Founder E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Looks awesome but feels like a walled garden" April 10, 2025 4.0 It started out great... awesome templates, simple interface. But the more you need to use it, the more boxed in you feel. If you are looking for design freedom, it's not the software to use. Pros It has great out of the box templates that look amazing. Everything feels polished without much effort. Cons Its really rigid. There is very little design freedom and if you dont use the exact design they give you, everything gets real complex.

Assistant Director Media Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great website in minutes, literally! " December 6, 2024 5.0 I know how to setup a website in Wordpress, on a server, but I would again switch to Squarespace. I am happy not to be bothered with a number of other time consuming tasks that you need to take care in WP. It is very easy to start a website! Pros You can set-up a website literally in minutes! Cons I miss a better language support, Slovenian for example. Changing design of the website is not the easiest task to do. Not a deal breaker, though. Alternatives considered [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) Reason for choosing Squarespace I learned about Squarespace in podcasts. They sponsored many that I listened. Maybe it was The Serial, not sure. Switched from [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) I needed a new website really fast, so didn't want to bother with setting up another WP server. Review Source JB Joy B. Communications and Events Officer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very easy for basic websites" October 7, 2024 4.0 I really like using Squarespace for our small charity. We have a relatively simple website and it is really easy to edit and add to our website as needed. I don't need to use any code or special plugins to build the website which is great. Pros It is easy to set up a basic website and use the drag and drop editor. It's very straightforward to pick up from the start and you don't have to be a web developer to use it. Cons The design templates and styles can be restricting. Switched from [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Squarespace was much more straightforward to use Review Source CR Carlos R. Junior Marketing Officer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Making my own site within an hours." November 6, 2024 5.0 Squarespace enabled me to build a professional online digital footprint that truly represents my brand while leaving a lasting impression on my audience. It has been essential in helping me to showcase my work, find clients and build my business. Pros Squarespace can surprise you with how easy it is to build a beautiful website. Their templates are beautiful and contemporary, they have an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, and they have built-in features from blogging to ecommerce. Your attention to detail along with aesthetics adds charm to my website. Cons The templates are awesome and a great foundation, but they can feel a little limiting in terms of customization options compared to other website builders. Review Source JG Jeremy G. Game Desginer Computer Games Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Squarespace is great for first time website builders." October 28, 2024 3.0 I have had a lot of success building and updating websites with squarespace and managing payment through it but have looked into alternatives with better price points and flexibility. Pros User friendliness is next to none when it comes to managing a website for a small business. Cons The cost of squarespace is high for a a single or two person business operation. Review Source CR Ciara R. Owner Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Try this product" April 3, 2025 4.0 Overall, square space has helped me with my business. Pros What I like most about square space is its functionality. Cons What I like least about square space is the price point. Review Source MB Michelle B. Owner and Baker Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great platform, easy to learn, lots of options. Affordable." November 12, 2024 5.0 Really love the platform. Easy to use. Lots of options to help build up your site and make it feel like your own. Very supportive design process with lots of guidance offered. Pros \- Templates provided are an awesome starting place for inspiration and providing a foundation to build a site. - Soooo many fonts available - Loads of options for customization - Plenty options to build a site depending on your type of business - Helpful options for setting up a shop page - Awesome integrations - Options to build your shop if you're selling things - Intuitive, clean interface, easy to understand - Affordable price for a basic shop site for a small business Cons \- I wish there was more of a free-form dragging feature. The grid formatting can be feel limiting in placing things on a webpage. However, I admit I am very ignorant about the nuances about how web design must work on a practical level, so I don't know if grid-based placement is necessary for website design or something. Review Source NC Nick C. Executive Clinical Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The New Standard" September 27, 2024 5.0 We needed a way to accept donations electronically at events that occur offsite. Our plan was to utilize Squarespace as a tool in our tool chest of accepting donations. We quickly learned that limiting ourselves to using it only at offsite events was not maximizing the benefits they offer. In the two years we have used Squarespace, we have gone from using it a few times a month to replacing our entire payment system. With companies like Squarespace offering low fees and processing costs while maximizing the value for user, I don’t know how traditional payment processors will be able to compete. Pros Squarespace revolutionized our ability to fundraise. We have multiple events per month that take place off site, either at churches or other venues. The primary goal of these events is to raise funds. We have reached a point where very few people carry cash, and even fewer carry checks. In order to capitalize on the good will we generate at these events and maximize the raised funds, we need to be able to immediately accept donations. Squarespace lets us do that, with a transaction fee that is similar to the standalone card reader we utilize at our office. Cons When we initially began using Squarespace, we encountered some pushback from people who were hesitant to hand their credit card over to us with our phone in hand. However, Squarespace has continually provided updates that address these concerns. Switched from [Elavon](https://www.capterra.com/p/183057/Elavon/) We did not initially plan on switching to Squarespace for all our payment processing. However, once we saw how well it handled offsite transactions, we quickly decided to switch to Squarespace for all our payment processing. Review Source DG Damian G. CTO Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Capri Pizza" March 21, 2026 4.0 Pros When working for client best is everything is one in all place not making issues that client need to provide multiple services.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer web designer Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "SSquarespace excels in design quality and ease of use for visually-driven websites" May 24, 2025 4.0 Pros It's a great choice for creatives, small businesses, and entrepreneurs looking to build a professional-looking site without coding skills. The platform offers built-in tools for blogging, e-commerce, and SEO, along with reliable hosting and 24/7 customer support. Cons Lacks some advanced functionality such as animations and specific interactions if you desire more complex designs. Review Source JL Jessica L. Owner Events Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good value for beginners " January 1, 2026 4.0 Overall my experience with Squarespace is good value for the money. Would recommend for others starting out Pros Easy to design the website. And the options for clients to pay. They also provide marketing designs. Cons I don’t have the option to make an independent payment you need to have the customer pay directly through the site Review Source PM PAULO M.

Pros the acces , this is east and fast to use it Cons sometime we need to pay too much for taxes Review Source BG Ben G. Webmaster Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good web builder, but team behind it" March 11, 2025 3.0 My experience with Squarespace is average, it's one of many site builders that work well but are run by a team with lacking support and poor marketing. Pros I liked how easy it was to create a website Cons I did not like the pricing, the support nor the methods they use for marketing. Review Source TW Tiana W. Owner Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for someone who is just starting " December 27, 2024 3.0 Pros I like how they have options for pre created webpages for people that are just starting and dont know how to design a website. Cons You are limited to what you can do on squarespace. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Reason for choosing Squarespace Wix has many more features and you get more bang for your buck. Review Source HW Haley W. Owner Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great !!!!!"

Content creator and Social Media Manager Consumer Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to use for rookies like me" May 25, 2025 5.0 Overall, Squarespace has been a reliable and user-friendly platform for building my salon's online presence. It helped me create a stylish website that reflects my brand and allows clients to learn about services and book appointments easily. Pros What I liked most about Squarespace is how easy it is to build a professional-looking website without needing coding skills. The templates are modern and customizable, and the platform makes it simple to manage content and bookings. Cons Some design features are a bit limited unless you use custom code. Also, loading times can be slower depending on the template. Switched from [Google Sites](https://www.capterra.com/p/246647/Google-Sites/) It has more features and looks more professional without needing to know programming as such. Review Source Nedim M.

Owner Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "User friendly, great for data, extra fees keep it from being flawless" January 2, 2025 5.0 Pros User friendly, able to modify and add plugins very easily and the internal data tracking is very good Cons The only thing I don't like about our websites with SS is having to pay for the booking options. That should be included in the rates as it is with most other website hosts. Switched from [GoDaddy Website Builder](https://www.capterra.com/p/182500/GoDaddy-Website-Builder/) User Friendly, dashboard quality and analytics Review Source SW Sarah W. CEO Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Really good software" January 7, 2025 5.0 It was very good for the size of business that we had for quite a while. Ultimately I ended up upgrading to a dis-batching software later....but for a long time it was enough for our business. Pros I liked that it was very user friendly. It was very simple and had a lot of features. I was able to add my team and it was easy for them to use as well. Cons It didn't have the capability to add pictures to shifts or take deposits from clients. Review Source KM Kenny M. Creative IT Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great in early stages of your org" November 12, 2024 3.0 It was great while we were starting but we outgrew it. Pros Squarespace is very beginner friendly! Easy to setup and start. Cons Once your org starts growing, the lack of custom integrations and flexibility can really come into play. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/)[WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) Reason for choosing Squarespace The ease of use for volunteers and non web builders.

Analyst Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Intuitive platform that on the whole makes website building easy" April 26, 2025 4.0 Like I said it just works, its easy to use and it does all we needed it to do from the off and maintaining the website is a breeze, Pros Makes website building easy and as its widely used there's plenty of helpful resources to help if you do ever get stuck. It's intuitive and easy to use and the templates are vast and allow for decent website creation. Cons Templates don't always provide what's needed and due to all the templates its hard to make your website be unique. The AI builder doesn't really work unless you have a mainstream business.
