<\/span>\n Squarespace scores extremely highly for creative professionals, and boasts impressive blogging tools. It features over 100 template designs which are fully adaptable to mobile devices, and visually, its websites are unmatched. Recently, vast improvements have been made in vital areas like UX, and the expanded feature list makes great value for money at &pound;17 per month for businesses. However, these incredible designs and templates mean Squarespace's sitespeed can be affected and this is definitely an area that needs improvement. The customisation of the site's features and functions could also be further improved, particularly when compared to Wix. <\/div>\n <span class=\"toggle-button\">\n Show <span class=\"more\">more<\/span><span class=\"less\">less<\/span> <\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n[vc_column_text show_in_index=&rdquo;true&rdquo; title_index=&rdquo;Squarespace web builder overview&rdquo; title_type=&rdquo;h2&Prime; title=&rdquo;Squarespace web builder overview&rdquo;]\n<h2>Squarespace web builder overview<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Squarespace stands out thanks to its <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/squarespace-WB-templates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cta-type=\"inline-link\">stylish, design-oriented templates<\/a><\/strong> &mdash; in fact, we&rsquo;ve concluded that it&rsquo;s the best for design flexibility out of all the web builders featured in our research, earning its mighty fine score of <strong>4.7 out of 5<\/strong> in this area. It also offers a competitive range of features, top-of-the-class support, and pricing options.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Indeed, some might find it more testing to use than other web builders.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That being said, <\/span>Squarespace<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> was found to be the <em>second<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/websites\/builders\/best-website-builders-uk\/\">best website builder for small businesses<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.

It scores a strong 4 out of 5 in this category. This is down slightly from its previous score of 4.4 out of 5 as its user interface is still relatively basic.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Features of particular note include its advanced website analytics and reporting functionality. You can track website visits, bounce rates, visitor geography, and traffic sources to name just a few. This is particularly useful if you want to monitor the performance of your website, and build a better picture of the users visiting.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Many other platforms such as Jimdo and 1&1 Ionos do offer this feature, but in an incredibly basic format with limited reporting functionality in comparison with Squarespace.<\/p>\n<p>Squarespace&rsquo;s <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/squarespace-WB-pricing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cta-type=\"inline-link\">Business plan<\/a><\/strong> also includes additional conversion and sales metrics, so you can monitor where your customers are coming from, and understand what it is your target audience wants from you. This will ensure you market your best sellers and discontinue products that aren&rsquo;t selling so well.<\/p>\n<p>Website analytics is a vital feature to have when it comes to web builders, as the whole point of building a business website is to attract visitors and keep them on your site, and without data to anaylse to help you determine how this is going, how can you improve?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Other noteworthy features that will be indispensable for small businesses include:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &ndash; Squarespace provides tips to help boost your site&rsquo;s ranking in search engines (which you can find in the editor sidebar) so it&rsquo;s easier for your site to get found online<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Squarespace for blogging<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &ndash; Squarespace&rsquo;s blogging portal is simple to get the hang of &ndash; and you can preview how your blog posts look before they go live &ndash; in fact, Squarespace is renowned for its blog functionality<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite its very strong website features score, particularly compared to competitors like <strong>Hostinger<\/strong> (2.5) and <strong>GoDaddy<\/strong> (3.4) some users have noted that Squarespace has fewer features than its competitors for a higher price, and when we say competitors we specifically mean Wix.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Wix is the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/Wix-WB-primary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cta-type=\"inline-link\">king of website features,<\/a><\/strong> and it shows with its score of 4.9 out of 5 in this category. You get access to over 300 apps on Wix&rsquo;s mid-range plan, as well as one free year of site booster and visitor analytics, all for just &pound;11 per month compared to Squarespace&rsquo;s &pound;17.<\/p>\n<h2>Design flexibility<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-156482 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/squarespace-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1177\" height=\"495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/squarespace-1.jpg 1177w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/squarespace-1-480x202.jpg 480w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/squarespace-1-640x269.jpg 640w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/squarespace-1-768x323.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1177px) 100vw, 1177px\">Squarespace is best known for its beautiful and<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/squarespace-WB-templates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-cta-type=\"inline-link\">flexible templates<\/a><\/strong>, so it&rsquo;s no surprise that it was number <strong>one<\/strong> in our research for design flexibility, scoring an impressive<strong> 4.7 out of 5<\/strong>. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">T<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">he web builder&rsquo;s slick, artistic template designs really allow you to make the site your own, and the finished product is sure to be unique. This score has remained constant since our last round of research, meaning Squarespace is dedicated to upholding the quality of its design functionalities.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you&rsquo;re a professional photographer, graphic designer, or creative, you&rsquo;ll likely feel in good hands with Squarespace. It offers over 1,000 site pages for those that need page after page of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/squarespace-WB-portfolio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cta-type=\"inline-link\">portfolio images<\/a><\/strong>, artwork, or photographs without worrying about maxing out on website space.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As well as this, even Squarespace&rsquo;s cheapest plan offers unlimited bandwidth and storage space, so you can upload to your heart&rsquo;s content without worrying about causing your site to crash or lag.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>And unlimited bandwidth is <em>incredibly<\/em> important for creatives with large amounts of portfolio work. This is something you&rsquo;ll get with all of Squarespace&rsquo;s plans, yet when it comes to the likes of Wix, you will have limited bandwidth until you pay for its unlimited plan.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s also important to mention one of Squarespace&rsquo;s powerful design features. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/squarespace-WB-FluidEngine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cta-type=\"inline-link\">Squarespace Fluid Engine<\/a><\/strong> offers intuitive web design through an array of functionalities. These include an advanced drag-and-drop smart grid that levels up the design process.<\/p>\n<p>Users can literally drag elements anywhere on the website, which is typically at least a little restricted with previous Squarespace software and competitors such as Wix.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Squarespace can really help you make one of the most stylish websites around. It offers a large selection of beautiful templates, which you can filter by industry or website type. Below are a few examples.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-148274 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Squarespace-template-food-480x343-1.png\" alt=\"Squarespace template food\" width=\"480\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Squarespace-template-food-480x343-1.png 480w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Squarespace-template-food-480x343-1-212x152.png 212w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Squarespace-template-food-480x343-1-160x115.png 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-148275 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Squarespace-template-fashion-480x351-1.png\" alt=\"Squarespace template fashion\" width=\"480\" height=\"351\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-148276 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Squarespace-template-home-480x357-1.png\" alt=\"Squarespace template home\" width=\"480\" height=\"357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Squarespace-template-home-480x357-1.png 480w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Squarespace-template-home-480x357-1-150x112.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\"><\/p>\n<h2>Help and support<\/h2>\n<p>Squarespace support options include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Live chat Monday to Friday<\/li>\n<li>24\/7 social media support via Twitter<\/li>\n<li>24\/7 Squarespace Support Assistant chatbot<\/li>\n<li>24\/7 email support<\/li>\n<li>Community forum<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Scoring 4.8 out of 5 is no small feat, but you don&rsquo;t get better than Squarespace when it comes to help and support.<\/p>\n<p>The website builder&rsquo;s extensive on-site<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/squarespace-WB-help\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cta-type=\"inline-link\">knowledge base and onsite help function<\/a><\/strong> should be all you need in most cases, providing enough guides, articles, and even video tutorials to answer the most burning customer questions and queries.<\/p>\n<p>Other platforms fall short in this area, with the likes of Shopify offering a very confusing, and difficult to navigate, knowledge centre.<\/p>\n<p>Other contact options available include 24\/7 email support, as well as week-day live chat to help support its customers. Unfortunately, it doesn&rsquo;t offer phone support which is why its score went down from a perfect 5 out of 5 since our last round of research.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-126264 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/03165900\/Squarespace-support-480x263.png\" alt=\"Squarespace support\" width=\"480\" height=\"263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/03165900\/Squarespace-support-480x263.png 480w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/03165900\/Squarespace-support-640x351.png 640w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/03165900\/Squarespace-support-768x422.png 768w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/03165900\/Squarespace-support.png 1002w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\"><\/p>\n<h2>Value for money<\/h2>\n<p>The lowest score for Squarespace is its value for money, but this has massively improved since our last round of research &ndash; jumping up from 3.4 to <strong>3.6 out of 5<\/strong>. This is due to the large improvements in its feature offering making it far better value for money than it was previously.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the quality of website you get for the money you spend on a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/squarespace-WB-pricing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cta-type=\"inline-link\">Squarespace subscription<\/a><\/strong> is certainly worthwhile. And although the range of customisable features offered is smaller compared to other competitors (particularly Wix) you are still getting great value for money.<\/p>\n<p>As an example, Wix offers many of the same features Squarespace&rsquo;s Business plan offers, but for less &ndash; with it&rsquo;s unlimited plan setting users back &pound;11 per month.<\/p>\n<p>See our dedicated guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/websites\/builders\/squarespace-pricing\/\">Squarespace pricing<\/a> for more information about the pros and cons of each Squarespace plan.<\/p>\n<h2>Customer score<\/h2>\n<p>Small business owners are overall very satisfied with Squarespace, and with such brilliant customer support and a huge improvement in UX, it is understandable as to why. It scored an impressive 4.3 out of 5 in our research.<\/p>\n<p>The majority of user feedback we received was largely impressed with Squarespace&rsquo;s best feature &ndash; its brilliant design flexibility and sleek,<strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/squarespace-WB-templates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cta-type=\"inline-link\">creative templates<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>One user said:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>&ldquo;<em>I felt like the page still looked good, no matter what I added to it, which was vastly different to Wix.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As well as being very pleased with Squarespace&rsquo;s design functionality, users were also impressed with the ability to sell online with its Business plan, costing them just &pound;17 per month. This is a feature only offered by Squarespace as a web builder, as for the likes of GoDaddy, Weebly, and Wix, you must upgrade to an ecommerce specific plan before you can sell online.<\/p>\n<p>Further evidence of Squarespace&rsquo;s satisfied customers is the jump in its scoring since our last round of research in 2020. Back then it received a 4 out of 5 customer score, yet recently it received 4.5.<\/p>\n<h2>Ease of use<\/h2>\n<p>Even though Squarespace&rsquo;s ease of use is one of its weaker features, it has massively improved since our last review, with an impressive<strong><em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong>jump in its score from 4 out of 5 to 4.4 out of 5. This is thanks to improvements in its user interface and its drag and drop functionality.<\/p>\n<p>Squarespace has a drag-and-drop, grid-based editor, like most website builders. You can <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/squarespace-WB-primary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cta-type=\"inline-link\">start creating your new site in just a few minutes<\/a><\/strong> &ndash; simply sign up, pick your template, name your site, and you&rsquo;re off!<\/p>\n<p>The next steps are where things get a little trickier. Squarespace&rsquo;s actual editing platform is a tad less intuitive than other web builders &ndash; for example, it might not be immediately clear where the editing tools even are. This is in contrast to Wix, which signposts actions clearly to its users, and so scores a rating of 4.4, similar to Squarespace.<\/p>\n<p>To put it one way, Squarespace might be best suited to business owners striving for style and perfection, as opposed to those looking to knock together a site in a hurry.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-156483 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/squarespace-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1186\" height=\"538\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/squarespace-2.jpg 1186w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/squarespace-2-480x218.jpg 480w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/squarespace-2-640x290.jpg 640w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/squarespace-2-768x348.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1186px) 100vw, 1186px\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">T<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">he drag-and-drop functionality certainly makes Squarespace suitable for beginners, although it doesn&rsquo;t quite match the intuitiveness and comfort of some other web builders on the market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your Squarespace site could be a &lsquo;labour of love&rsquo;. The web builder is designed for making professional-standard sites, which could be why some users have found it quite tricky or time-consuming to get to the final result &ndash; or, at least, it took a bit of getting used to! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You may want to consider its affordable <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/squarespace-WB-pricing\"

While Wix is more focused on online store creation, Squarespace is also perfect for informational websites like online portfolios or blogs.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As mentioned earlier, this review of Squarespace as a web builder for small businesses focuses on six primary categories we have carefully researched: <strong>website features<\/strong>, <strong>design flexibility<\/strong>, <strong>help and support<\/strong>, <strong>value for money<\/strong>, <strong>customer score<\/strong>, and <strong>ease of use<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This research was also used to analyse and compare several other website builders on the market.&nbsp;<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]<\/p><div class=\"jumplink-anchor-section\">\n <div class=\"jumplink-anchor-pointer\" id=\"link-is-squarespace-right-for-you-or-your-business\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n[vc_column_text]\n<h2>Is Squarespace right for you or your business?<\/h2>\n<p>If you&rsquo;re looking for a website builder that has ample design flexibility, that has your back with robust customer support, and is easy and intuitive to use, then our answer would be a resounding yes.<\/p>\n<p>As we mentioned, Squarespace has hundreds of visually stunning prewritten templates, which can fast forward you into creating a stylish and highly functional website.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you&rsquo;re not convinced because of its price or because you think its website features aren&rsquo;t generous enough, we&rsquo;d recommend checking Wix or GoDaddy out. The former scores a nearly perfect 4.9 out of 5 for website features whereas the latter has an impressive 4.5 out of 5 score for value for money.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<\/p><div class=\"jumplink-anchor-section\">\n <div class=\"jumplink-anchor-pointer\" id=\"link-squarespace-review-the-verdict\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n[vc_column_text show_in_index=&rdquo;true&rdquo; title_index=&rdquo;Squarespace review: The verdict&rdquo; title_type=&rdquo;h2&Prime; title=&rdquo;Squarespace review: The verdict&rdquo;]\n<h2>Squarespace review: the verdict<\/h2>\n<p>Squarespace is the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/squarespace-WB-primary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cta-type=\"inline-link\">perfect website builder for creatives<\/a><\/strong> or anyone that wants to pour your heart and soul into a gorgeous website, that is sure to impress and look the part with the design flexibility that it offers.<\/p>\n<p>It has greatly improved in features where it was lacking since our previous in-depth analysis last year, refining its UX and customer support and deserving its<strong> overall scoring of 4.6\/5<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It does however narrowly miss out to Wix, and for good reason. Not only is Wix a better value option for small businesses according to our research (Squarespace scored just 3.6 out of 5 in this category) but it is also easier to use than Squarespace, if only by a smidge.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Overall though, Squarespace is rightfully the second-best website builder for small businesses based on our expert analysis and in depth research. It sets the bar when it comes to help and support and design flexibility, blowing web builders like Weebly and Jimdo Dolphin out of the water.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But don&rsquo;t just take our word for it,<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/startups.co.uk\/go\/squarespace-WB-primary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-cta-type=\"inline-link\">visit Squarespace today<\/a> <\/strong>to see whether this could be the ideal fit for your small business website.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<\/p><div class=\"jumplink-anchor-section\">\n <div class=\"jumplink-anchor-pointer\" id=\"link-faqs\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq\">\n <span class=\"faq-title\">\n FAQs <\/span>\n <ul class=\"faq-list\">\n <li class=\"faq-item\">\n\n <span class=\"faq-question\">\n What are the disadvantages of Squarespace? <\/span>\n\n <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n There are only a few disadvantages of Squarespace, which is the good news. For starters, you won't have access to features like abandoned shopping cart notifications, subscriptions, or third party ecommerce API's unless you pay for the advanced ecommerce plan which is expensive.

This transaction fee is 3% per transaction, and has to be paid for every sale made on your website. If however you are on Squarespace's ecommerce specific plans, Basic and Advanced, you will not be charged any transaction fees and Squarespace will not take a percentage of sales.
