Other CMS platforms create unnecessary complexity, unlike Squarespace > > **Cons**: Lack of block options compared to other CMS platforms like WordPress. Complex or more bespoke website designs become difficult to create > > Great starting point for beginners creating simple websites. Content edits are straightforward to make ----- ### "Solid and continually progressing platform" — 5.0/5 > **Cathy** | *20 February 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: We love using Squarespace to build sites for clients who need an easy platform to navigate, with a very user friendly interface. The templated sections make building very fast and the sites are always clean with hardly any technical issues. > > **Cons**: The level of CSS you need to know for customization can be an issue for some people, however, there are good online resources to teach you. The pricing is also sometimes an issue for clients who are lured by sales on WordPress sites. > > We've built sites in Squarespace for over 8 years. We've seen a lot of improvements in each iteration of the builder and have consistently been able to quickly create professional, clean websites. For some of our clients, the drag and drop builder is ideal for them to make their own updates (honestly, why are you paying someone else to change a photo?) There are limitations to what you can customize/change without CSS, which is also a good thing when it comes to clients accessing their sites, too. :) On the few times we've needed to connect to customer support, the team has been responsive and resolved matters quickly. ----- ### "All in one website Designing Tool" — 5.0/5 > **Anonymous User** | *19 June 2026* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the fact that even a novice can easily create a professional looking website without the need to learn coding. Once can easily drag and drop and use all in one platform with less capital. > > **Cons**: Limited pre designed templates restricts creativity and can result in identical looking websites for users. > > Overall, I use it even today to showcase my work by hosting on Squarespace without any coding knowledge. ----- ### "My take on Squarespace" — 3.0/5 > **Caroline** | *1 January 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: It balances powerful, professional design with simplicity and accessibility. That means less fuss, less learning curve, and a site you can actually be proud of, even if you’re not a developer. > > **Cons**: Sstarts to feel restrictive just when you want more freedom, complexity, or the ability to scale. Plus, it’s hard (and sometimes costly) to leave after you’re invested. These are tradeoffs for stability and ease of use. > > Smooth and empowering—helps individuals and small businesses go live with good-looking, fully functional websites fast. For those with more demanding or specialized needs, there are some tradeoffs in terms of flexibility and long-term scalability. ----- ### "Me and my small business love it\!" — 5.0/5 > **Shantoria** | *7 May 2026* | Design | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: The templates are clean and modern, the drag-and-drop editor is simple to use, and everything from booking services to payments and mobile optimization is built into one platform. > > **Cons**: the platform isn’t always as flexible for advanced business or e-commerce needs compared to other website builders ----- Page: 1 / 138\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/157453/squarespace?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/157453/squarespace) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
