Reviews of Squarespace
Best templates for personal portfolios and e-commerce
Comments: Squarespace is a great website builder and e-commerce platform, capturing wide-ranging needs for both personal and business portfolios.
Pros:
The simple interface was what I liked most, especially as someone who struggles with too much stimuli on the daily. I also appreciated the many available templates, which reduce decision fatigue but allows for small changes in design if desired. The new AI tool is helpful, as well.
Cons:
The templates for online courses are lacking compared to other product-based web commerce templates.
Square review
Comments: it was a good short lived experience but one that was eye opening and fun to be able to create
Pros:
the options it gave when creating a site were quite nice
Cons:
mainly the price and how they would change subtle things without me knowing
Good web builder, but team behind it
Comments: My experience with Squarespace is average, it's one of many site builders that work well but are run by a team with lacking support and poor marketing.
Pros:
I liked how easy it was to create a website
Cons:
I did not like the pricing, the support nor the methods they use for marketing.
Alternatives Considered:
Huge Upgrade In the Quality of My Websites
Comments: Squarespace is very user-friendly, intuitive, and versatile. I found it to be a huge upgrade from other services I have used to make websites over the years.
Pros:
I appreciate the ease of getting started and ability to customize. Taking advantage of the ability to create a "members only" part of a website has been a game-changer for a membership-based nonprofit I work with.
Cons:
I wish it allowed integration with other financial programs besides Stripe/Donorbox and other ways to have an online shop.
Alternatives Considered:
OG user from 10 years ago

Seems like it didn't keep up with webflow.
