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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Once we set it up, it was incredibly easy to update text on our website. We wanted our marketing team to be able to make updates instead of having to go through a developer. We are a small business o we value efficiency.
  • The best thing about Webflow is the fact that it is able to design everything without spending all the time coding everything, it is a robust software that helps with the design aspect of beautiful websites and provide a structure that helps slowly build the website, with things like HTML and JavaScript, it also integrates fully responsive and helpful data that helps create with professionalism in mind, it helps understand the motives of each design and what it helps with in terms of engagement with the users, and the styles are very creative and can be customized to help with the branding of the business, it has a helpful drag and drop tool to help build faster and delete anything in case it is necessary, this tool is very useful because it makes everything so much easier and the designing of the page becomes more entertaining and intuitive, the information can be included with this feature and the results are done way faster.
  • It the easiest tool to build business and blog websites. It doesn't need coding to develop, so it's easy for anyone to use. Forms and surveys can also be developed. Simple drag and drop steps required for the development.

Cons

  • We have our site on Webflow and are undergoing a SOC-2 audit accreditation process for our company. We have hit a snag because SOC-2 requirements state we need certain headers on our website but Webflow is actually blocking us from being able to add the required headers. Their rationale is that we have to upgrade to "enterprise lite" for $15k annually in order to add the standard headers. For context, we added these headers to our product websites within minutes and achieved A+ ratings. Webflow is actually blocking us from being SOC-2 compliant unless we shell out $15k additional every year for the ability to add "custom" headers -- what they call "custom" are industry standard headers that any SOC-2 compliant website needs to have in place. Our website is a 9 page static website with just text. I would not say Webflow is secure or SOC-2 compliant given this experience, I would call them "SOC-2 optional" - and only an option if you pay 49x the regular price for a basic website.
  • It has its great limitations which is very understandable because it actually works without coding, and there is only so much one can do without having to use code. But overall, I think that Webflow is very good and it is constantly providing new tools in the new versions that they release, I would like to see more editing options to the different addition of multimedia in the websites, and I would like to be able to edit simultaneously with other coworkers or even just one more team member, which helps build faster, it would be really nice to be able to do this because it would increase collaboration between the members in the business, I don't want to just be able to edit myself at the same time, but other people too and help each other communicating what has to be done.
  • In my experience, Webflow is an outstanding tool to develop.
