5 big reasons to choose Squarespace as your go-to website platform
Are you on the hunt for the perfect website platform to show off your products, services or just to get your message out there? Here’s a jaw-dropper for you - did you know there’s currently 2.96 million Squarespace hosted websites live and active on the big web right now? That’s huge! Traditionally, Wordpress was and probably still is the most used platform, but this is definitely changing at a rapid pace now that big contenders like Squarespace come with a whole lot more benefits for the end-user.
We get asked all the time which website builders we recommend and Squarespace is definitely up there as one of the best (in our opinion!), and it’s for these 5 reasons:
1. Sleek Templates
Let's face it, looks matter. Luckily, Squarespace's templates are sleek, modern, and designed to make any business look the part. With over 100 templates to choose from, you're sure to find one that fits your vibe, whether you're a blogger, artist, or e-commerce brand. Plus, they're all mobile-responsive, so your site will look amazing on any device.
2. Easy for Everyone
No one has time for a complicated website platform. Squarespace is super user-friendly, with drag-and-drop features that make it a breeze to create pages, add images and videos, and customise your design. Even if you have an agency like us help you with the initial design, keeping things up-to-date yourself after the handover is such a breeze. (Plus, we give good training!)
3. E-Commerce Done Right
If you're looking to sell products or services online, Squarespace's e-commerce features are on point. You can set up a digital store, accept payments through Stripe or PayPal, and even track your inventory. Plus, their checkout process is seamless, so your customers will enjoy the experience as much as you. Want to sell monthly or annual subscriptions to your content or services? It does that too.
4. Built-In SEO
Getting your site to show up on search engines can be a daunting task, but Squarespace offers built-in SEO tools that help you optimise your site for search engines. You can easily add keywords, meta descriptions, and more, so your site can climb those search rankings and get the visibility you’ve worked hard for.
5. Reliable Hosting
Last but not least, Squarespace's hosting is exactly what you need - reliable and secure. This is one of our favourite features. They offer 24/7 monitoring, automatic software updates, and SSL certificates to keep your site safe and sound. Plus, they have a 99.9% uptime guarantee, so your site will always be up and running when you need it.
I’m sure you get the gist, we vouch for Squarespace - It’s the perfect website platform for anyone looking to create a professional, sleek, and user-friendly site, whether start-up or enterprise. With their stunning templates, easy-to-use features, e-commerce capabilities, built-in SEO, and reliable hosting, that’s our top-5 covered.
