February 23, 2026 5.0 Overall, I've had a very positive experience with Squarespace! I haven't had to use customer service, but from everything else I've seen, I think it would be easy to navigate. Pros Squarespace is very user friendly, especially compared to a few of the other website building services that I have tried to use in the past. Everything is nice and neat, and you can use premade blocks or make your own. Cons I really don't have anything negative to say about Squarespace. It meets my needs for what I need it to do! Switched from [Bluehost](https://www.capterra.com/p/229168/Bluehost/) Bluehost was not user friendly for me and I really struggled with updating my website. Review Source TH Trisha H. owner Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Overall a good option" April 2, 2026 4.0 I do really like the company and many of the options that are available to build websites and use many different tools within the site. Pros The Customization was great. It is very convenient to use the analysis tools and monitor the metrics of the page. Cons I found it clunky to build even with templates available. I did not like how difficult it was change menues. Alternatives considered [Shopify](https://www.capterra.com/p/83891/Shopify/) Reason for choosing Squarespace Shopify is not very convenient for customizing they design like I wanted.

CEO Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not worth the money, but technically does the job." February 19, 2026 2.0 Never returning, but it's not a uniquely horrible product. I could use it, but I would rather put my money into tools that offer more rather than just charging more. Pros I liked the high amount of templates. You really can just put your images and copy into most of them and end up with a beautiful website. It had decent SEO features. Somewhat easy to navigate and use. Cons It is not in any way worth the cost. They charge more for nearly every aspect of service from payments to web hosting to domains. Customer support is kind, but lacking. The user interface is buggy and often extremely confusing. I also constantly encountered bugs on my site. Review Source Tracie B. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product, price is becoming a barrier " February 13, 2026 5.0 Good! The platform is easy to use and set up for any website owner. The Squarespace team has a lot of different tutorials as well. The price point is starting to be the biggest pain factor for myself as a small business owner. Pros It is very user friendly for people who have limited-no experience with website design. I love the ability to integrate third party apps. Cons The cost keeps rising for the same features. The value of the items for the price they charge is starting to become a problem for me as a small business owner.

" April 7, 2026 5.0 Pros It makes building websites simple and very customizable. I love being able to drag and drop elements, and adjusting for mobile is also intuitive. It's easy to show my portfolio, my art shop, invoice clients and take payments. Cons there are a few limitations to animation options. It can also get expensive for people who are still starting out. Switched from [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) It was complicated to customize. Some themes are hard to work with. Review Source FD Fran D. Clinical Psychotherapist and Director Mental Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Website with a purpose " March 26, 2026 4.0 Overall it has been good. Once I got the hang of it, I was able to knock out a website. Now adding things or adjusting is not so scary Pros The website that we built is very nice and finally at a place we feel we want it. it did take us a bit of time. Cons At first it was overwhelming, not having background in website development I became frustrated and it took me a while to get it done. I was finally able to do it.

Although there's cheaper alternatives I think this is a very sensible and logical option. Pros Squarespace is very user friendly and easy to use. I really like the various templates, designs, and choices offered. Cons Squarespace has limited abilities to customize certain aspects in the website design process. Also, for anything extensive or complex this is probably not the best choice when creating a website. Review Source ALEXANDER G.

Owner Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great All-in-One Platform for Event Management" October 20, 2025 4.0 Overall, Squarespace made it easy to manage my small business and host creative events for kids. It allowed me to display past and upcoming workshops, accept payments, and keep in touch with customers. It’s reliable, visually appealing, and ideal for business owners who want to handle everything themselves. Pros I liked how easy it was to build a clean, professional website without needing technical skills. The event sales page features worked smoothly, and I loved being able to list upcoming art and craft sessions, sell tickets, and keep everything organized in one place. The templates were simple to customize for my business style. Cons I wish there were more flexible options for event ticket reporting and email confirmations. Customer support was very helpful, but the live chat wait times could be shorter. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/)[Shopify](https://www.capterra.com/p/83891/Shopify/) Reason for choosing Squarespace Wix had flexible design options but felt less streamlined for managing event ticket sales. Shopify was great for products, but it seemed more focused on retail than event-based businesses. Squarespace offered the best balance of design, simplicity, and event management tools for what I needed. Review Source JA Johnson A. Creative Director Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Squarespace in the Right Hands of Creative Director " August 31, 2025 5.0 Pros I use Squarespace in more than four companies where I currently work.

Cons Since 2018 when I started using Squarespace, I have never encountered an issue or bug that lasted for more than 24 hours without being resolved.

Some more advanced wishes not possible with the given templates but overall it’s great Pros I like how great my website looks. I have so many compliments and it was relatively easy to figure out myself. Cons It’s somewhat complicated when you need to do more advanced features.

Owner Veterinary Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Website Software for Non-Coders" December 18, 2025 5.0 I love Squarespace. I manage many websites for my own businesses, for family, and for clients. Hands-down it’s the best website for someone who doesn’t know or doesn’t want to learn coding. Pros Squarespace is an easy to use all-in-one platform. It produces clean, fresh websites with a few clicks. There are numerous ways to go deeper for fine tuning a website. I find it easy to show clients how to end up managing their own website. Cons The templates are great, but they are limited. Some of the individuals modules aren’t as strong as I’d like. The ‘Menu’ module for restaurants or pricing is complex. It doesn’t allow much variability in use.

It functions as you think it would function. The quality of the templates outpaces Wix. Review Source SK Susan K. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great product for easy and quick website launch." June 9, 2025 5.0 Overall, we had a very pleasant experience with Squarespace, especially with the Acuity scheduler integration. The only two reasons we switched to a different platform for hosting our site was because a web designer friend of mine asked to help us with our website so we could work on creating some paywall aspects and other multimedia offerings. The other reason was because we no longer needed Acuity because our clinic upgraded to a full-feature EHR program to do notes, scheduling, and payment. Pros It was very helpful to have templates to design our website; without a specific designer, we were able to launch a full-functioning website within 1 day of starting. Cons I wish there were more options to change the font and sizes of text, there were only a few options to choose between headers, titles, etc. Switched from [Practice Fusion](https://www.capterra.com/p/266915/Practice-Fusion/) Practice fusion increased their price beyond what I thought the service/product was worth. Their notetaking and scheduling were very clunky and not user-friendly. Review Source CR Catriona R.

I have used their websites for almost 10 years now and find it works a lot better for me than a wordpress site. Pros We use squarespace for all our sites. The tools are intuitive, easy to use and allow us to update our sites easily and regularly. Cons The page upload speed is slow with messes a bit with our ability to access some google tools. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/)[WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) Reason for choosing Squarespace Pricing, ease of use, quality of sites, customer service Switched from [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) We need to update constantly. Information is our product, so needing a developer to make every change just wasnt practical. Our site also looked outdated very quickly. Review Source DRS Daniel R. S.
