Is Squarespace the Right Website Builder for Your Business?
Short answer:
Yes! If you're a service-based business that wants a slick, secure, easy-to-manage website without all the tech hassle.
Here’s why Squarespace is a smart, scalable choice and why we recommend it for our NODA clients. We’ve tried nearly every website builder out there from WIX to WORDPRESS to FIGMA and for most of our service-based clients, Squarespace just makes the most sense. It’s easy, looks great, and doesn’t give you a headache every time you want to change something.
Let me break down why we back it.
6 Reasons We Recommend Squarespace for Service Pros
1. It’s All-In-One
We love that you don’t need countless plug-ins like Wordpress to piece things together. You can:
Choose a template
Buy your domain
Set up your email
Start a shop or sell downloads
Add a blog
Lock pages for members
2. You Can Make It Look Like Your Brand
We always begin each client website from a blank page, no cookie-cutter templates involved (although Squarespace does have them). Squarespace offers full customization, allowing us to adjust fonts, colors, and layouts. It also has intuitive drag-and-drop feature which lets you reposition elements until the design perfectly fits your vision which is perfect for our clients who decide they want to take over and manage edits themselves.
3. Easy to Update Without a Developer
One of the biggest reasons we work with Squarespace is because their backend is notably user-friendly compared to other platforms. Additionally, Squarespace auto-updates automatically (unlike platforms like Wordpress), allowing you to easily add content, images, products, or blog posts without any need for coding.
4. No Plugin Headaches
WordPress users: you know the pain. With Squarespace, no plugin updates, conflicts, or crashes. Everything’s integrated and built to just work.
5. Better Security by Default
Squarespace’s closed system boosts security with SSL, secure checkout, and regular updates. Live chat support is super responsive.
6. Mobile-Responsive by Default
Your site will look good on any device, there’s no need to design twice. Tweaks are easy too, but most of the heavy lifting is done for you.
