Squarespace Reviews & Product Details

Squarespace is easy to use for someone that is not technical at all. The templates are awesome. It's easy to figure out things you get stuck on with all of the resources provided. It's so intuitive. I have two websites for different parts of my business one e-commerce and one 'normal' website' and I love how easy they both are to buld and maintain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I don't like is that a) I can't use my company font on the website, which means my branding doesn't match the rest of my branded marketing materials, b) Klarna is not available to add on UK Squarespace websites, and c) the DHL widget is not available to add to Squarespace to help with my shipping.

SquareSpace is an easy to build website with so many formatting options that anyone can make a professional website. I currently run two robust websites with SquareSpace—one for my association's conference that I update each year and another website for an international awareness day. I love their analytics, easy to use and capture the information I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Squarespace is very flexible in its layout and branding options, there are a few small tweaks I wish I could make, like having different colors for buttons or highlighted text on pages. It's a small inconveience, as the flexibility of the website far outweighs that request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Squarespace has an intuitive design that instantly gladdens a new user. Their templates cover a wide scope and therefore is most applicable for anyone with a need for a quick landing page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lack of customization for chosen templates. There's an option to input script inside the head tags but this isn't enough for a developer with advanced needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a nonprofit, cost is important, and Squarespace is reasonably priced, even for higher level packages. It is easy to learn how to make edits, there are great templates to start with, and it can look sleek with desktop and mobile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Robust webpages can take a while to load compared to other website designers. Some design integration requires knowledge of CSS coding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of setting everything up. The web creator is quite handy as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's buggy, and customer support is not helpful. In their terms of service, they also have no warranties or guarantees for their services. What in practice means that whenever their error severely affects your company you can't do anything about it :)

While migrating domains from google domains they have an error that blocks users from using their domains as well as google workspaces(emails). The error has been ongoing for a few weeks already, it only appears when you have to renew the domain for the next year. For a few weeks, some people cannot access their domain and emails. What is worse the user cannot even transfer the domain to other hosting platforms due to their error. When I contacted customer support they were pretending as it was a new issue. Only after 3rd conversation, I found out about the scale of the problem. They could have warned me about the problem cause they had known about it for the last few weeks(saw people complaining on it for 6-7 weeks already) so I could prepare, migrate my stuff, contact my clients etc. Instead, they thought that it is a great idea to hide it. Now my company is left with no website and no email and it looks like we are close which seriously affects our credibility and I am their hostage as due to error I cannot transfer my domain somewhere else. Can't even demand any money as compensation due to their terms of service.

I decided to create another page on the website as everything is already set up in webpage creator and I needed to do it quickly. I already regret it. When I created a Google Workspace for the new domain I was unable to add any users. I was getting a "cannot process payment" error multiple times even though my money was charged. So far the problem has not been resolved.

If would recommend not using Squarespace services. Try to use a different provider if possible. Shame that I was made to migrate my stuff here when they bought Google domains. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They used to have a pretty good basic web site builder but they screwed it up and companies like Shopify just caught up and blew past them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Really poor code I mean things rarely work especially when they aquire another company and merge the accounts. This happened to me first when they acquired Weebly and more recently when they acquired Google domains It is an absolute dumpster fire and there is no automated way to fix the issues in their customer service is woefully inadequate so it takes many months to get anything resolved This is unacceptable when you're trying to run a business and you need to access your domain!

I like best about Squarespace is its user-friendly interface combined with powerful design flexibility. It offers beautifully crafted templates, seamless integrations, and built-in SEO tools that make website creation both intuitive and efficient. The platform empowers users to build professional sites without needing extensive coding knowledge, perfect for any business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Squarespace lacks advanced customization options and can be limiting for developers who need more control over design elements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I loved how Squarespace is customisable and I could easily design my website with no previous experience or coding background. There are plenty of guides to help you along the way to create a desired end product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's tricky to adjust margins and you need to play around with the code Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The upside is that you can register a domain and build a website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dislike is an understatement. Hate, despise, and detest are better words. I hate that I bought my domain from Google Domains and then was forced to accept the takeover by Squarespace. I despise Squarespace for not having an easy customer service contact process. I have been trying to speak to someone from Squarespace for 3 days now with NO response. I already paid my annual domain subscription for this year and my next payment is supposed to be due in May 2025. However, Squarespace billed me twice in the space of 3 months without explanation or warning. That is a scam. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are so many capabilities Squarespace has in-house—most notably, mailing lists and monetization. It's easy to post content, and there's a lot you can do with no knowledge of coding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The design is completely in-flexible if you need to change, say a title to a different spot or creating columned sections of text/images. The user interface is buggy when you want to change margins on the page or rearrange objects. It takes so long just to move one paragraph above a paragraph and add spaces for margins, it's completely unreasonably buggy—the paragraphs flip away from the cursor and refuse to be positioned in spot. And while the interface for a regular website is easy to add content in, if you make any changes to the spacing, then the responsive is also difficult to work with.

I redesigned the entire website in Wordpress, and it was like a breath of fresh air, because I didn't have to fight with the interface to get it to do what I wanted. I understand that Squarespace is designed for people who don't have an understanding of website development, and I do. Even so, if the responsive were more intuitive and the margins and columns were easier to work with, this would be my program! Because the rest of it is really incredible.
