The Best AND Easiest Website-Creating Software You Will Ever Use!
Squarespace has saved me time, money, and has allowed me to expand my photography business over the past 5 years by providing the perfect place for clients to find me online. Plus, I get SO many compliments on my website! People always comment on how it is professional, clean, and easy to navigate.
Pros
When I first started looking for a platform to create a website for my fledgling photography business nearly 5 years ago, there were a few specific characteristics I was seeking: I needed the platform to be easy to use, quick to set up, and to showcase my photos in an optimal way to potential clients. I found all of that and more with Squarespace! I was able to get my website set up in just a few days and was able to do it without any tears or that "I'm going to pull my hair out!" feeling. If anything, it was the complete opposite! I couldn't believe how easy everything was to set up and how professional my website looked.
Cons
The ONE thing I wish Squarespace had more of: more creative templates. Their website templates are a great, solid "skeleton" (if you will), but you definitely have to put extra work in if you want to make your website stand out from others who utilize the same template.
Reasons for Switching to Squarespace
Squarespace was the easiest to get set up - fast. And it's the easiest to maintain, in my opinion! Many of my colleagues talk about their website woes, and about how hard it is to change certain things on their site. With Squarespace's intuitive drag and drop features (perfect for people who want to stay away from code!), anything can be easily changed at the click of a button.

A powerful website building solution
Squarespace has been a strong tool for my photography business. It's allowed me to easily create and update a portfolio website. While there are some customization limits I've been happy with Squarespace overall for years;
Pros
Squarespace offers great design templates, a user-friendly interface, and buit-in, reliable features. Gone are the days of dealing with plugins, updates and other headaches that come with some other tools.
Cons
I've run into some customization limitations, their update to the most current version was far from seamless, requiring customers to rebuild their sites rather than be upgradeable. There are cheaper options out there for sure as well.

Eh, it’s okay but pricey.
It was a great platform to start out on. Could have been more “beginner friendly”.
Pros
The service that squarespace offers. Haven’t visited the platform in awhile.
Cons
The fact that “customizable” felt very limited. And the price.

With Squarespace, we can streamline the web design process
Squarespace is a crucial tool for in-house web designers since it streamlines the process of improving websites and generating custom pages for customers. This platform's drag-and-drop editor makes creating and updating web content easy, cutting down on web development time and effort. I strongly recommend using this tool because it helps keep a site looking friendly and working well. The system is flexible and provides powerful resources. There is nothing in the user's content that needs to be rephrased.
Pros
With Squarespace, you can quickly and easily hire a talented site designer who uses cutting-edge technology. It offers various configuration options so that users may create websites tailored to their businesses' specific needs. The platform's many advertising tools let users promote their business to a broader audience and attract new customers. All of my questions have been answered, so thank you very much for your help. The graphical user interface is intuitive and straightforward to use.
Cons
Securing a website certificate might be challenging, depending on the domain. However, assistance is available from the support staff.
