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. Review Source Victoria M. Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Squarespace - A Web Design Game-Changer!"

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.

University Intern Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Discover the Power of Squarespace: Simplify Your Website Creation Process" May 23, 2023 5.0 During my internship in the pharmaceutical product development and research department at the University, I had the opportunity to utilize Squarespace for creating a website to showcase our research projects and findings. The platform's intuitive interface and pre-designed templates made it easy to create an attractive and functional website without the need for extensive coding. Squarespace's integrated blogging tools allowed us to share our research updates effectively, while the e-commerce features enabled us to sell educational materials related to our projects. The responsive design ensured that our website looked great on various devices, enhancing the user experience. Overall, Squarespace provided us with a user-friendly solution to showcase our research in a professional and visually appealing manner. Pros Squarespace offers numerous advantages for website creation. Its intuitive drag-and-drop interface allows users to effortlessly design and customize visually stunning websites without the need for coding knowledge. The platform provides a wide range of modern and responsive templates that adapt seamlessly to different devices, ensuring a consistent user experience. The built-in features, such as e-commerce capabilities, blogging tools, and SEO optimization, make it a comprehensive solution for businesses and individuals. Squarespace also provides reliable hosting, security, and customer support, ensuring a hassle-free website management experience. Overall, Squarespace empowers users to create professional and visually appealing websites with ease Cons While Squarespace offers many benefits, it does have a few limitations. 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.

The simple and easy to use drag and drop feature lets us design wonderful websites in matter of minutes. Pros Squarespace lets us choose templates and use and customize it according to our needs. We do not have to write HTML or CSS for designing our website. We can simply use the drag and drop feature to use this. Cons The paid versions are little bit costly and sometimes the design preview feature doesn't work properly.

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. Cons I am unsatisfied with Squarespace as the design options are limited and I have to work within the boundaries of the provided templates. 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. Another issue I have is the limited integrations with third-party apps, which can make it challenging to integrate with some of their preferred tools.

May 30, 2024 5.0 Pros very easy to setup and maintain, decent templates and nothing complicated Cons Although the price are very affordable there is not a free version. Review Source Shirley W.

Additionally, there are tons of free templates available that look great and super professional right out of the box if you're not in a creative mood or don't have much time to work on setting up your site/store/portfolio but still want something good looking going live quickly. Cons Squarespace is great for small and large businesses alike. They give you a host of free tools that allow you to create an amazing website or online store. What I loved about Squarespace was how easy it was to create my own web design, their advanced SEO features, and most importantly, their customer service has been top-notch!

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. Marketing Agency Partner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Squarespace is the perfect eCommerce place!" 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. Switched from [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Refreshed look and better templates. 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. Review Source DT Darren T. YouTuber Broadcast Media Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "For simple website design and amangement look no further." June 3, 2023 4.0 I think squarespace is great. For a non technical user what this provides me with is a very simple and quick way of developing and managing an attractive website with all the functionality needed. Pros Squarespace makes designing and managing your website simple. Making edits, implementing redesigns are quick and easy to complete. This was the main reason we switched as we wanted anybody to be able to manage the website with no need for technical web skills. Cons Sometimes the way things work are not intuitive, they remain easy, but initially the way to achieve something is not always obvious. Additionally Squarespace in my opinion is not designed for high end, high functionality websites so for some the service may be limited.

With Squarespace I can build a skeleton in few seconds. Add the content and changes the design in the backend and simply push the content to my email subcribers easily. Pros Easy to create a website within seconds. Change the templates and design with few clicks. Email management to gather subscribers for 2x conversion. Content management done easily between creators and managers. Best CMS to work on limited sites. Cons Navigation options are difficult to move. Cost for small bloggers is little high. Platform has fierce competition Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Marketing Coordinator Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "SquareSpace: Web Design for Non Web-Designers" December 6, 2022 4.0 SquareSpace is a balance of ease of use and feature availability. Many more advanced web design programs and services would allow for greater customization, which in turn allow for better control over things like site speed and style - but also are much harder to use. For a beginner, or a company that cannot hire a dedicated webmaster, SquareSpace is an excellent platform to host and design a website. Pros SquareSpace is designed with user friendliness and ease of access in mind. It is extremely easy to pick up and use, and it is entirely possible to create a custom, professionally built website, within your first hour of picking it up. Its newest version has a drag and drop feature that dramatically improves on the old version, using a grid to position elements. This is hands-down the easiest way to design a site, and the reason that my company uses SquareSpace. Cons SquareSpace is difficult to optimize for speed, which has been a consistent problem for our site. While there are ways to improve it, we are not able to speed it up to the point we would like. It's important to note that our site is not slow, it is just not as fast as other sites we see. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Reason for choosing Squarespace Cost, ease of use, and availability of customer support. Review Source FV Fabian V.

July 25, 2022 5.0 We find Squarespace as a web builder to be just great, regardless of your skill level or the type of website you want to create. Focusing especially on designs and their very effective versatility, which you can check on your own when you buy it. Pros The Squarespace tool offers a wide selection of exquisitely designed templates that span a diverse spectrum of styles and industries. drawing the attention of the client or viewer instantly, producing a positive effect on your website. Another of its advantages is that its templates can be adapted to devices such as tablets and mobile phones, without having to create versions to use smart devices. Another particularity is that it allows you a 14-day trial period, so that you can decide in this period of time if it is convenient or not to acquire it. Cons Perhaps a disadvantage could be that it does not have the manual editor function for mobile devices. Review Source EL Eddie L. Co-Founder E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best in class product by far for several years now" June 25, 2021 5.0 I teach classes on digital marketing and entrepreneurship and ask my students to build a website without coding within a week that looks professional and generate sales from their website. SquareSpace has always helped them build a best in class product. The website we have built quickly to get our companies started have resonated well with investors and everyone always compliments the look and feel of our sites. Pros I have used SquareSpace for over 5 years now, using the platform to build a minimum viable product before scaling to custom built websites, to putting up new websites that look extremely professional very quickly. Everyone who looks at the websites are impressed with how they look, not knowing it only took a few minutes to build. They continue to add functionality over the years. They have a great dedication to customer service as well that responds quickly. Cons Moving some objects around was not always as intuitive as I thought they could be. If there are a tremendous amounts of data on a screen it may be slower to edit than it always was. Very minor bugs discovered on rare occasions. Just nitpicking, wonderful product. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/)[WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) Reason for choosing Squarespace More unique default templates, better looking templates, more robust features. Build it Beautiful was there slogan and has always lived true to that. Switched from [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/)[WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) Wix did not adapt to mobile well and just always seems behind the curve, they had several bugs as well and did not render well on mobile. Everybody knows every WordPress template so they can recognize it's not a customize website. WordPress is also easy for anyone to hack, even for those who do not know how to code at all. Review Source AC Alexis C. eCommerce Manager Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not the best " July 31, 2022 4.0 Overall I do not recommend. I changed to Shopify because it’s easy to use. Also I find their customer service friendly and helpful. Pros I liked that they had a variety of website layouts and a lot of ways to customize your website. But I did find it overwhelming to a point. When there’s too much information it gets muddled without clear instructions to complete the processes. Cons Where do I start? I don’t like how clunky going into each section is. The interface is not user friendly and jumbled. It takes way too long to set up everything. Even uploading each item is a tedious process and cryptic. The user manual videos are not helpful and I had to hire an expert to help me.

Founder and Arts Chaplain Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Squarespace remains my top choice, but just barely. " September 7, 2018 5.0 I used to build my own sites - first manually then through Wordpress. I used to have a lot of security issues. Multiple hacks and breaches. Lost sites and downtime. I haven't lost a wink of sleep over a website since I signed up for Squarespace. For me, that's worth the money I pay. The software is beautiful, slick and simple (once you understand it - it's a bit quirky). But the cost keeps rising while other, cheaper options keep getting better. I still love Squarespace, but it's increasingly tough to recommend based on price. Pros Squarespace is easy to set up (a site can be completed in an hour or less if you have all the info you need ready to go). Once a site is live, it rarely has any issues, becomes visible on Google fairly quickly, and there are no security worries to deal with as everything is hosted on THEIR servers, not mine. The templates are the best in the business and it's difficult to make a Squarespace site look ugly. Not impossible of course, but tough :) Drag and drop interface is great and integrations abound. Cons Squarespace has become increasingly expensive, moving more and more features to higher and higher tiers. Their e-commerce options are great for a simple store with few product options, but you cannot change the image of a product when a customer selects a variation of that product - like a different colour of shift, for example. This was a deal-breaker on a recent project and drove us toward Shopify. Wix sites used to look terrible. They can now look pretty good (again, mileage may vary with templates and design skills). Bandzoogle has more features for bands at a better price point. Weebly has great design options. All claim easy drag and drop interfaces. All offer cheaper options than Squarespace for a similar feature set. Squarespace domains are free for the first year only. Then, thye cost more than many other options. I found that one out the hard way. Review Source AN Atharva N. Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Squarespace: Best and fast website builder" August 8, 2022 3.0 If you are a beginner and want to build a website as quickly as possible without any prior knowledge, then you can go with Squarespace. But, if you are willing to invest some time to learn about website development, then nothing is better than WordPress. Pros Squarespace is a good option for beginners who want to build a website without any prior web development knowledge. They provides lots templates to design the website, which are mobile-friendly. First you need to select one among 100+ templates and start buliding your website with it's easy website builder. You can easy sell products in Squarespace and track product orders from the dashboard. It also has a Financial dashboard to track earnings. And ff you have any concerns about using Squarespace, you can contact customer service at any time. Cons Squarespace sites are not good in search engine optimization, making it difficult to rank them on the first page of Google. Limited software and service can be integrated with Squarespace. It is also quite tough to migrate from Squarespace to another website development platform. Switched from [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) WordPress has tons of plugins for different purposes. It is the best platform for blogging and the options for action in Wordpress are almost endless. Review Source Liza S. Freelancer/Web Designer Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for Freelance Web Designers!" August 6, 2022 5.0 Making bold and impactful websites is incredibly achievable through Squarespace. Squarespace in general feels uncluttered, approachable, and non-intimidating to use. I also appreciate how Squarespace includes the fundamental tools of a business. However, this may be too basic if you need a more robust system. Many integrations can help with more functionality but may come at an additional cost, may not match the branding of your website, and too many extensions can be overwhelming to keep track of. Pros As a designer and developer, I enjoy designing on Squarespace because of its minimalistic and simple aesthetic. The menu is easy to navigate, and the editor is intuitive. Their new fluid editor update makes it easier than ever to create unique designs. It's fun to play and experiment with code blocks using the custom code feature. I like how CSS changes are live as you're typing. Squarespace also has a great community in its forums. The forum has many people who are always willing to help with anything. Client handoff is especially easy. After the design is finished, the client can manage and update their website without needing web development experience. Cons Because of how simple and basic Squarespace is, some features can be limiting. Email Marketing might be the biggest drawback. The extra cost for email marketing is not worth it compared to other platforms that offer most of the features for free. Selling digital products also has limited options. Third-party plugins and extensions can help with extra functionality, but too many can be overwhelming. Custom designing can be challenging because you need extra tools and willpower to target certain elements. Switched from [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/)[WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/)[Weebly](https://www.capterra.com/p/246168/Weebly/) Squarespace is easy for clients to update and use, has all the necessities for an online business, and you can make custom coding in trial mode. Review Source Anna K. Head of Communications Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Beautiful websites!" August 5, 2022 5.0 Pros Before switching from Wordpress to something more contemporary, I thoroughly researched the offerings, and a lot of website-building platforms seemed to have little difference between them. But I trialed most of market leaders every since, and I can surely say, squarespace websites are the prettiest. For businesses that rely heavily on the visual element of their marketing, that is super important. And the recent update (the possibility to overlap blocks and place them anywhere on the grid, regardless of the page structure) is an absolute game-changer, and I am totally in love. Cons The only thing that I am not entirely satisfied is how Squarespace approaches multi-language websites - I had to turn to a third-party plugin. It is not a deal breaker for me, but it was just strange not to offer this in the first place. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Review Source Abby B.

I usually work in WordPress and build relatively custom websites. I found it easy to pick up where things were and how things worked. Their tutorials were outstanding! When I had issues, I hopped on the Chat and got help right away. I've worked in the old Squarespace and the new one. The new one really fixed a lot of the issues I had with the old one, but I hope they continue to listen to feedback and improve. Pros While the options are limited, they're limited in a good way. There are sufficient options for any person to choose whatever layouts they need for their content, but not so many options that it makes things overwhelming (Wix). Cons The switch from "old" to "new" Squarespace was not handled well by the company. While you weren't forced to move, they didn't make it very easy. I also don't like that there's not a Media Library. Reason for choosing Squarespace I've worked in the W's. Weebly is way too limited and very difficult to work with. Wix is great but has way too much "personal freedom" for the average person. Squarespace is a nice happy medium. The price is super reasonable. You can even do E-Commerce and it's pretty easy to set up too. Review Source AW Adam W.

The versatility Squarespace offers beats the competition. I have. used Squarespace for Airbnb locations, boat rentals, laser cutting and more. Pros Squarespace makes deploying your web presence super easy while also looking professional. I love the versatility Squarespace provides. You can customize so many aspects of your workflow, marketing, customer interactions, orders and more. It is robust enough to grow with you as you grow your business. Cons You most definitely need to upgrade to a business account to really leverage the functionality Squarespace offers. The basic service is not much more than a static 1 page site.

If the e-commerce features are more competitive, it would be a perfect website builder! Pros Squarespace is amazing for putting together an attractive, professional website in no time. Having used various website builders over the years, I'd say Squarespace is the most beginner-friendly. The website templates are beautiful and very easy to edit - no coding or design skills required! Because of Squarespace's extensive customisable design elements, it is best for portfolio websites - where stylish layout is important and you don't need advanced e-commerce features. And being one of the most established website builder platforms around, you can also trust that your website will be secure. Cons Squarespace isn't so great in terms of e-commerce integration. For example, it lacks the infrastructure to create useful shipping options (e.g. free delivery over £50), which should be an essential e-commerce feature. If you're looking to build an online store, I wouldn't recommend Squarespace.

Review Source TC Tessa C. Tattoo Artist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Makes web building simple" March 19, 2023 3.0 Using Squarespace has overall been pleasant. While there are difficulties editing websites on mobile devices, most features are still functional. Squarespace helps me stay on brand. Pros Anyone with any level of skill or knowledge can make a website with Squarespace. The features are easy to use, branding is fully customizable, and possibilities are practically limitless. Editing is easily accessible as you can edit your website from anywhere on any device. Cons Squarespace is finicky and difficult to use on mobile platforms like smartphones and iPads. Squarespace also charges a monthly fee to keep your website up and running once the editing is done, and charges extra for certain features that are absolutely necessary depending on what kind of business you run. I’ve had fees increase on me without any notice in the past, as well. Review Source MS Michelle S.

May 24, 2022 5.0 Squarespace had allowed our company to put out a professional looking website at a fraction of the cost of hiring a website designer. The features are generally easy to use and intuitive, and changes and updates are easy. Pros I like Squarespace because of it's easy-to-use customizable templates. There are so many pre-designed templates to choose from- it will give you suggestions based on your industry or you can just browse the templates to find the design that suits you best. You don't have to be a website designer or know how to code, if you know how to type then you can use the templates with ease. No need to hire an expensive website developer- you can do it yourself and make it look just as good! It also gives you several features to integrate with social media platforms. You can accept payments through integrated payment platforms with ease. Cons The one feature that I wish the payment processed had is the ability for a customer to choose a payment price instead of having fixed price options. We bill our customers for services that have many different amounts, but unless you already pre-populated that payment amount in your page, the customer cannot pay through you website.
