Great for Freelance Web Designers!

Making bold and impactful websites is incredibly achievable through Squarespace. Squarespace in general feels uncluttered, approachable, and non-intimidating to use. I also appreciate how Squarespace includes the fundamental tools of a business. However, this may be too basic if you need a more robust system. Many integrations can help with more functionality but may come at an additional cost, may not match the branding of your website, and too many extensions can be overwhelming to keep track of.

PROS

As a designer and developer, I enjoy designing on Squarespace because of its minimalistic and simple aesthetic. The menu is easy to navigate, and the editor is intuitive. Their new fluid editor update makes it easier than ever to create unique designs. It's fun to play and experiment with code blocks using the custom code feature. I like how CSS changes are live as you're typing. Squarespace also has a great community in its forums. The forum has many people who are always willing to help with anything. Client handoff is especially easy. After the design is finished, the client can manage and update their website without needing web development experience.

CONS

Because of how simple and basic Squarespace is, some features can be limiting. Email Marketing might be the biggest drawback. The extra cost for email marketing is not worth it compared to other platforms that offer most of the features for free. Selling digital products also has limited options. Third-party plugins and extensions can help with extra functionality, but too many can be overwhelming. Custom designing can be challenging because you need extra tools and willpower to target certain elements.

Reasons for switching to Squarespace

Squarespace is easy for clients to update and use, has all the necessities for an online business, and you can make custom coding in trial mode.

Squarespace is a great option for having your website, but could improve

Squarespace is a good option if you are looking for a affordable and easy to use website program, but of course it has some opportunities of improvement. If you are looking for a complex website maker with different styles between pages and stuff, you can probably will struggle here.

PROS

I like the style of the platform, how do they give you the analytics, makes them easy to understand, see, and read.

CONS

I think the platform is good enough but there are some resources or tools they have that are not the best. For a website, if one of your pages you want to change the whole style or colours, is not possible because it will change the whole website style
