VP of Marketing Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "SquareSpace helps me on our website" June 14, 2023 4.0 SquareSpace has been extraordinary for storing a website and having a blog. Within internet commerce, it may possibly make use of certain refinements. It is surprisingly intuitive and compassionate, and anyone can use it. It eliminates the need to learn coding or possess a good sense of design. I won't say it's an uncomplicated surface, however, it's very likely to make you feel that way. Pros SquareSpace technical support is about the sovereign. The live chat conversation + the active email response make it again an experience of great sustenance. I love the simplicity with which it is possible to create a page with a dynamic structure, combining the different component possibilities, among them are integrations with social networks and photo galleries. The templates alone have saved a huge amount of time, energy and money, which is very intuitive and perfectly designed for someone who doesn't have a lot of design experience and doesn't know how to code. Cons For the program, we have a fairly large section of events and, from time to time, it contains more than thirty events. We have created a shortened version of the calendar below the calendar that will present the most important events in a more attractive way, as the calendar function is not very nice to look at. We would like to see more calendar display possibilities, plus the maximum limit of closing components to be displayed increased from 30 to untamable. Review Source CM Chris M. Marketing Consultant Writing and Editing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Proprietary Platform - Not Recommended" April 1, 2024 3.0 I only use it when a client has already bought it and doesn't want to move the site, and asks for my help. My preference is to immediately move their website onto WordPress, copy the content, reformat it and move on. Pros It's a good option for someone who has no to little expertise in building a website. For a one-person startup, it's cost effective. Cons Proprietary platforms are not something I recommend to any client. The lack of control, the ability to move your content elsewhere easily, the lack of a testbed, the inability to customize some of the code, the fact that you are bound by their terms of service rather than your own are just a few reasons I don't recommend it for anyone serious about building a business online. Alternatives considered [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) Reason for choosing Squarespace I didn't. Sometimes a client has bought Squarespace and I have to use it. But WordPress is a much better website builder and content management system. Not WordPress.com, which is similar to using Squarespace. Getting your own hosting and installing the free WordPress software is much better. Keep in mind, I built my first website in 1996. I've used a lot of platforms. Review Source AK Abhishek K. IT Infrastructure engineer Computer & Network Security Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Designing , Hosting and Managing platform for websites" August 26, 2024 5.0 Great tool which really helps to create , host and manage a website , easy to understand UI and features. Pros Easy admin side to create and manage website mailboxes , manage cPanel and create websites from custom templates. Cons It is more on the costlier side , customization is limited in the templates provided. Review Source Benjamin S. Photographer Photography Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A powerful website building solution" August 8, 2023 4.0 Squarespace has been a strong tool for my photography business. It's allowed me to easily create and update a portfolio website. While there are some customization limits I've been happy with Squarespace overall for years; Pros Squarespace offers great design templates, a user-friendly interface, and buit-in, reliable features. Gone are the days of dealing with plugins, updates and other headaches that come with some other tools. Cons I've run into some customization limitations, their update to the most current version was far from seamless, requiring customers to rebuild their sites rather than be upgradeable. There are cheaper options out there for sure as well. Alternatives considered [Webflow](https://www.capterra.com/p/136159/Webflow/) Reason for choosing Squarespace I like the end design of many webflow projects but it didn't seem as easy to build and manage on a day to day basis. Switched from [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) I was tired of dealing with template updates, hosting issues, plugins etc. Review Source CR Cameron R.

Owner and Designer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Best, Most Affordable Professional Website Builder Available" May 11, 2023 5.0 This platform is a no brainer in my opinion. For any small-medium sized businesses, you cannot find a better platform. Pros I love Squarespace's accessibility and flexibility. As a web designer, I have used Squarespace for a large number of websites for clients and I am pleased every single time. It is hard to find a better, more affordable, website builder that provides what Squarespace provides. Cons Some of the features require a higher level of subscription, which is a little more expensive, but that is a very small complaint. The other is more in depth as a designer myself: the process of inputting additional code for special touches is a little finicky, but once you learn how to it isn't a huge issue.

IT Product Manager Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Pretty decent tool, nevertheless there could have been a free plan" July 16, 2024 4.0 Pretty decent tool, nevertheless Squarespace should have offered a free plan for tiny individual users, who just started their influencer or content creator career for example Pros With Squarespace you can easily integrate third party apps and integrations Cons The fact that Squarespace does not offer any free plan for tiny individual users, who just started their influencer career for example Review Source MT Mike T. Delivery Driver Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Squarespace Review by Mike Tonga" December 9, 2022 5.0 Although there have been some cons towards Squarespace, my overall experience has been great. One of the best features of the software, is its price. Unlike other software programs that require loads of money to start off or to go premium, Squarespace provides a suitable price that all small businesses can manage. The websites that can be made from this software look great if made correctly and function as any website would. Pros One of the main things I liked about this was its user-friendly interface, which made it easier to make the website. Another would be the wide variety of templates offered. Cons The only disadvantage of this software is the lack of customizability given to the creator of the website. You can only customize the templates preset rows. Plus the fact that it cannot autosave, but will suggest you to manually save after changes. Switched from [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Although Squarespace is cheaper, the interface of Wix is just more comfortable. Main reason being that it allows you to make a website with its own AI technology, in which you just select which template you want and where you want your information to be. The support offered at Wix also greatly surpasses that of Squarespace. There are more resources to that are provided and help can be found easily on the app, with videos to help even more. I just feel like I can make more quality websites with Wix rather than Squarespace. Review Source Chukwumezie B. Web designer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Website development" February 20, 2024 4.0 Well, overall, I could say that my experience using squarespace has been satisfying. Pros Its intuitive and user-friendly interface, which allows for easy website creation and customization without requiring coding knowledge. Cons When a job require highly specific design or functionality, I sometimes get constrained by it's template-based approach. Switched from [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Was looking for an advance Web design software that could be more flexible. Review Source JEQ John Ericho Q.

A must-try for creatives out there! Pros Web design and customization that’s easy to navigate is one of my most liked feature about Squarespace. This gives an avenue for a creative like myself to put our own branding online. Love this! Cons I think what irks me about my usage of Squarespace is the expense of the subscription. But this gets compensated by the great service it offers. Definitely, still a win-win for creatives and Squarespace. Review Source Prince B. Facilities Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Streamlined Website Creation and Management for Modern Businesses and Creatives" May 10, 2023 5.0 Squarespace provides templates and customization options that make it easy for me to create personal websites or online portfolios to showcase my art. It offers a variety of design options, including layouts, galleries, and media integration, allowing you to present your content in an attractive and organized manner. Pros Squarespace excels at handling media content. You can showcase high-quality images, embed videos, and create stunning galleries to display your work or products. The platform ensures that media is displayed beautifully and optimized for different devices. It offers the tools and flexibility to design a visually appealing and functional website. Cons I feel that the options for creating custom navigation menus and structures could be expanded. i will like more flexibility in organizing and designing navigation menus to suit their specific website needs. Review Source RH Rolf H. CEO Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Sehr Nutzerunfreundlich" November 1, 2023 2.0 Für Webshops nicht zu empfehlen. Fokus liegt hauptsächlich auf Amerika. Viele Intergrationen fehlen und es gibt auch keine externen Anbindungen, so wie dies zum Beispiel bei Shopify der Fall ist. Ich kann Squarespace leider nicht wirklich empfehlen und für den Deutschen Markt nicht wirklich zu gebrauche. Pros Designtechnisch sicher gut. Jedoch sieht jedes Template gleich aus und man ist sehr eingeschränkt was Anpassungen anbelangt. Cons Es gibt mehr Nachteile als Vorteile. Der Kundensupport ist absolut nicht brauchbar.Datenschutz kann man mit Squarespace nicht umsetzten. So ist es unmöglich einen Kunden zu löschen. Review Source CB Christina B. Chair woman Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Squarespace isn’t so bad!" June 11, 2023 4.0 Pros What attracts me the most to square space is the ease of use, helpful customer service and the perk of it coming with google workspace. If you are a new organization and know that you’ll need more assistance with the platform at some point I’d choose Squarespace for the customer service experience alone. Cons My two cons with squarespace are that you cannot add the email campaign to your monthly payment option. When you’re a new organization on a budget being up-charged for critical services seems like a cash grab. Finally, no stock photo gallery. Obviously you can source and use the internet for stock photos but it would be easier to know that “cleared” images are available to you with your subscription. Review Source TB Tracy B. Strategic Marketing Advisor Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Trustworthy Website" March 19, 2024 4.0 Good intro to websites. Not fully capable in the multi-currency arena. Pros I like the easy of use of SquareSpace, and the thoughtfulness of their integrations. Having the eCommerce engine and a calendar integrated has made things very easy for me. Cons The thing I like least about SquareSpace is how locked down the templates are when it comes to currency. It has been very difficult for me to provide a clear currency experience as I have people who buy internationally and there is no where to add the currency to an invoice. Review Source MG Maria G. Creative Star and Founder Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My Love for all things Squarespace!" May 9, 2023 5.0 Incredible and stress free. Pros What I like most is it’s ease of use, new Fluid Engine and their stellar customer service. Cons At this point with the new Fluid Engine and new design features I cannot think of anything else I would want; however that doesn’t mean there aren’t always new features that can be added. What I do know is that Squarespace listens to their users and they have responded by adding incredible new features and functionality. They continue to provide the best quality and reliability for their customers and that’s what keeps me a Squarespace user. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Reason for choosing Squarespace Squarespace’s entire setup and onboarding is clean and simple and it works well for me. I’m able to follow all the steps and it is easy. Switched from [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) I was regularly (weekly) being attacked by hackers and my site would be locked. It just wasn’t worth the stress. Plus I did not like having to purchase extra this and that plug-ins for everything and just to keep my site safe. It was a waste of time, effort and money.

As a user who values both aesthetics and functionality, I found Squarespace to be an exceptional platform that caters to the needs of beginners and professionals alike, offering a seamless experience from start to finish. Cons While Squarespace is known for its user-friendly interface, there can still be a learning curve, particularly for users who are new to website building or design. Some features may require time to fully grasp, and users may need to invest time in learning the platform's intricacies. Review Source Victoria M.

They have different pricing plans that cater to different levels of users. Cons Squarespace is not as flexible as WordPress, and there are some design constraints on specific templates. This limits customization options for those who need more complex features.While Squarespace recently improved their blog feature, it is not as robust as WordPress.There are no third-party apps, plugins, or extensions available like you can get with some other website builders.

The customization options, while extensive, may not provide the same level of flexibility as coding a website from scratch. Users looking for highly intricate and complex designs may find the platform somewhat limiting. Additionally, some advanced functionalities may require third-party integrations or additional coding, which may not be suitable for users without technical expertise. Lastly, the pricing plans can be relatively higher compared to other website builders, which may be a drawback for budget-conscious individuals or small businesses. Review Source RR Rajarshi R.

Web Developer Management Consulting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "My Squarespace Review" March 1, 2023 5.0 Pros With the platform, I can create professional websites and online stores are made easier due to its user-friendly interface and range of customizable templates. With a range of features like built-in SEO tools, eCommerce integration, and analytics, I can easily make the most out of their online presence to grow their traffic and sales. Not to mention, the platform also offers top-notch customer service. I enjoy their 24/7 live chat, email support, and a detailed knowledge base for all your queries.

While the platform offers customization options, I may feel limited by the pre-designed templates and may struggle to make more advanced design changes without coding expertise.

Senior 2D Animator Animation Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I use Squarespace for my Portfolio Website" November 14, 2022 4.0 I started using Squarespace to create a dedicated portfolio website and blog for my work; something professional that I could include on a business card or show to potential clients/ employers. I had very little coding knowledge, which made Squarespace a lot more desirable than many of its competitors. I was able to make a website to my liking without too much pain or trouble. While certain aspects took more time to implement and I had to compromise on certain features (ex: I wanted the site in both French and English, but could only have one landing page), It was overall much simpler and better than the alternatives I could have gone with. Additionally, since I made the website and its content myself, I could also manage it myself. Pros It is easy to pick up and start customizing, even with limited coding abilities. The templates and add-ons are set up to bring your website to life. Cons For an individual using Squarespace to display a portfolio and not much more, it's rather expensive compared to its competitors. Switched from [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) Squarespace was a lot easier to pick up and required a lot less coding and management. Review Source Dallas S.

December 15, 2022 5.0 Pros With the easy to use website builder or the simple inventory management and the advanced analytics give me peace of mind and complete trust in Squarespace. I feel smarter and get a rush every time we log on the the website and see thousands of more visits! Cons There could have been a little bit more creative flexibility within the system itself; however, the entire platform played well and we were happy with the results.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director & Photographer Photography Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User of Squarespace for 9+ years - Loyal customer to a fantastic product" January 21, 2022 5.0 My overall experience has been outstanding. I will continue to use the product despite the cost. It is well worth the amount of visits I routinely get on the site where I know the viewers will have a smooth experiencing navigating the site. It just works! Pros When it comes down to it, I'm convinced that Squarespace is the BEST option for portfolio websites short of hiring a designer which would cost significantly more for something better quality than what Squarespace has to offer. Beyond that, it's easy to customize, is a beautiful frame for portfolio work that makes the work itself look better and ultimately gives me credibility as a professional since the site just looks so good. I've put quite a bit of work into building the site over the last 9 years and change the theme every 3-4 years or so which requires days of work to get right each time. In between larger redesigns, updating the site is so easy and I know what to expect. The customer service has been outstanding for 9 years. It's more expensive than the other options out there but I'm happy to pay for how the product bolsters my work and ease of using the product. The analytics also are a huge win in allowing me to see how the site in performing - and to be able to monitor this on the go within the app. Cons There are some limitations if you're very design focused like I am since the templates can only do what they were created to do which means that simple things like changing margins may not be as simple as you'd hope. There are lots of tools the "style editor" but sometimes it doesn't' cover all the bases. I've had to code things in when that was the case for things that I feel should be pretty easy to customize (like if I want an image full bleed but the template doesn't support it, you must code it in. This is only for a few select amount of customers who are detail-obsessed like I am. For the general user, the prebuilt templates are above and beyond what you'd hope for! Also, sometimes browsers have a hard time keeping up with the editor and it can freeze or crash. This has gotten massively better in the last 5 years and hope to see this continue to improve. All around, these are things I wish could be better but not complaining when there isn't anything comparable in the market for the look & functionality at a similar price point. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Reason for choosing Squarespace I love the model of paying for access to all that I need. The basic tier allows me every tool i need and no worries about ads or hosting on other sites. The time I save not needing to know how to host my site, manage my domain or jumping through hoops to make simple updates are worth it enough.
