HR Manager Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "DIY Website and Domain" September 12, 2018 5.0 Overall, Squarespace is a HUGE money saver for those who do not need in depth functionality on their website and may just want a simple landing page with some information/contact buttons. Pros I have no experience in web development, but Squarespace made it SO simple to create our website and domain with just a few clicks of a button. It is VERY user friendly and the templates to start your website are easily customizable. The ability to purchase a domain and ease of connected a new domain to our site was mind blowing. Cons For a beginner, it takes a little trial and error to figure out exactly which design options apply to which pages. I think Squarespace is meant for the average joe with little developer experience, which limits some deeper functionality. Review Source MJ MJ J. Managing Partner Publishing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Squarespace is the best choice for growth hacking your website" September 17, 2018 5.0 Pros Multiple blogs! Having a website with multiple blogs, each with their own rss feed, allowed us to quickly and easily rank our website first in Google search results and allowed us to reach an Alexa ranking of under 900k within a few short months. This was a feature that not even Wordpress could provide us with. Cons It would be nice if there were more template designs to choose from. It's a bit limited and there aren't really any strong options for creating ecommerce stores or community websites like Buzzfeed-type sites. Review Source Nachi S. Head Personal Development & Life Coach Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A website builder that is pretty" July 5, 2018 5.0 Pros Squarespace is pretty, one can make a website that fits with what their vision is and it will look professionally done. While I do have a professional create my website, it is incredibly easy for me to go in and create extra pages, or anything I'd like without any design experience. Wonderful tool. Cons I wish there was a capability to do something about the white space on the sides of the webpages... sometimes it does kill the vibe of the page. Review Source FÇ Ferhat Ç. Project Manager Machinery Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Squarespace has excellent third party integrations" October 21, 2022 5.0 Pros My experience with Squarespace is quite fine since it offers a quite comprehensive infrastucture for us. Cons Although their current third party integrations are quite good, they still needs to increase them in number. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer NOC/Devops Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Bang for your Buck" March 5, 2019 4.0 Pros It is good bang for your buck, good functionality and features. Cons Uptime is not great, and there is no SLA or reimbursement for downtime. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Groups Director Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best-looking, simplest, and most powerful template website builder that I've found. " March 8, 2018 5.0 Pros The templates, combined with What-you-see-is-what-you-get editing (drag and drop) makes it incredibly easy to make a fantastic website without coding at all. Cons There isn't much that I dislike... the only thing I wish could get better would be a longer free trial for the average user. Squarespace Circle members receive a 6-month free trial, but for a new organization getting a Squarespace site started, it's only a 2-week trial - which isn't long enough to get it off the ground. Review Source Jay B. Owner Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Probably the best web host on the market for those without an HTML Background" September 11, 2018 5.0 Overall SquareSpace has always been a fantastic service. I used it over the course of 3 years for my own website and never had a single issue with it outside of some customization options I felt the service was lacking. At the end of the day SquareSpace is for users who need a clean looking website, with minimal HTML/CSS knowledge. If you're looking for a completely customizable system this is not for you. If you want something super easy to work with, then stop right now and start a SquareSpace account. Pros Ease of Use WYSIWYG Editor Back End Features Analytics Tools Cons Lacks some more in depth coding features Locked into templates Review Source KO Kathie O.

Pros It is so versatile and easy to use. I love how the blogs can be changed up and how much I can even add to my blog!! The SEO is awesome too!!! Cons I honestly can’t think of anything!!! It is so easy to use and the cost is the best. I really like everything about this! Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/)[Kajabi](https://www.capterra.com/p/154682/Kajabi/) Reason for choosing Squarespace Definitely the cost and the ease of creating a high quality website and blog!!!!! Review Source YS Yolonda S. Digital Marketing Professor & Entrepreneur Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quickly Design your Site " April 20, 2022 5.0 Squarespace is my first option for business owners on a lean budget and with little to no technical experience. They can easily update their site and blogs without the fear of breaking the site. It is also easy to set up a shop for customers to purchase goods and services. Pros Squarespace is easy to set up and very user-friendly. Most importantly, users don't have to worry about security and cyber attacks. Squarespace does the heavy lifting to ensure that sites are safe. This is very important for start-ups and small businesses that don't have the money to pay tech teams to maintain and monitor their site. Cons I wish Squarespace had more templates to choose from but overall great product for a great price. Switched from [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) Not ideal for security and blocking cyberattacks.

Chief Do-Gooder Public Relations and Communications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Proud Squarespace User" January 16, 2019 4.0 I've been using Squarepace for just over two years, and love it. In fact, my web designer and I just did a blog post and Facebook Live about the pros and cons. We're both fans, and I'm happy with my website being hosted here. It's pretty easy to use, has a lot of capabilities, and really like the company as well. I've recommended this platform many times, and will continue to do so! Pros Once you get the hang of it, it's very easy to use. And they have awesome customer service for when you have questions, as well as a pretty comprehensive knowledge base. I like that I can easily update my site on my own without outside help. Cons I've just started using the e-commerce functions over the past six months or so, and it's fine for now, but I wish it was more robust to grow with me. Who knows, though! They do make a lot of improvements every year. Review Source CH Carly H. Sole proprietor Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Web Design without Technical Experience" March 17, 2020 5.0 Overall squarespace is I believe the best option for those who need a website in order to run their business or share their content but don't have the capital or the expertise to hire someone else Pros When I actually love most about squarespace is the restrictions that puts on me in terms of design. It prevents me from choosing random fonts throughout the website and protects the integrity of my look across various pages. Continuity is not something that I am good at as an amateur web designer. Squarespace protects me from inconsistency. Cons The web design site itself can sometimes bog down my computer greatly and prevent me from running other apps or tabs in the background. Review Source AA Alizabeth A. Public Relations Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Absolutely Love It " November 11, 2022 5.0 Pros I love the ease of use and customer support. Cons Sometimes the system can be a bit confusing. Review Source Anna A. Account Manager Graphic Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Very Helpful For Simple Web Design" December 26, 2018 5.0 I love Squarespace! Literally a life saver! Pros I love that you don't have to use a lot of coding but you still get a lot of flexibility! The hosting is taken care of for you and the customer service is AMAZING! So many good experiences here! Cons There are some things that you can't really customize. Review Source AR Alissa R. Owner/Operator Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for small business" June 5, 2021 5.0 Squarespace gets my website noticed - most customers come from the internet. They have the features so that I get a custom submission form to my email and can easily interact with potential customers. Pros The beautiful templates made it easy to work with someone to design my website. Now, after 6 years I am able to go in myself and update and make changes relatively easily for a non-tech person. Cons I think the biggest con is that it has a lot of versatility and options and I don't know enough to be able to utilize them. I need a Squarespace for Dummies, lol! Review Source Dylan S. Insurance Agent / Assistant Office Manager Insurance Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Small business works great!" October 3, 2018 5.0 This is the second system we used for a website and we are very pleased with this so far. We have been using it for just about 2 years. Pros This website replaced our previous GoDaddy website and we love the modern design and ease of use. The price is great too, we pay an annual fee and customize the website ourselves. You can pay more for better features, but we do not sell anything online, so a basic website is perfect for us. This provides unlimited space and pages as well. Cons Since this is a template based site, sometimes this limits what you can do, unless you know how to get around this. We have been completely happy with the overall use of this product. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer PMA Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "WordPress's Sleeker, Cooler Older Brother" March 15, 2020 5.0 Pros Squarespace is another CMS (much like WordPress), but what I feel makes it better than Wordpress is the fact that it is better built to become an ecommerce market place. Design features allow easier integration with the various tools and softwares you would use to create an online store, serving as a good choice for any start-up ecommerce business. Cons Squarespace is somewhat expensive for those who don't have a solid budget for web store maintenance. WordPress is the cheaper (and sometimes free) alternative I would recommend using if money is a pain point. It ultimately depends on your need for a CMS - if you're blogging or putting together a digital portfolio then WordPress is the best choice. If you're creating an online store or want something a bit more 'official' looking then Squarespace is the CMS for you. Review Source TL Tim L. Owner/Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Convenient" November 15, 2022 4.0 To this point Squarespace has provided me with a much needed website to point clients and potential clients to. Pros Squarespace made its software easy to use and will conveniently integrate with other features I may need in the future. Cons There are times I have thought I would like a more customizable template but I has not been necessary up to this point. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Reason for choosing Squarespace I chose Squarespace over the other products due to possible future integration of online store. Review Source KG Katie G. Physiotherapist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great, easy to use content management system" July 1, 2021 5.0 Squarespace has allowed me to take control of my website, create and edit pages without the need for a developer. I'm pleased with how the website looks and have had plenty of positive feedback. Pros The user end of this software was very easy to navigate around as a non-tech individual. Lots of information online about how to implement certain tools and usually easy enough to find what you need. Cost is very affordable for a new business, with most features required available. Cons The option to have drop down navigations on my site is not very aesthetic, so I have had to shorten my menu and put more onto each page, which isn't an ideal customer journey. Reason for choosing Squarespace Mainly due to cost and ease of use comparatively Review Source MJ Morgan J. Boutique owner Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Squarespace wins for convenience " February 1, 2022 4.0 Squarespace works great for launching quickly & it’s likely more affordable for most . Pros Very easy to setup and maintain very nice templates! Cons Can be a little difficult to maintain without training. Switched from [WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/) Was looking for something more convenient & sleek Review Source YV Yva V. Founder Food & Beverages Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good for design terrible for subscriptions " February 2, 2021 4.0 For designing a web page is exceptional, for subscription products is really bad Pros Square space is made for design. You can design a really nice web page fast and easy. This was built around design and then they add the e-commerce functionality, that is why the commerce lack many features. Cons Subscription services are really bad. Difficult to manage in bulk. EVerything has to be done customer by customers. Changing the paayment date is ok, but if you want to modify to a previous date than the one in the system is not possible. For example. If your subscription payment is due in 1 month but you want to charge them in 3 weeks is not possible. The customization of the products is really bad too. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/)[Shopify](https://www.capterra.com/p/83891/Shopify/) Reason for choosing Squarespace Better pricing and the email functionality Switched from [Subbly](https://www.capterra.com/p/144363/Subbly/) I change to subbly only for the payments. Review Source Jessica M. Curriculum Coordinator Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Make beautiful websites without knowing anything about coding or design!" December 3, 2018 5.0 I used SquareSpace as the website for my business. It was a very simple design that really just provided me with an opportunity to have a info page about my product, have my personalized URL, and have a way for my customers to easily contact me. The yearly price to have a custom URL and to have a very simple info site was very affordable as a small business just starting out and suited my needs perfectly. I only left SquareSpace when I decided I needed an eCommerce solution and Etsy's Pattern provided a more affordable option than SquareSpace's. Pros It is very easy to use and you can create a beautiful website and have it published in less than an hour (if you are doing something rather simple and straightforward). Even if you aren't a designer or terribly tech savvy, you can end up with something very professional looking just using their templates or using a few images or graphics you may already have. Cons I feel there are a limited number of features and options for customization. I found myself wanting to customize it a bit more and was a bit frustrated by some template limitations. Review Source RA Rachael A. Copywriter Consumer Electronics Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy for Beginners" January 22, 2019 4.0 I have a Squarespace website, but have never tried Wix or GoDaddy to create a site so it's the only one I'm experienced with as of now. Overall easy to use, but I had to Google A LOT of steps along the way. Pros I am not a web designer by any means, but Squarespace offers some great templates and is inexpensive. I also like their free analytics tools to help you see your traffic without using any external services/software. Cons There's a lot of research involved (and frequently searching their FAQs) for various features of the site. I'm not crazy about the fact that some of the coolest features are exclusive to certain templates and not available everywhere (like SEO meta descriptions, which seem necessary). Review Source Kemal Eddin K. photographer Philanthropy Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to use " August 9, 2021 5.0 Overall, Squarespace it's the easy way to make your own website without worrying about technical difficulties, gets the job done and looks extremely good, Squarespace wıll save your time ,some times you are stuck with what they have, but you have to look to the positive aspects that it come with it like the smooth experience which Squarespace give us. Pros Making website so easy and enjoyable, helps you create what you need, great experience with Squarespace you can edit a template and build your own website , ıf you don't have the ability to design its help you to do it. Cons customer support is good and fast they trying their best to help you , The ability to switch between templates whenever you want, Review Source CP Courtney P. Office Manager Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Pros & Cons of Templates" May 25, 2021 4.0 Generally my experience has been good. I work in a number of platforms in addition to Squarespace (including WordPress). I prefer using other website building platforms when I have total control over all edits. When I am building a site and then passing it on to someone with less experience Squarespace is a good product. Pros The templates Squarespace offers are beautiful. The drag and drop functions makes creating an attractive website very easy. A great "plug & play" product that nearly anyone could use to create a website quickly. Cons True customization is very challenging if not completely impossible within the templates. Even when selecting "blank page" --building the page still requires selecting from a limited number of blocks.
