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.
