" simplicity for beginners"
What do you like best about Squarespace?

I would suggest Squarespace for companies, business owners, or anybody who wishes to take a more simple technique to developing their site. Squarespace is an excellent suitable for novices who would choose to have the web production platform decide for you or those who desire something navigationally instinctual and easy.

What do you dislike about Squarespace?

There is no customer support phone assistance and some functions are just readily available on a minimal variety of design templates.

What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can develop my own plugins, styles, and tools and use it to my website for a particular appearance

"Wonderfully user-friendly website builder!"
What do you like best about Squarespace?

My favourite thing about Squarespace is the versatility - if you don't have a lot of coding experience, you can still create a basic website. However, if you have the knowledge, it still allows you to inject your own code so you can add some more advanced things to your website.

What do you dislike about Squarespace?

I completely understand why this is the case, but I would say that something I dislike is the support staff's rule that they never even try to help you with a problem if it remotely involves any code that you wrote yourself.

What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have used Squarespace for the past three years to run my tutoring business. It has allowed me to showcase everything about my business as well as allow students to book with tutors right online!

"An Artist Seeking A Voice In The Digital age Should Look No Further"
What do you like best about Squarespace?

I love the clean presentation provided by a loose display. The design details are well engineered for such low package rates.

What do you dislike about Squarespace?

The lack of coding on the user’s end for their site.

What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?

When referring your work to clientele or leads, it’s much more formal then Instagram and less serious than a domain made from scratch.

"Simplicity and Ease For the Small Businessperson"
What do you like best about Squarespace?

I have always appreciated squarespace's user interface and quality of design templates. Squarespace has always been a cut above other website building platforms to me because of the constant updating, and variety of complex and cutting edge websites ready to be customized.

What do you dislike about Squarespace?

The price is still significantly higher than some other platforms. While I have stayed with squarespace for years, the price has always been a point of disappointment. I also wish it was easier to embed video content into backgrounds across multiple templates, and the mobile previews and mobile design crossover were better integrated.

What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?

My business needs a website. Squarespace makes it easy for a novice web designer to build a visually pleasing place to showcase art, work, and portfolio items in a flattering and modern style. With a good eye and few hours to learn all the bells and whistles anyone can make a beautiful website in a matter of hours.

"Straight Forward and Complete Website Management"
What do you like best about Squarespace?

SquareSpace can be as simple or complex as the user wants to make it. It has a very straight forward graphical interface for layout design, but powerful analytical tools and customization abilities.

What do you dislike about Squarespace?

There are limited options for creating password protected parts of the website. In short, each page can be password protected but there is no ability to "stay logged in" across multiple pages or have customized logins for users.

What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use SquareSpace for our English and Spanish language websites, which has served as the primary point of contact for many of our clients.

"Fantastic platform for a polished web presence "
What do you like best about Squarespace?

The assortment of designs and ease of use help me get the look of a beautiful site without hours of work or the need to hire a designer. The interface to change the design/layout is effortless to navigate. Squarespace also updates their templates on a regular basis so you can keep your page looking fresh and on point with the current trends.

What do you dislike about Squarespace?

I don't have anything negative to say about Squarespace. I've been using them for about four years and don't see an end in sight. I guess the ability to generate contracts and invoices through my site, instead of just selling fix-priced items, would be nice. But that isn't a deal breaker for me by a long shot. I'm sure that would just increase the cost to use it, which I wouldn't like.

What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm creating an online presence to showcase my work and providing information on contacting me as well as my rates.

"Anyone can master website design with Squarespace"
What do you like best about Squarespace?

The ease of use of Square is the best. As someone in a marketing and communications field, saying anyone can master design is nothing something I take lightly. Squarespace makes design easy so the world has many more interesting and visually pleasing websites– GeoCities this is not! It's important to come to Squarespace account with content in-hand. You'll likely be impressed by all of their templates and would like to have your site completed as soon as possible. Squarespace isn't a replacement for nice content, come in knowing what you want to convey and use your account to achieve that goal.

What do you dislike about Squarespace?

When formatting text, Squarespace can occasionally have some issues in the user interface, it is difficult but not impossible to mirror formatting across the site. Calendar functions could use some help and some reservation options would be nice to build out options. We use our site as a source for current members and prospective members for a rowing organization, having expanded integration would help us segment our users.

What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?

Transitioned a rowing website from a lack-luster Wordpress template to Squarespace so people would actually use the site. We needed to combine a news site, blog, calendar and boat reservation system. Squarespace allowed us to bring what we needed into one central location. Our site (toledorowing.org) is nice and shiny.

"SquareSpace is the best for those looking for an inexpensive website"
What do you like best about Squarespace?

The best feature of Squarespace is the fact that anyone, even those without any web development experience whatsoever. 20 years ago, it was very considered a very desirable skill to be able to create a website. However, these days, the expected quality is much higher, and a high quality service such as Squarespace makes this possible.

What do you dislike about Squarespace?

While Squarespace offers a lot of options for growth, the only problem with the service is that it can quickly become expensive if you depend on their merchant system and build your entire business off of their service. I would say the service is better for businesses looking to make a simple and clean site, not a fully fledged e-commerce experience

What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?

Squarespace is what we used to primarily design our website for Harding Software. It has made the process dramatically easier, with the most notable benefit being that we did not have to hire a web developer to create a website. We avoided the issue of high costs by not hosting any of our transaction features on the website.

"Squarespace for life"
What do you like best about Squarespace?

I absolutely love using squarespace for our website. With not much background in web design, I have been able to create a beautiful, creative and unique website with Squarespace. It has been incredibly easy to learn and the resources available are fantastic.

What do you dislike about Squarespace?

Honestly I'm not sure there's much I dislike.

What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?

When starting our business, I was nervous about the website creation because I don't have background in that field. WIth Squarespace, I've been able to create a website with minimal knowledge of how to do so.

"Making Web Design Simple"
What do you like best about Squarespace?

I appreciate that Squarespace makes web designing easy while still allowing more customization than other competitors, such as Wix and Weebly. My websites are created simply and look professional. I understand basic web coding (HTML/CSS), which is a definite bonus when using this service. However, I think it would be possible to create a Squarespace website with little to no experience or knowledge and have few problems if any. I've been using Squarespace for over 2 years, and I have never needed to reach out to customer support. Most questions I have can be answered quickly with a simple Google search.

What do you dislike about Squarespace?

It does still lack some customization once you choose a template. For example, I chose a template that had the header sometimes black and sometimes white. I couldn't choose to have a black version of the logo on white headers and white logos on black headers.

What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to make updates and switch my entire website layout with great simplicity. In fact, I did a complete rebrand and website makeover in one weekend because of the simplicity of transfers through Squarespace.

"Great platform for a non-techie"
What do you like best about Squarespace?

I like that I can pretty simply make a website that doesn't totally suck, even though I know next-to-nothing about websites and nothing about coding. Also, the automatic mobile-friendly...I don't even know the word for it. But our site looks great on desktops, tablets, and mobile devices.

What do you dislike about Squarespace?

There are bumps in the road here and there, but they're mostly due to my ineptitude and lack of knowledge and experience.

What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our church's prior website was a mess and not mobile friendly. Now it's not a mess and looks good on mobile devices. I also like how easy it was to set up a podcast through Squarespace and get it hooked up with Apple podcasts and Google Play as well.

A clean website with an easy to navigate layout.
