### "Build a Website with a Professional Website Builder"

May 9, 2021

5.0

I have created a lot of websites using the Squarespace so my overall experience with Squarespace is really nice. I have found it so easy because I can customize the site as I wish.

Pros

If you want to start and build your website with an amazing website builder, then Squarespace is a best option for you. This platform gives you all the tools you need. You can choose the best website template and then edit the contents according to your requirements.

Cons

All tools, features and options are really easy to use. You can now design a website using this builder without any cons or technical issues.

### "Start designing your website today"

August 21, 2018

5.0

Squarespace also allows for you to customize your website with different functions to increase the functionalities and wow factor of your website

### "Squarespace - Simple Website Builder"

March 23, 2021

5.0

It was easy enough to get a quick website up (non customized) for a client when it needed to be up. I prefer to build customized sites that are SEO friendly and drive sales though.

Pros

Using Squarespace was easy enough to get something started for a new client that didn't have the resources for a custom built website.

Cons

This is at no fault to the software, the trade off with a prebuilt page builder like this is the lack of customization.

### "Free Trial is Limited"

January 4, 2020

5.0

Although I think Squarespace is an excellent choice, I decided to go with Wix for my blogging needs. If I could have had the option to publish for free online with a trial version, I may have completely changed my mind.

Pros

Squarespace has visually appealing theme choices that are relevant to today's social world- better than any other online platform that I've seen.

Cons

I was excited to see my website in it's full capacity when I created it, but then realized that I needed to upgrade to a premium option to continue, which was quite disappointing. Wix, for example, allows you to create the entire site and even upload it online using their address, but Squarespace doesn't.

I felt that Wordpress wasn't as appealing visually as Squarespace.

### "Squarespace...Not so much"

April 3, 2020

5.0

Overall I wouldn't recommend Squarespace the load speed to just way too slow.

Pros

What I like best about Squarespace is the templates are very nice look. They actually look really nice. They are super quick to build.

Cons

What I like least about Squarespace is that load speed is too slow. That's a problem. The page speed loads so slow that people won't wait to load the page. So you're missing out on some visitors.

### "Amazing for Building Sleek Websites"

August 12, 2021

5.0

Pros

The templates SquareSpace offers for building a sleek website is unmatched to any other platform. It does a great job of allowing you to showcase an extremely modern website.

Cons

Compared to other website builders, SquareSpace is a bit more complex in its learning curve. As it is centered around design, there are some caveats you need to learn before getting to be an expert at this software.

### "Learning curve"

June 15, 2020

2.0

Squarespace makes it super easy to get a site up and running within a day.

Pros

Squarespace has a lot of free templates that you can easily deploy and customize for your website. There are a lot of options.

Cons

You are limited with customization based on what type of website you're building. For example, they have "music" templates that look great, but if you don't plan on integrating booking software, are useless.

### "Professionally tailored, Great for Portfolio"

August 29, 2019

5.0

If you need a platform that can provide professionally curated templates that can instantly transform your online presence, go with Squarespace.

Pros

Squarespace is very easy to get hands-on, with lots of additional features (some of which are included in subscription). It also provides beautiful templates that users can use for portfolio and work content.

Cons

The total cost of running a personal website will be somewhat pricey (if paying out of pocket), but you'll be able to get everything set up (domain, web address, etc.) and ready to roll.

### "SquareSpace - Freedom to Create"

October 9, 2019

5.0

Overall, my experience has been positive. I can resolve most issues myself and it's easy enough for the average user to navigate.

Pros

Squarespace is affordable. It's better than Wix, it's deep and intricate at the same time. Choose from a multitude of options to customize a website to your exact vision and style.

Cons

I least like that Squarespace doesn't offer phone support. If I have an issue, I can't get a quick resolution.

### "Great product, easy to use, creates beautiful websites"

June 5, 2019

5.0

Probably the best website host/builder on the market because of its ease of use and quality.

Pros

Beautiful templates, designs, extremely easy to use, lots of built-in applications that are useful

Cons

Limitations using certain templates. There's always a workaround with custom code but it can become tedious. For example, creating a multi-language website was a huge pain as squarespace does not currently support this.

### "I've set up several of our companies sites with Squarespace and it's been amazing"

August 23, 2017

5.0

Web sites made easy... I get a ton of people commenting on our website and how good it looks.

Pros

It's so simple. The ability to create beautiful, functional sites with almost no knowledge of any coding. Squarespace has become the standard for simple, functional sites.

Cons

Some of the customisations can be a bit tricky. This is about the the worst thing, and it's so minor because the support documentation is so good.

August 26, 2019

5.0

Easy, clean, fast, a very professional looking end product

Pros

Coming from a competitor company, Squarespace really makes site building a much simpler, faster process.

Cons

Maybe not quite as many options available for those that like to "get under the hood," but if that is you, you probably don't need Squarespace anyway.

Squarespace is a good option to make a landing page for ecommerce or professional portfolio.

Pros

Squarespace has a bunch of features and templates to design a web page.

Cons

Although it has a lot of templates, sometimes it constrains the creativity to web designing.

### "Great portfolio tool!"

June 25, 2019

4.0

Overall I have had a positive experience.

Pros

I thought squarespace was a pretty good tool for building a portfolio to show your design work. I liked the customization you were able to do with each page and the relatively ease of use.

Cons

Sometime squarespace crashes when I use safari. I find this frustrating. I also get a lot of spam email from fake squarespace accounts trying to steal my credit card info. Not sure how I started getting these fake emails...

### "easy website building software"

January 19, 2018

4.0

easy software building for early to mid market companies.

Pros

Integrations to 3rd party apps is very simple, usually just code embed that too with a functional dashboard. Adding blocks to build websites is easy also customization pages and div's is also pretty easy. And with the space block, we can very quickly add vertical or horizontal padding to content.

Cons

Limited options when you have to use it for website personalization real time marketing content. Most of the themes give websites a "template like look" would like to see more innovative themes.

### "For quick and simple websites, Squarespace is a great choice."

December 5, 2018

4.0

Pros

It's super easy to get started with a new site. The built in templates are beautiful. Since they host your website for you, there's no risk of viruses.

Cons

Ultimately I left Squarespace for Wordpress because they are limited with how you can customize the templates. While they are beautiful, I wanted to do some custom scripting and custom font faces which required I switch to Wordpress.

### "Websites for everyone"

February 26, 2019

4.0

Pros

For anyone looking for an easy way to build a website, this platform might help. It is easy to use, and offers many designs to choose from. Marketing tools are a big plus, as they offer a way to reach more users and return feedback on performance indicators.

Cons

Designs are limited, and if we have a clear idea of what we want, we might not find it.

Pros

Easy to use, link to a domain, and start building your very own space right away.

Cons

Can be a little limited, but if your not experienced in building websites more in depth this is ok.

### "Quality website builder"

October 13, 2017

5.0

Pros

Squarespace stands out from some of the other DIY website building tools. Quality. That's the one word that really encapsulates my experience thus far. The theme selection has some nice gems. Even the "bad" Squarespace themes are decent. Editing photos and text content is handled quite nicely in the backend. For basic editing, they've made things incredibly straightforward. Easy to navigate. Nice animations. The on-page editing is also a big plus. Setting up a podcast in Squarespace is also quite easy. I haven't used Squarespace for ecommerce, but I assume it's equally easy to get going.

Cons

Surprisingly, customization is not Squarespace's strong suite. At times, even achieving what would seem to be a minor customization proves to be very difficult. The platform certainly gives you the tools to customize as needed, but you go from "extremely easy" to "pretty tricky" faster than you might expect. As much as I enjoyed using Squarespace, it turned out being more difficult to use than I anticipated. When you're happy to use what's readily available through the theme you've chosen, things go smoothly. Once you have a specific feature or layout in mind, it can be difficult to bend Squarespace to your will.

### "High quality websites and easy to use"

November 29, 2018

5.0

Developing websites for clients or for my own company was a great experience. Everyone that visited client's website or ours, got impressed and loved it. If you are in a hurry to get your website up and running, choose a theme on SquareSpace, and start to put your own content. You don't need to worry about server, because SquareSpace hosts it for you :)

Pros

The templates are the best part! They have a bunch of great and well designed themes ready to use for your business. Being a developer or a designer, you can construct your website easily, using ready modules with drag and drop moves.

Cons

Expensive for Brazil. This is the only con on Squarespace, because we have to pay in US dollars, what gets heavy for us. Also, there is not Ecommerce integration for Brazil (for now).

### "Niche product and a little expensive"

August 2, 2018

3.0

Customer service was amazing, I had to contact them very often due to many questions and disappointments I had due to it's lack of flexibility.

Pros

Taking aside it's lack of flexibility, squarespace is visually more appealing than it's competitors.

Cons

Lack of flexibility, I hosted a couple of sites with them for a year and learned the hard way many things cannot be implemented unless you are looking for a simple website.

### "Squarespace review"

November 27, 2018

5.0

Overall I love the program. They make web deisgn so easy to do! Everything is nicely organized so I can easily make changes to what I need to change.

Pros

I love squarespace! They offer ssl protection, domains, templates, customer service, etc.! It's so easy to make changes on my website and easily upload photos.

Cons

The only con I have is sometimes it's difficult to load but that is mainly because I live in a rural area and our internet isn't the fastest.
