Squarespace is a software as a service-based content management system, integrated website builder, blogging platform, hosting service, commerce platform, and domain name registrar. The system allows individuals and businesses to create and maintain websites, blogs, and online stores. The services are only available bundled; they are not available separately. Hosting by Squarespace is mandatory: individuals and businesses cannot host their own Squarespace sites.

Squarespace makes beautiful products to help people with creative ideas succeed. Our platform empowers millions of people from individuals and local artists to entrepreneurs shaping the world’s most iconic businesses to share their stories and create an impactful, stylish, and easy-to-manage online presence.

Flexibility

Less flexibility, but all tools and functions are closely controlled, monitored and tested to ensure they are up 100% of the time.

Ease of Use

A very user-friendly, drag & drop website builder. You can build a website without knowing how to code or hiring anyone for help.

User Support

Dedicated support team with organized tutorials. You can also get help through live chat or email.

Ongoing Maintenance

Very little – Squarespace is a “closed” environment so they control all aspects of the platform and manage all the updates and maintenance work for you.

Pricing

4 premium plans, ranging from $12 per month to $40 per month.

Security

Now many people don’t think about this, but having a secure place to host is extremely important. In the past we have had issues with WordPress allowing loopholes in some of their widgets that offer opportunities for the not so great people to sneak their way in.

Integrated E-Commerce

Super simple integration with Stripe and PayPal makes it a breeze to list and sell products online using Squarespace. It is perfect for delivering digital downloads (for free or paid), selling physical products, managing shipping and more.

Social Integration

Many sites offer functionality to link to social sites, but we love the customized widgets that make the social streaming feel like it is apart of the original design. We have easily linked Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest. P.S. You really ought to just follow us across the board!

All-in-One Platform

Squarespace has all their features built-in. Everything is Squarespace owned and developed. That means that everything just works. There’s no figuring out if this app or extension is compatible. There’s no troubleshooting or topics outside their Knowledge Base and/or customer support.

Modern Templates

Each Squarespace template design has been crafted by our world-class design team. Our template designs are created with modern browsers and mobile devices in mind, and employ the latest HTML, CSS and Javascript techniques.

Drag-and-Drop Management

Add and organize your images instantly. You can drag images directly from your desktop onto your browser window.

Gallery Blocks

Squarespace Gallery Blocks can be added anywhere on your website and offer hundreds of presentation variations, including slideshows, sliders, grid layouts, and more. Integrated lightbox functionality allows for full-browser-sized imagery.

Audio Collections

Upload music directly to Squarespace and easily share your albums with a beautiful, integrated player and album art display. Squarespace recognizes the metadata of your audio files, so information like song title and artist name will be populated automatically.

Socially Connected

Link accounts from Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Tumblr, Dropbox, Foursquare, Instagram, Flickr, 500px, Youtube, Vimeo, Linkedin, Dribbble, Github, Pinterest, SoundCloud, Spotify, Bandsintown, Behance, Codepen, Medium, Meetup, Rdio, Twitch, Vevo, Vine, Vsco, or Yelp. You can also link to your iTunes or Google Play Store.

Site Annotations

The Squarespace interface and content now live side-by-side within the browser; handy annotations appear on everything that you might want to change on your Squarespace site.

Single Page Solutions

The Cover Page builder, complete with 10 new templates of its own, can be added to any existing Squarespace site and is perfect for creating quick landing pages to communicate a personal identity or promote a new product.

LayoutEngine Based Editing

As with all Squarespace pages, all Content Block types (text, image, gallery, video, audio, etc.) are available for use within each blog entry.

No Plugins Necessary

Squarespace has been publishing sites on the web for more than a decade, and includes all known best practices for SEO without the need for additional plugins.

Full Code Control

Change everything from the opening doctype tag to the footer.
