Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • As a designer, I love how Squarespace allows you to design pages that are beautiful and functional quickly. Regardless of your design background, the interface is self-explanatory and very intuitive. I appreciate that what you see on the back end of your website is what you get.
  • Squarespace is easy to navigate. In general, the interface is clean and simple to use. There aren't an overwhelming amount of options.
  • Drag and Drop designer Premium templates and themes SEO friendly - better than other website designers Customer service is good Offers a free trial
  • Squarespace basically manages online presence of our company. Various templates are available to choose and we are ready to post. Drag and drop elements saves time. Customer support available 24/7. Creates an impactful stories. Extremely flexible and easy to use software.
  • Analytics and built-in SEO is handy integrated features. The whole structure building process is a simple drag and drop. Prebuilt templates are professional and appealing designed. It supports custom fonts and mobile-friendly web designing.

Cons

  • After a number of years, we moved away from this for our primary school website, as we wanted something we could build out into a dynamic app as well. I wish there was a way to make modifications to pages without them being immediately live.
  • Should you have a specific question, it can be difficult to immediately reach customer service.
  • Subscription price is very expensive and not ideal for long term.
  • Sometimes speed is low otherwise everything is perfect, good software.
  • Overall I had an outstanding experience with Squarespace.
