My Go-To Website Builder for Over A Decade

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Squarespace from other similar products?

I have used WordPress over the years and am impressed with how many features they have and the level of customization; however it's not as intuitive to use as SquareSpace. SquareSpace makes it wicked easy for people with various tech abilities to build up a website. You can use templates and edit those to your liking if you are a novice. Or you can go deeper into customization and HTML if you are a professional.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

How fast it is to go from nothing to a functional website. So simple for novice website builders to utilize for a quick launch. Also the customer support is the best I have experienced through a company, there is a reason they pride themsleves on their support.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I wish there was a bit more support for podcasters, I am migrating this aspect of my website to a hosting service. Understandable though since this isn't their target market.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Go for it. I have explored other website designers and have been coming back to SquareSpace for over a decade. Any time I have a new client I recommend they start or switch to SquareSpace.
