Owner Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great All-in-One Platform for Event Management" October 20, 2025 4.0 Overall, Squarespace made it easy to manage my small business and host creative events for kids. It allowed me to display past and upcoming workshops, accept payments, and keep in touch with customers. It’s reliable, visually appealing, and ideal for business owners who want to handle everything themselves. Pros I liked how easy it was to build a clean, professional website without needing technical skills. The event sales page features worked smoothly, and I loved being able to list upcoming art and craft sessions, sell tickets, and keep everything organized in one place. The templates were simple to customize for my business style. Cons I wish there were more flexible options for event ticket reporting and email confirmations. Customer support was very helpful, but the live chat wait times could be shorter. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/)[Shopify](https://www.capterra.com/p/83891/Shopify/) Reason for choosing Squarespace Wix had flexible design options but felt less streamlined for managing event ticket sales. Shopify was great for products, but it seemed more focused on retail than event-based businesses. Squarespace offered the best balance of design, simplicity, and event management tools for what I needed. Review Source Candy W. Founder Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Creating a Personal Brand & Residual Income with Squarespace" October 30, 2025 5.0 I've been using Squarespace for years and they keep surprising me with new features that I didn't even know that I needed but they make my business and brand run more smoothly and increase my online profits. Pros I can easily create a personal brand and an online destination to sell my digital products all in one place with Squarespace. It has so many intuitive features, page layouts, template design, links, video and image capability, that it brings my brand to life in a way that my audience can easily connect with and understand. Cons Depending on the design templates, you can't get always get all of the features, which isn't ideal when you love a template or when you switch templates for a brand refresh.

October 14, 2025 5.0 I have loved using Squarespace for many years to design my business websites, as well as for area organizations and clubs who needed a simple, efficient website. (With many bells and whistles that are not intimidating) Pros Squarespace is a great platform for all levels of website design. Those with no design experience will find the templates easy to use, and those with will be able to intuitively use the templates and then expand upon them to personalize and tweak. Cons At some point, there is a limitation for what you can do with your design templates and for the advanced designer you may grow out of this platform. But fortunately, Squarespace is always making improvements and often a need is met by an improvement within the platform. Switched from [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) I had outgrown Wix, and needed more design abilities and nuances. But that was a while ago -- I am sure Wix has improved greatly!

CEO Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Professional templates for the everyday user" August 24, 2025 4.0 My overall experience has been great! They are fairly user-friendly, and any obstacles can typically be solved through their Help articles or customer service. I don't plan on switching products anytime soon. Pros Squarespace has beautiful templates with different features, making it easy for a young adult with no website/design/coding experience to create a website for a small business. It's fairly user-friendly, meaning I could make all the edits myself. I also like that their email campaigns seamlessly integrate with my website, newsletter subscription storage, and the overall design. Cons Although it is made for the everyday person to create/edit their website, there are definitely some customization features that seem clunky, although this does vary by website template. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Reason for choosing Squarespace The templates were more to our liking at the time. They seemed more clean and professional, and the process of setting one up seemed more simple (if we needed different features, maybe we would have chosen another product, but we have minimal needs). Review Source AM Ajah M. Digital Interior Design Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Beautiful platform, just wish support was easier to reach" March 27, 2026 5.0 Very beginner-friendly. You don’t need to be tech-savvy to build something that looks professional.Overall, it’s been a good experience. It helped me create a clean, professional website for my business without a lot of stress. The only downside is when I need support, it’s not always easy to get immediate help. Pros Pretty good overall. You’re definitely paying for the polished look and ease of design. Worth it if visuals matter to your brand.The design is beautiful. My website looks very professional and I’ve gotten a lot of compliments. It’s easy to use and makes your brand feel elevated without needing a developer. Cons Customer support. I wish there was a direct phone option or faster access to real people. That part can be frustrating when you need help quickly. This is where it struggles. It’s hard to reach a real person quickly, and sometimes you just want to talk things through instead of waiting on chat or email. Review Source Francesco P. President Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Very solid site builder solution with just few flaws" July 21, 2025 4.0 Overall since we've tried a lot of platform, we can suggest it as it managed to give us all the tools we need with very few tweaks to adapt it to our specific needs Pros Squarespace helped us launch a professional, visually compelling website in record time, that truly reflects our mission. We had with no technical expertise but we can still easily update content, which is crucial for nonprofits with limited resources. Compared to other platforms (especially Wix or WordPress, which became a nightmare of plugins and updates for us), Squarespace delivers some good value: Effortless embeds, all the needed integrations with analytics and forms, mobile responsiveness... Cons Squarespace’s Events tool falls short for nonprofits with standard or regular programs. It misses the time zone support and creates confusion for virtual attendees (a custom CSS fix helps, but shouldn’t be necessary). The lack of recurring events can be frustrating. We host weekly workshops and have to manually duplicate each one. A workaround we used was to build a permanent 'Programs' page with a calendar embed (with an external service like Google Calendar), but this shouldn’t be something needed for a premium platform. Alternatives considered [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) Reason for choosing Squarespace Too many issues with plugin management. Something can broke out of nowhere for a plugin update Switched from [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) It could not allow us to manage event integration easily Review Source BR Becky R. Musician Entertainment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Beautiful website for two sides of business, mostly no issue" November 8, 2025 4.0 Overall built a beautiful website for two sides of my business that are connected. Some more advanced wishes not possible with the given templates but overall it’s great Pros I like how great my website looks. I have so many compliments and it was relatively easy to figure out myself. Cons It’s somewhat complicated when you need to do more advanced features. I have to google and chatgpt for answers where It should be more intuitive and user friendly to navigate. Or have more easily available info. Switched from [My Music Staff](https://www.capterra.com/p/148451/My-Music-Staff/) Builder was limited and I wanted a more professional design Review Source Dionne Joy M. CEO Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Squarespace delivers a smooth, visually impressive website‑building experience." December 27, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with Squarespace it that it delivers a smooth, visually impressive website‑building experience. It’s ideal for users who want a professional‑looking site without diving into code or juggling multiple tools. Customizable platform, its design quality, reliability, and ease of use make it a strong choice for portfolios, small business sites, and online stores. Pros What I like most and appreciate about Squarespace is how polished and consistent everything feels, with lots of features with great customer support. Pages load quickly, the interface is clean, and the mobile‑responsive designs require almost no extra work. For small businesses, creatives, and entrepreneurs Cons What I like least about Squarespace has limits when it comes to flexibility. While the drag‑and‑drop editor is easy to use, it can feel restrictive if you want very specific layouts, newsletters or advanced customizations. Pricing is also on the higher side compared to some competitors, especially if you need advanced features. Review Source FS Felicia S. Executive Team Leader Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "What’s Good in Squarespace" August 28, 2025 5.0 Pros Squarespace allocates free CSS templates and only involves drag and drop editor functionality to create and design websites and landing pages. Cons It has been easy for me to create highly responsive websites without coding with the hep of Squarespace, thus I can’t complain. Review Source BK Bri K. Marketing Directior Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Worth the Investment" March 16, 2026 4.0 Pros I really enjoy how easy it is to use Squarespace. There are a variety of templates to chose from, so you can find something to fit your brand and needs, and I like that it's easier to add custom elements as well. I also think that it's pretty easy to add your domain to their website. Overall, it's a great value for your money and helps organizations of all sizes get their name out there. Cons One of the downsides to Squarespace is the payment feature. Although it is easy to collect payments through Squarespace's processor, it would be better for nonprofits if we could integrate with other payment processing servers. The other con is customer support can be confusing. In a day and age where companies are leaning into AI, it would be easier if we could have a person to talk to instead of endless FAQ page. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Performance Marketing Specialist Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to Use Website Builder" October 8, 2025 4.0 Very positive. For the price it is, it's an amazing way to design a slick, professional website that functions as you'd wish. Pros It's very easy to use and build a website. For those with no technical web development experience, they offer a variety of templates that make it simple and fast to design a nice looking website. It's fairly priced too. You can set your branding guidelines (colors, logo, etc.) and it incorporates it into the page layouts and templates seamlessly so it matches your brand. Cons Because it's easy to use and quite basic, it lacks more advanced customizations. For example, you can't make a page look completely different on mobile from desktop. They generally have to be the same designed page which doesn't always look best. Review Source KG Kimberly G. Owner Veterinary Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Website Software for Non-Coders" December 18, 2025 5.0 I love Squarespace. I manage many websites for my own businesses, for family, and for clients. Hands-down it’s the best website for someone who doesn’t know or doesn’t want to learn coding. Pros Squarespace is an easy to use all-in-one platform. It produces clean, fresh websites with a few clicks. There are numerous ways to go deeper for fine tuning a website. I find it easy to show clients how to end up managing their own website. Cons The templates are great, but they are limited. Some of the individuals modules aren’t as strong as I’d like. The ‘Menu’ module for restaurants or pricing is complex. It doesn’t allow much variability in use. Alternatives considered [Wix Studio](https://www.capterra.com/p/264956/Wix-Enterprise/) Reason for choosing Squarespace Squarespace is designed for intuitive use. It functions as you think it would function. The quality of the templates outpaces Wix. Review Source BU Bailey U. Founder and Web Developer Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "What You Need to Know about Squarespace During Evaluation" April 9, 2025 4.0 Squarespqce streamlines the entire process of creating, designing and hosting websites and emails. Pros Squarespace is a coding free platform that enables me to create professional and stunning websites. In addition, Squarespace allocates hosting and domain services in one central place. Cons I only dislike that Squarespace lack free plan since it is not an open-source digital experience program. Switched from [Divi](https://www.capterra.com/p/201958/Divi/) Squarespace offers a wide array of web builder tools unlike some digital experience alternatives. Review Source CK Caroline K. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "My take on Squarespace" January 1, 2026 3.0 Smooth and empowering—helps individuals and small businesses go live with good-looking, fully functional websites fast. For those with more demanding or specialized needs, there are some tradeoffs in terms of flexibility and long-term scalability. Pros It balances powerful, professional design with simplicity and accessibility. That means less fuss, less learning curve, and a site you can actually be proud of, even if you’re not a developer. Cons Sstarts to feel restrictive just when you want more freedom, complexity, or the ability to scale. Plus, it’s hard (and sometimes costly) to leave after you’re invested. These are tradeoffs for stability and ease of use. Review Source RM Robert M.

July 20, 2025 5.0 With Squarespace has been a great experience .Safe ,easy ,quick and elegant website builder platform. Pros I love best the templates of Squarespace which are elegant and give one maximum control over the look and feel of the site .Offer easy to use drag and drop builder. Allow easy customizations of structural elements for example online store layout. Ability to create multiple high quality professional looking sites . Cons This product is safe and great ,cannot recall any day it has ever failed to meet the expectations and be slow . Review Source SK Susan K. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great product for easy and quick website launch." June 9, 2025 5.0 Overall, we had a very pleasant experience with Squarespace, especially with the Acuity scheduler integration. The only two reasons we switched to a different platform for hosting our site was because a web designer friend of mine asked to help us with our website so we could work on creating some paywall aspects and other multimedia offerings. The other reason was because we no longer needed Acuity because our clinic upgraded to a full-feature EHR program to do notes, scheduling, and payment. Pros It was very helpful to have templates to design our website; without a specific designer, we were able to launch a full-functioning website within 1 day of starting. Cons I wish there were more options to change the font and sizes of text, there were only a few options to choose between headers, titles, etc. Switched from [Practice Fusion](https://www.capterra.com/p/266915/Practice-Fusion/) Practice fusion increased their price beyond what I thought the service/product was worth. Their notetaking and scheduling were very clunky and not user-friendly. Review Source MO Molly O. CEO Consumer Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Before you hire a professional website builder...." March 22, 2025 5.0 I feel like I had a very positive experience with Squarespace and I'd definitely recommend this platform to others who are looking to get their website built out themselves. I know that I am happy with the site that I built and I think before you go hire a professional, you should first check out Squarespace! Pros I love how quick it is to learn and how easy it is to use. The system provides a great help and how to section but it really isn't needed too often. The options for creating a website that is unique to your brand is vast. I appreciate the 'non-code' version of website building because it made me feel confident doing the build myself. The AI features and the pre-designed pages are AMAZING. It took all the work and time consuming details out of the picture but still allowed your site to become unique. Cons My only con would be just having to do it myself. I know the site is designed for that purpose but everything else was pretty easy to figure out. I have had sites built out before so I do think the website builders that use coding are more complicated to use but they do offer more options and customization on the back end where the coding would be. For example I didn't care for the preset color designs but I was able to find one that I was happy with. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Reason for choosing Squarespace I wanted to try something new. I used Wix prior to WordPress and I know what they could and couldn't do. I liked the 'done for you' part that Squarespace offers and how quickly the pages could be put together. I have been doing this a long time and I know what I like and Squarespace offered that right away instead of me having to envision in, build it, and then complete it myself or hire someone else to do it for me. Switched from [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) Too complicated to use. I didn't know how to change photos, content, add banners, or even do really anything with the site. I was frustrated and hands off and it showed as the engagement on the site was really just lacking. I am hoping this change will be positive and allow me to really take back control of the site.

Managing Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great functionality, easy to update" May 10, 2025 5.0 Overall experience is excellent. I have used their websites for almost 10 years now and find it works a lot better for me than a wordpress site. Pros We use squarespace for all our sites. The tools are intuitive, easy to use and allow us to update our sites easily and regularly. Cons The page upload speed is slow with messes a bit with our ability to access some google tools. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/)[WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) Reason for choosing Squarespace Pricing, ease of use, quality of sites, customer service Switched from [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) We need to update constantly. Information is our product, so needing a developer to make every change just wasnt practical. Our site also looked outdated very quickly.

I was able to get a business site up and running quickly and have it look professional. It was extremely user-friendly and sleek in design. Pros Squarespace allowed me to create a visually appealing website in a simple manner. Rather than being complicated and time consuming, Squarespace gave me aesthetic options that were functional and practical for small business website. Cons There were some design elements that would have been nice to have or in a sleeker capacity but they were seemingly not developed yet by Squarespace. Basically there was a lack of 3rd party integrations available.

I love getting the traffic reports so that I know what social media posts are leading people to our website and where they are located. Pros Squarespace is simple to use. There are lots of tutorials out there. By using Squarespace our website looks professional. Cons A few areas for improvement are as follows: First, when switching the desktop view to the phone view it is not intuitive and you almost have to recreate each. Second, when loading photos I always have to resize to a much smaller size file adding an extra steps. Review Source DRS Daniel R. S.

September 15, 2025 5.0 I love square space because I can send contracts and proposals and estimates to clients all for free on their online platform.

President Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A great site for creating websites with the capability to sell products and creating newsletters to keep your constituents informed." September 23, 2025 4.0 Squarespace overall is a great platform to build a website for multiple different uses. It blends everything you would need into a neat simple package with very little downside. Pros They dropped their prices while keeping the same multitude of page layout, social media features, and ability to buy/donate straight from the site. They sell domains on square space so you don't have to go anywhere Cons It can be confusing to use thankfully they have helpful videos but not enough for page design. You have to buy the feature to accept payment on your site which is necessary for credibility. Review Source MM Michele M. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Squarespace: Value for money" December 10, 2025 5.0 Pros Love how the layouts look. Love that they are always improving the product. Love that the blog post can seamlessly be turned into an email campaign. Cons Maybe if they had more features?

July 10, 2025 5.0 Squarespace is a wonderful host for my website, and all of the tools and templates make it easy to build and manage a website. I had some help on the initial build to ensure that it looked professional and aligned with my brand identity, but the tools make it very easy for me to maintain and update. It's reasonably priced, as well, and the hosting is very reliable--they make renewing my domain registrations very easy as well. Pros Squarespace is easy to use, very intuitive, and offers a lot of features and templates that make it relatively easy to have a robust, technologically up-to-date website with lots of opportunities to interact with your visitors. Cons I did not love the email marketing features--they are decent, but I found other companies that offer more robust options. Fortunately, Squarespace offers integration with many of them that makes it a seamless switch. Switched from [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) My brand developer suggested I switch because Squarespace offered more options for my site to look polished and professional.
