### "Great For Beginners"

July 26, 2018

4.0

Pros

I am a website builder. This was the first interface that I worked on a website through. It helped to teach me what was what when it came to website editing before I moved on to more advanced interfaces.

Cons

The reaction time on Squarespace tends to be fairly slow, and the blog interface is weak when it comes to building quality content posts.

### "Best platform for website design I've used thus far"

November 19, 2019

5.0

Setting up and running my website through Squarespace has been easy, enjoyable and well worth it.

Pros

Beautiful layouts, fresh/clean/modern design, easy to use, websites look professional and allow customisation so you can still give the preset layouts your own business look and feel.

Cons

The business back is quite expensive for small businesses, especially when you add in additional costs such as integrating scheduling software into your website.

Reason for choosing Squarespace

I had previously used Wordpress but felt Squarespace was fresher, more modern and more function.

### "Squarespace Efficacy"

October 7, 2017

4.0

Pros

I was able to use Squarespace to quickly put together a personal website that looked extremely clean and had a bare minimum of complicated set up. I got numerous compliments on the quality of the site despite having no experience with website building or design.

Cons

Some of the menu options are not as intuitive to find as I might like. The best example is when I needed to add different menu headings on the site (I.e., About Me, FAQ, etc.): it’s located under “Pages,” which does make a degree of sense, but it’s not the most intuitive and I constantly forgot how to get there. Also, to my memory, while the analytics page was good, it didn’t allow you to filter for custom dates, instead being last month, last week, etc.

### "Fantastic For portfolio !"

March 11, 2018

5.0

The most attractive benefit of this software is how it helped me to promote myself and create my portfolio

Pros

I love the templates and how easy it is to work in, the versatility that offers us to those who resort to different uses, Squarespace gives us a lot of uses for that wonderful tool

Cons

i don't like much the options for fonts. They can not be selected per text box, but they have to be set as part of the style editor. but maybe it prevents the user use a million different fonts, sizes, etc, but I would like to have more options within the style editor.

### "All-in-one platform to create your website"

May 1, 2020

5.0

Overall, I would definitely recommend this platform for anyone looking to build their own website.

Pros

By far my favorite feature about Squarespace is the templates it offers. They're customizable and most importantly, they're aesthetically pleasing.

Cons

I honestly cannot find any cons with Squarespace. It has all the tools you need to get your website up and running.

### "Quickest, easiest way to build a beautiful website."

May 13, 2018

5.0

Pros

There are three things I love the most about Squarespace. Its ease of use: you can publish you site in just a few clicks. Its flexibility: you can use it for a blog, an e-commerce site, a personal portfolio, a landing page, etc. Its beautiful templates: no need to be a seasoned designer or coder, your site will look amazing and professional from the start.

Cons

If I had to mention one thing to improve about this product it'd be the configuration of some of the advanced features (e.g. custom web domain, custom JavaScript snippets).

### "Great to Build your first Website"

December 4, 2018

4.0

Great tool to set up your website if you have no idea about web design.

Pros

Squarespace is great if you have no idea about websites to get one up and running super fast. Their templates look great and are very easy to setup and configure.

Cons

Given how easy it is to set up, once you want more individualisation you are stuck pretty soon. That is the reason why I switched over two Wordpress after about a year. Also SEO was not that great from my experience, although this could have been me since I was a beginner.

### "Great payment processor for sole proprietors"

June 22, 2019

4.0

Overall it's good, but if i do become more active with sales I will probably switch over to a different payment processor that offers more competitive pricing.

Pros

I make art on the side and squarespace is a good payment processor for buyers who need to pay by credit/debit card. I usually try to take cash but for those once in awhile transactions that you have to make by card you want swipe capability to not miss sales. It does its job well and doesn't fail much.

Cons

Cost of course. Payment processors charge a bit these days and if you get a lot of transactions it might be better to look at a competitor, but if it's once in awhile card swipe transaction then Squarespace will work.

### "High quality templates, easy to build on, but almost to easy"

August 1, 2018

5.0

Pros

Honestly if you needed to erect a website in 20 minutes, this is the easiest way to do it. There's no shortage of high-quality templates, and it's easy to just swap between templates and quickly customize to your liking.

Cons

There is a lack of customization for folks who are familiar with coding. There are certain elements that can not be edited, and this can lead to not being able to fully execute your vision. Also I do notice some issues in image population on some of my pages on my current template (one of the major photography templates offered on the site).

### "Beautiful design but not super intuitive "

September 10, 2018

4.0

Pros

There are many great features that Squarespace offers that are great. The prebuilt templates and editing features are a great example of this. You can really take what templates they give you and make them your own.

Cons

I dont find it to be the most intuitive software to use. I feel as though I have to search folders within folders within folders to find exactly what Im looking at. Also there are simple features, like being able to edit leading and kerning on type that aren't available unless you upgrade and code it yourself.

### "Squarespace Review"

October 29, 2018

3.0

Squarespace doesn’t have a free plan - although it appears to advertise as such (which can be a bit misleading). Also, it isnt the cheapest website builder out there, meaning cash strapped businesses will opt for cheaper options despite these being less professional looking.

Pros

Squarespace provide all the necessary tools "newbies" need to build a website which looks slick and professional . Esy to use and clear instructions on website set up. It also offers a free trial period (14 days - not totally free) and with good marketing spend, it gets quite a lot of TV advertising airplay

Cons

With the advent of many competitors and wed creation software, its strange the company still requires payment for the build. I appreciate it may charge for hosting the site, but there are now many other companies and means and ways of building website (wix, godaddy, weebly etc) which offers the same things and attimes at much cheaper rates/prices.

### "Very professional and robust"

July 29, 2018

5.0

Pros

How robust and user-friendly it is. Upon signing up, you're presented with a whole plethora of templates that fit all sorts of business themes and meta-messages. You can then explore the templates and pretty much overhaul whatever you'd want to; I was able to easily add a live chat feature to mine. Not only that but due to its popularity, there are endless promotions on the internet that you can use to get a first time discount.

Cons

Squarespace seems to be set up with the assumption that you have some background in web-design because there aren't guidelines on how a site should be set up. The templates have no hard UX/UI reasonings and if you want to overhaul the content then it requires a deeper understanding of content strategy. Still great though.

May 18, 2021

Used to build a quick website and administer it. Upload new content as needed.

Pros

Easy to use, lots of great templates, design aesthetic way ahead of competitors. Good for blogs, portfolio or online stores.

Cons

Expensive, force you to buy domain thru them, can not easily transfer data from prior site or domain.

Pros

So many templates, super easy to use and understand.

September 27, 2019

5.0

Pros

I’ve found Squarespace very easy to use. There were many features I could add to my website. I was impressed with the template options also

Cons

When I made a mistake while building the website I found it hard just to undo that one mistake, often I’d have to start a large section again

### "One of the best WYSIWYG Platforms for Small Business"

May 13, 2019

5.0

I've used squarespace for personal projects, developed on it for freelance clients, and consulted others on optimizations. I've worked on 25+ squaresapce sites and it is certainly the best easy-starting platform I've worked with and is almost always my top recommendation

Pros

Powerful features beyond standard wysiwyg platforms, good seo control, access to CSS and code injection files, well-designed pricing tiers, constant new releases

Cons

some themes are more restrictive than others, asset management is not good (although a new release is making it much better), i wish there was a "blank page" option for custom landing pages

### "Squarespace "

July 28, 2022

5.0

Great. We won’t ever switch to another website platform. We love that this platform is so easy to use that our on-staff faculty can update our website, which saves an expense of having to hire a website designer.

Pros

The ease of use. With no website designers on staff, we were worried that we would struggle with creating and updating our website. However, Squarespace is incredibly user friendly and easy to navigate. You do NOT need to know “code” to build and update your website.

Cons

Honestly, we can’t think of anything we don’t like about the software. We have yet to run into any issues with this software.

### "Building Websites w/ Squarespace is Beautiful"

April 23, 2019

5.0

Pros

The design templates for building websites in Squarespace is awesome. I'm not very creative, but Squarespace helps me build amazing websites with their template designs. It's also very easy to add your own photography and customize everything to make it truly your own.

Cons

A lot of the settings, Google Analytics, Facebook, and other targeting tools are very difficult to find within the platform. It takes too much time to find these more advanced settings to help with my website.

### "A platform that allows your to create beautiful website with minimal html knowledge required"

February 7, 2020

5.0

Squarespace has been amazing as it allows you to establish your business very quickly and in a very reasonable price.

Pros

The ability to choose form limitless numbers of themes to new people starting out to make a website is an amazing feature to have as it requires you to have minimal to no knowledge of coding or how to make websites.

Cons

Nothing, this is an great service that allows you to stop worrying about the technical side of things and lets focus on the business and on things that matter, would recommend to anyone looking to make a website.

### "Easy To Use Template Based Website Builder"

April 9, 2018

5.0

Pros

When we first set out to build a website we were not sure where to start. Squarespace offers customizable templates to help you get started. Not only are the templates professional and easy to customize, the whole editing process is very easy. Also, there are several add-ins with other sites that we use for events (Eventbrite) or to mail out event information (Mailchimp). And for only per month, you can't find a better service that will host your website.

Cons

The only downside I have experienced so far, is now that we are thinking of changing our template, not all the information from our current site may transfer. Also, there are not a lot of template options depending on what type of business you have.
