients are small business owners, so they want a website that isn't going to continually cost them money to maintain.
I have been using Squarespace for my photography business's website for over 7 years and have always been impressed with the platform. I wanted to build a website from scratch, but I don't know how to code, so needed a platform which would allow me to craft something beautiful without much effort. I love how easy Squarespace was to set up and update, the amount of layouts on offer, and their phenomenal customer service.
I believe that Squarespace's SEO capabilities are somewhat limited and could improve upon. Other than that, I have not found anything that I dislike. Certain style customisations require custom code.
Squarespace helps me have a web presence which in turn helps me secure more bookings for my business.
The templates are very easy to adapt to fit your needs and the components are super-easy to edit. The pricing also feels like a good deal for all that you get — a beautiful website, plus with the commerce plan you can sell products and the support is fantastic. The Squarespace Commerce app is a GAME-CHANGER! It makes getting packages out the door + sending an alert to the customer really easy.
Nothing major, honestly. When building a page there isn't a way to see how it will appear on mobile, so it takes a little back and forth to get that right when they could have a mobile preview feature or something.
The main problem solved is a very professional website that I can build myself. The integrations with G Suite and Acuity also make the other aspects of your business — getting a professional email address, making appointments — a lot easier.
Squarespace is an amazing option for users to build their own website. I am not particularly tech-savvy and managed to design a really beautiful website for my small business. They have an easy to use platform with wonderful designs and graphics/photos. You also get a free two week trial, so can start building your site over that time.
I didn't dislike anything about Squarespace.
It has allowed me to have a simple yet informative website that I can refer people to when they would like to know more about my business. It also syncs easily with google domain and Calendly, which is super helpful for booking appointments.
