So easy to build a website for my business!

What differentiates Squarespace from other similar products?

Squarespace has a variety of templates that are so easy to use once you make your selection. I was able to find a template that I liked and then plug in photos, text, and contact information very quickly. I'd never built a website before, but having this software made it simple for me. I also love that you don't have to be a web designer to use their templates and make a good-looking website.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

How easy it was to build the website. What originally sounded like a daunting task ended up being not only easy but also fun. It was fun to customize the website how I wanted it to look and to be able to play around moving things to different pages or spots on my website.

What do you dislike most about this product?

As I said, I'm not a website designer, so I was limited to the templates they had available. Squarespace does a nice job providing multiple options, but it would always be great to have more customizable choices and more templates to fit the look I'm going for. I was definitely satisfied with what I got for the price, but it did kind of feel like my website was a bit "cookie-cutter" looking compared to what I had seen other people produced who recommended Squarespace to me. That being said, I feel like what I got for the price I paid was well worth it for me.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Give it a shot. Make sure you explore all of the templates until you find the one that has the best feel for whatever product or service you're building a website for. It's not nearly as difficult as it sounds and the Squarespace team was very helpful if I had any questions or issues with my site.

What differentiates Squarespace from other similar products?

Squarespace allows different integrations for small businesses such as calendly, unsplash and hubspot. which is very usefull because if youre not a programmer you dont need to code anything.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The thing that i like the most is how user-friendly it is. even if you have zero experience in web design, the templates helps a lot in creating a great site at the fraction of the cost of hiring a web designer. this is why i feel this is a great tool for small business that are just starting out.

What do you dislike most about this product?

sometimes i wish i could customize some features without having to code. you may only customize features when you pay the full enterprise package.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

start small, then expand. sometimes people want to go big in the first iteration, or think a website is a finished product. digital products are NEVER a finished product, so iterate with the website, add features, remove others and always test it out with friends and clients. that's how you'll know you have a functional product.

Pros

Reliable
Enables Productivity
Trustworthy
Efficient Service
