While a Squarespace user will encounter the limitations that come with being such a user-friendly platform, it's almost always worth it to build through Squarespace. Pros I've made or contributed to at least a dozen sites through Squarespace & I can confidently recommend it to anyone. The ease of use is really incredible, and it's so easy as a designer (mainly graphic design, not much coding experience) to create a beautiful website and then hand it off to my client to maintain. Cons While Squarespace is ALWAYS improving their software, I have had to deal with some extreme glitches on their end. There have been instances where hundreds of Squarespace-built sites will not function properly. They generally remedy this within an hour, and it's only happened sporadically once every 1 or 2 years.

I'm seriously so tech incompetent that it didn't seem worth the hassle. I am so glad I tried out Squarespace. They make everything fool proof and simplified. Pros I love how easy this program is to use. I found out about this from a podcast and and I'm so glad I gave it a shot. I don't know anything about website building. This is perfect for anyone to use. No tech skills required! Cons I have no complaints so far after a year of use. Review Source MM Mark M. Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Lacking some features but very easy to use and powerful" May 1, 2023 5.0 A good basic package with decent features for the money you spend. Pros It’s affordable and you get plenty of bang for your buck. A reasonable amount of features but does not have a lot of the advanced functionality. Cons Lack of customisation on some of the features. Reason for choosing Squarespace Cost and ease of use.

Accounting and HR Manager Automotive Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Not for me and the three other people I worked with trying to utilize " November 2, 2023 3.0 We couldn’t get things to line up so that everyone sees the same thing. ,We had overlapping appointments , and so much confusion. We ended up asking Athena to make a template simile to the one already used for the Vascular side of the office and that was that. Pros It is well known and looks good from the customers POV Cons I have worked with many programs and sites over the years. I don’t know why I am finding this one so difficult to navigate and it wasn’t only me but the three others that were working with me to develop the site for a high end spa in N Seattle. Alternatives considered [athenaOne](https://www.capterra.com/p/98735/athenaOne/) Reason for choosing Squarespace It looked more user friendly and provided customer interaction too. But we needed up going with Athena and just having a site for customers to interact. Basic with sales and emails. Not appointments and notes. Etc. Review Source Federico A. CFO Banking Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Great solution for a Small / Medium Business" March 1, 2023 4.0 We are currently working on updating our web page to add some e-commerce features, this solution proves to be great, easy and we are loving the results so far. Pros If you are not a programmer and need to launch a web site or an e-commerce this is a great solution, the design is very user oriented, easy to follow, clear, and have some powerful back-end tools. The UX have some artistic, beautiful and professional templates. Cons One issue we had is that they only offer a 14 day trial. On the other hand if they would increase the number of their templates, and settings, it would be much better. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/)[Weebly](https://www.capterra.com/p/246168/Weebly/) Reason for choosing Squarespace We did the cost-benefit analysis and Squarespace was the best. Switched from [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) We needed a tool that not only offers features but a nice professional UX. Review Source Saeko O. Market Researcher Market Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It is an ideal tool for website creation " August 30, 2022 4.0 It is a tool that allows you to create content for business websites in a simple way, it allows you to add images to personalize the sites without major complications, it is adaptable to any company that wants to create a website in a simple way and for professionals in charge of these sites, is an excellent manager Pros I like this tool because, in particular, it is quite good because it allows the creation of quite complete and fast creation websites, it has many templates so that content management is much more efficient and fast, the interface of this tool is fast and guarantees that the adaptability will be complete and without inconveniences Cons It is not a difficult tool to understand, and from registration to management, it is a reliable and fast way to create websites Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Creative Director Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Website Builder for Designers Who Hate To Code" June 28, 2022 5.0 Pros The best feature about Squarespace is that all of the templates are actually one template that you customize. Once you understand how the template works. you can create unique designs for every client that have consistent branding throughout the entire site. Cons Some of the stacking and snapping could be loosened up to allow a bit more freeform design. I do believe this is being addressed in the new update. Review Source SJ Sammy J. Director Motion Pictures and Film Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My space, Your square!!" August 7, 2023 5.0 Square space has been beneficial as a content creator and a video editor.. being able to deliver work to client in a professional way.. gives me an edge Pros Building a portfolio, As a creative, you need to have an easy access to your creative work.. building a portfolio comes handy Cons So far, so good… it’s a one stop shop more template should be added.. and looking to see more digital products on square space Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Digital Production Artist Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Squarespace makes complicated tasks smooth and easy" April 29, 2020 5.0 It's been really good! I use Squarespace for my photography portfolio. Back in the day I coded my own websites and it was a pain in the butt. Having Squarespace as an option is just so much better. I can focus on the parts of the process that I enjoy. Pros \- It's easy to use and quite easy to customize. There are a lot of possibilities. - Templates are fresh and inspiring. - Interface is smooth and easy to navigate. - Uploading and organizing photos is a dream. It's very easy. - Templates work flawlessly on desktop and mobile - Price is fair (not cheap, but a good value for everything it includes) - The first year was half price with my student email address Cons \- There's no way to create a client proofing gallery! This feature would be invaluable to photographers who want to give their clients a way to select which photos they're interested in. - Having a custom email address costs extra (I believe it's $5/month) - The selection of templates is a little limited and sites can have a noticeable Squarespace look. But there is room for customization. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Reason for choosing Squarespace Squarespace is much more professional and there were templates with full-screen photos, which is what I really wanted. Review Source Víctor R. Web Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Only for basic websites." January 5, 2020 4.0 You can easily have a decent website in a very short period of time, but it is not for personalized websites. It is recommended for people that want to put together their website by their own and do not have big knowledge on web development or programming. Pros Offers a big variety of templates of landing pages and traditional web sites, wich can be slightly adapted. It alouds you to add different elements (text, gallery, and photos) with only one click. If you already have your domain it is easy to configure it with Squarespace. You can produce multilingual pages. It enables you to add an e-commerce module, as well as a contact form page. Cons It is not easy to adapt the templates to specific design features. it is tricky to modify pictures sizes and locations. If you are trying to modify the header and footer, you need to do them in each page separately. Only the title and the main menu reproduce through different pages automatically. The logo in the header is not adaptable for multilingual websites, it remains constant.

I have considered using different platforms but they usually have a higher price point and you have to pay for each individual template. I like that you have new templates constantly coming out and you have access to all of them. Pros I've been using Squarespace for my photography business the past 5 years and I love the software. I love the versatility of templates provided and the customization designs. I have changes templates maybe 5 times in the past couple of years. If you're new to creating a website this is a great place to start. It's literally a click and drag method, and the best part is that you get a beautiful website. Customer support is also amazing! Anytime I had a bottle neck I had no issue reaching out and receiving a prompt response. Cons After using it for a couple of years there are a few things I wish I was able to do. If you are not a programmer a few small details may really bug you. For instance if you wanted to change the spacing between images you will have to look up code and plug it into the advanced settings. For people who are not programmers it's pretty much a plug and see if it works type of approach. With that said many people post on the Squarespace forums and have provided code that has worked for them and it's been pretty helpful. I really enjoy shopping around for templates and seeing the potential that these templates are able to produce. However, it seems like a lot of coding went into these example layouts in order to get the look that they were able to achieve. I also, wish I was able to save my previous template before fully committing to a new one. Review Source AK Ashley K. Brand Designer + photographer Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The only platform I work in " October 17, 2022 5.0 Overall amazing. As a brand designer I create custom websites for clients while only needed to use a minimal amount of code and my clients find the platform easy and aesthetic. Pros The ease of use, the aesthetic and they seem to always be improving their software and buying new companies to expand third party integrations. Cons The price has been getting higher and they are second to Shopify for e-commerce but hoping they continue to close the gap. Alternatives considered [Shopify](https://www.capterra.com/p/83891/Shopify/) Reason for choosing Squarespace Price and aesthetic. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to work with at a reasonable price" March 22, 2022 5.0 One of the ways we have benefited from Squarespace is being able to quickly train non-technical employees to use it. We have not experienced any downtimes. The few times we have used it, customer service has been attentive. Pros Working with Squarespace requires a short learning curve. Webpages are easily updated and built. The cost is reasonable. Cons Squarespace's ease of operation does somewhat limit how pages can be formatted. But I consider this a minor issue. Review Source KB Kathryn B. President Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great website software" September 2, 2019 5.0 Square space has been great overall, I’m happy with the ease of use and overall customer service. I’ve had a few troubleshooting issues, but overall I’m happy with the price and ease of use for my customers as well. Pros Square space is very easy to use. I built my companies website on there and it look me less time it was going to take on some other sites. I am by no means web designer, but square space has thought of so much, that is simplifies a lot of steps for the user. They have a lot of great designs you can choose from and then customize yours from there. The integration is also fantastic because you can work with recommended third party companies for shipping, accounting etc.. I also don’t think there pricing is bad. As a retail business we pay for the consumer piece monthly but if you’re just writing a blog or a smaller less involved website the costs are very low or free. We also have the ability to take off their logos when paying and have our own logos and advertising. We also got a deal with google analytics for it. Cons The only thing I struggle with is integrating reviews on my retail inventory. They don’t have a very simple way to code and have an area to have reviews on every piece of inventory and I’m still working on it. I called customer service and they were not helpful in this aspect, but have been very helpful in almost everything else. Reason for choosing Squarespace Wiz seemed more confusing to use than square space. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Project Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I created a Squarespace site for a side project nonprofit business and was surprised by the features" May 8, 2018 5.0 I was somewhat of an amateur to building a website when I decided to go with Squarespace. It is not idiot-proof by any means, but I was definitely able to make a nice, clean site pretty much on my own. Squarespace has so many features that most small to medium sized businesses could do whatever they need with it at little cost. Pros I went in with low expectations because I am used to working with a few different CMS's (Kentico, WordPress) and was assuming I wouldn't be able to do much with SquareSpace because of it's low price, which was ok because I only planned on having a few pages anyway. I was surprised that I could easily build in a Contact Form, eCommerce for Donations, and an Event Calendar. It didn't take me long to get up and running, and was also pleasantly surprised how easy it was to add what I wanted to the CSS to make some changes from the initial template. For the price, you get a clean, modern and responsive website. I honestly don't know why more small mom and pop type stores make the very small investment to have a site that is far superior to many other of the cheap options. Cons Although there are quite a few available, there could always be more template options. Many of them seem to be retreads of others. Other than that, there were a few features that took some trial and error before I could figure it out, but most people should be able to get up and running relatively quickly. Review Source Jared W. Health Commissioner Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Point and Click Web Design" February 12, 2019 5.0 Pros My grandma could build a webpage with Squarespace. Her grandma could have done it too. It is really that easy to make an honest to goodness professional website. In my small office, we have given editing access to several members of our staff, and allow them to update and improve the website at will. With the edit permission settings on Squarespace, they just can't mess things up. And if they do manage to destroy things, somehow, I know we can reconstruct the whole thing from scratch in an afternoon. The templates are that straightforward. We no longer need to pay a web designer to make changes and do upkeep for us. Cons The built in payment system is mandatory. For some businesses, like mine, we are mandated to use specific vendors for credit card processing and just can't go with the provided vendor. That is frustrating. Review Source ME Marisela E. Customer Service Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The best website builder!! " September 5, 2019 5.0 We have a very professional website, the website is optimized, it is easy to use for our clients, and has brought in more business because of the look of our website. We are pleased with using Squarespace, in that it allows us to update our site easily, make necessary changes, we are able to look at the Analytics and make changes based on that information. We are able to invoice clients through the website, so everything looks professional. Pros There are so many great features with this software, all laid out beautifully with the interface. You can start designing your website using one of the suggested templates or a blank site, but right away you can add images and text, manipulate the look/size/overall feel of the site. The best part is that you can see how the changes look right away, you can see your site on computer screen, or tablet, phone; you can see how website looks in the different formats. In addition, there are Commerce features and many others that are excellent. Lastly, the way that files are saved are organized, very easy to retrieve and add onto the various pages, structures. Cons There are no cons that I have encountered. I am very happy with how the website looks. The one con is that it takes a bit of time to build the website to your desired professional look... but that is expected of any website building experience. That it will take some time to get to the finished result. Switched from [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) We used WordPress for a long time. WOrdpress still required a lot of work, and paying for the premium wordpress sites still ended up with us having to do a lot of maintenance and building of the website. We are not professional website builders so changing from wordpress site to Squarespace made a lot more sense for us. Review Source Mo C. Content Writer & Social Media Manager Publishing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "SquareSpace allowed me to take my website to the next level" October 17, 2018 5.0 Overall, SquareSpace has been a tremendous asset to grow my business and have a nicely designed website that works and handles traffic well. Pros Squarespace is easy to use and the design options give me the flexibility to tailor my website easily. It's so easy to use, and no drag and drop here - you simply add blocks from a small pop up menu and then you can move them around on the page. The blog pages are awesome - simple, cleanly designed and easy to add a post. The "duplicate" feature for blog and web pages makes it so much faster for me to add what I need in very little time. And the price is perfect! Cons Only issue I have is that when you add a block to the middle or bottom of the page, the whole page jumps up to the top. Once I complete the block, and save it, I have to scroll all the way to the bottom to see the block and continue adding another block. Review Source TC Terri C. Owner Arts and Crafts Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great for those who want a website that is customizable without paying someone else to do it for you" May 26, 2022 4.0 It has been good so far. I’ve designed websites with basic HTML and CSS in the past but it’s been 15 years. This is easy when getting back into design or if you are just learning. Pros It is basically easy to learn to use. It is a bit frustrating at first but one you get the hang of it you should enjoy using it. Cons At first you aren’t sure if you want a trial or subscription. Don’t build much until you know because you will have to start all over. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/)[Shopify](https://www.capterra.com/p/83891/Shopify/) Reason for choosing Squarespace It is much more reliable and easy to start out. Price is better. Review Source Nicholas S. Student Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Pricey But Worthy Website Builder" April 19, 2019 5.0 Pros Squarespace is a simple yet powerful website builder. If you have barely any IT or design background, Squarespace takes care of the most difficult parts of designing a website. While I'm using Squarespace, I feel safe knowing that I'm using a simple product powerful enough to fit my design skills(or lack thereof) and preferred final product of website. You won't find a product as stunning and simple as Squarespace Cons For those who want to take a more hands-on design approach, this website builder may not be the best solution. Since it's designed for beginner to mid-level website designers, it does not have a wide variety of code implementation or customization. You'll be primarily stuck in the website template you chose from the beginning, which isn't a bad thing if you're not savvy with code and website customization. Review Source CH Cassidy H. Artist Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Square space review" October 23, 2023 5.0 My overall experience with square space has been pleasurable for the most part and square space S definitely aided to helping my business grow Pros The most impactful features are the webbed site builder, and the most important part is that it’s easy to use and very user-friendly Cons Honestly, over the years that I’ve use square space all of the little quirks and tweaks that they’ve made have brought it up to speed and I can say that there isnt any glaring mistakes Alternatives considered [Geckoboard](https://www.capterra.com/p/153066/Geckoboard/)[Buildium](https://www.capterra.com/p/47428/Buildium-Property-Management-Software/)[GoDaddy Website Builder](https://www.capterra.com/p/182500/GoDaddy-Website-Builder/) Review Source EL Ellie L.

Mindset Coach Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Maybe not for coaching" July 12, 2022 3.0 Pros The templates on this website are beautiful and it is exceptionally easy to create a functional website. You don’t have to be a professional or really know what you’re doing, and you could still come out with something that works really well. Cons As an online coach, I need specific things like a functional membership program and specific ways to purchase my offers that i found this platform didn’t suit well. Review Source CT Caleb T. Marketing Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Perfect Website Platform for Everyone " June 3, 2021 5.0 We use Squarespace to schedule client meetings, provide educational materials and more with complete ease. Pros Squarespace makes it so easy to edit, change, add features and anything else you need to do. I had no experience in coding or web development, and Squarespace took care of all of my concerns with easy to use templates and plug and play features. Cons I have yet to discover a feature of this software that does not work well with our organization or team. Review Source KS Katherine S. law clerk Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple, efficient and easy website design and management" May 17, 2023 4.0 Overall, I will continue to use Squarespace over other comparable options (Wordpress, Wix, GoDaddy, etc) due to the simplicity and ease with which it allows for website design/management and the options that are preset. The only real detriment is that it does not allow for certain specific modifications/configurations of their templates. Still very user-friendly and worthwhile. Pros Squarespace makes designing a website with only basic knowledge of web design an option for individuals and small businesses looking to create a website on their own. Cons I wish there were more options (optional) when it came to making changes and customizations in the preset templates Switched from [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) Simple, efficient and easy website design and management and a great value for the cost Review Source Similar Products Featured
