What is Squarespace?

There are many website builders. But do you know which one is the easiest? Well, in my opinion, it’s Squarespace. You can find a lot of exciting and stunning designs.

What’s even better? Like Wix, it’s also a drag-and-drop editor. That’s why anyone who is not confident about creating their website from scratch can use it.

But here is the catch: it’s not free. They provide a 14-day free trial. This can give everyone enough time to see how it works.

Now, the first step that you need to take is to tell them what your site is about. You also need to tell them your goals, and then you just need to click on ‘Finish,’ and tada — you are done with your first step.

But before moving forward, let’s find out its benefits. The most important benefit is that no coding is required. But if you want to use custom code, that’s possible as well. You can use third-party plugins too. The best part is there are a lot of e-commerce features. Another important benefit of Squarespace is that if you choose the Commerce plan, you don’t need to pay any transaction fees. You will also get customer accounts.

Apart from this, there are other integrated tools in Squarespace. They include email campaigns, faculty scheduling, member areas, and Tock.

If you are concerned about the SEO of the website, then don’t be. This is because there are a lot of built-in SEO capabilities in Squarespace. Additionally, it also has metadata and sitemaps. Not only this, it includes advanced analytics for web performance and decision-making.

There are also tools that help website designers work with their clients side by side. If you find this difficult, no problem at all. You can edit contributor permissions to enable this feature. The best part is that there is 24/7 support in Squarespace!

Now, for those who don’t like to work on their website, there’s a Squarespace mobile app as well. The best thing is that Squarespace supports multiple pages. In fact, at times, it can support up to 1,000 pages.

Squarespace is well defined for web construction works from a consulting firm to a small business to B2B landing. If you starting from a SEO point: develop audience, learn competitors, define keywords - your webdesign structures can be light and useful. And give high rank results.
Price is good, as for the stability and options.
