Solid solution until you need a multilingual site

7 /10

What differentiates Squarespace from other similar products?

Squarespace is a valid solution for small business owners willing to set up a website in no time. It has beautifully designed templates and a range of features that meet the requirements of solopreneurs, business owners, small companies.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The drag and drop interface works quite well when designing your page, I like it.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Squarespace is ok, but it lacks a proper multilingual mechanism. There is no easy way to create a website in more than one language. Their online help offers a few workarounds, but they're not suitable for anyone willing to expand their business internationally.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Try Squarespace for a few days and see if it really meets your needs. If you need a frequently updated site or a site in more than one language, there are better options on the market.

Pros

Reliable
Efficient Service
Caring
Respectful

Cons

Slower Product Innovation
Commodity Features
Less Effective Service

Easy to use but bland templates

8 /10

What differentiates Squarespace from other similar products?

The ease of use, even for people that aren't familiar with either web builders or websites in general, is vastly superior to other solutions such as Wix. It's very hard to actually make a bad looking website in Squarespace, even when you don't know what you're doing.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Being able to quickly train my clients how to customize, use and implement their website has been a huge game-changer. It's very easy to use and it doesn't take long until they get the hang of it.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Every Squarespace site that I've seen looks like every other Squarespace site that I've ever seen. I find that even with the templates that you can use, most of the sites generally just muddle together so it's hard to make your site stand out amongst others.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Be ready to have a simple, but clean website. Heavily customize it to make it stand out and dig into tutorials and how-to articles.

Pros

Continually Improving Product
Reliable
Enables Productivity
Trustworthy
