Squarespace Review

PROS: Squarespace provides more fascinating perks than WordPress. It helps in conveniently creating a site, as well as it offers flexible features for easy tweaks. It is very useful for me as a web designer, and almost all of my clients love the results they get when I use Squarespace. I even use it for my personal sites as well.

CONS: Better and new updates can make the blog feature more wonderful. However, as of now, it satisfies all my needs in creating websites.

PROS: Perfect web hosting platform. It is very convenient, features a clean interface, as well as it has fantastic templates.

CONS: I encounter some rough experiences when the platform goes very technical. This requires me to some tedious tasks to achieve desired results such as placements.

PROS: A convenient platform that offers cool templates, and won’t push you to buy few plugins for efficiently creating a great and optimized website. It features an excellent back-end experience, such as allowing you to make real-time editing without heavy coding, and you don’t need to click a preview button or copy your page’s URL for viewing. Moreover, it has a great free email campaign features that make creating templates and sending bulk emails easier, as well as efficient subscription process and pop-ups for signing-up. It helps in creating an SEO-friendly, mobile-friendly, and user-friendly site as well, which is a big key in bringing tons of visitors on my pages.

CONS: Upgrading from 7.0 to 7.1 requires you to change your domain and create a totally new site. I wish developers would remove such hassles soon enough. 7.0 is great, but I still want features and templates available on the newer one for better control over my site.

PROS: It offers all necessary things for creating a site, such as an email, newsletter, and analytics among other stuff. It even has useful data resources too. And it is very easy to use, as well as it is highly customizable.

PROS: Squarespace is user-friendly content management software that allows you to create personal websites for running your small businesses, blogs or you can use it to create your own online portfolio. It offers various types of design to choose from or you can create your own design according to your needs. The team behind this product is extremely helpful and always ready to help you.

CONS: It needs more data anlytics tool like tracking, info and more insights.

PROS: What I like most is its simplicity. It doesn’t require coding knowledge in order to make beautiful and eye-catching design. I’m self employed so I don’t have IT team behind me. It is essential for my business to run website and Squarespace wad recommended by a friend of mine. I can make new client intake form in order to send all information my mail so I don’t have to keep up with paper files.

CONS: They don’t use own payment processing for gift certificates and other so we have to use Stripe. So because of this reason I’m using Acuity Scheduling that use Square for their GCs, and I found our that it works perfectly.

PROS: Squarespace is easy to use, I like using its templates so I can start a website for my business. The templates and themes are nice looking and they offer wide palette of templates. They are mostly artistic purposes but it can be used for other businesses as well.

CONS: Squarespace is on the top of other website platform regarding to SEO, but unfortunately it doesn’t offer much flexibility. What I mean by that is that it doesn’t allow writing own metadata descriptions. When I talked to the customer service they have said that it is not something that will be changed in near future. In addition, the E-commerce side has limited functions so I’ll stick to Shopify for e-commerce purposes.

PROS: The platform is user-friendly and it is great even for beginners. As someone who runs photography business and travel blog this tool helps me to run both businesses smoothly. I can easily incorporate an e-commerece component to my websites and I can easily sell items by connecting it to Squarecash account. Also, it offers great set of templates and you can even create your own.

CONS: It is expensive solution, purchasing domain without including the live site is another $120 and with this platform a year cost is $20 per year. Also, they could work more on their customer service because I can hardly find someone to talk with during the business hours. They could make 24/7 service.

PROS: I like that I can easily run my website and streamline all the processes. It allows me to design my own templates. It has great interface and it meets my needs. Through its interface I can easily manage all the tasks regarding to my website.

CONS: It has some issues when it comes to SEO, they could make it more clear to its customers who SEO works within the platform, so if you search an SEO friendly website you’ll need to do some thorough research over SquareSpace’s basics because if you stick to their basic recommendations you cannot optimize it correctly.

PROS: Squarespace templates are modern, good looking and professional. I like that they really care about my websites to look professional and secure. They even offer SSL certificates for encryption plus HSTS. It offers built-in G-Suite for site and this is important for anywebsite because it makes you look even more professional. Furthermore, they provide built-in social media integration, SEO optimization, thorough analytics and full e-commerce platform. The price is affordable even though I cannot afford their annual package I’m still using its monthly package. The fact that I have my domain and to 2 emails for $26/month is blessing.

CONS: I don’t have complaints about this platform.

We are a small boutique web design agency that has recently started using Squarespace to develop small business sites for our customers. To be honest it is perfect for our needs. The themes can be customised to make them look more original but not much changes are needed so we can develop sites in a fraction of the time of other CMS such as Wordpress. It has its limitations and its e-commerce functions are very limited compared to Shopify but it is reliable, Very quick with image rich sites compared to other out of the box CMS systems. Worth checking out if you a re a budding designer and want to build your own site. We have some samples of our work at www.insidermedia.com.au
