It’s no secret that we love Squarespace. We’ve slowly transitioned most of our clients over to this superior platform from WordPress, and so far no one has looked back! In case you haven’t heard our spiel yet, here’s why we stan SS4Eva:
1. One-Stop Shop
Squarespace offers a comprehensive suite of tools and features to help you build and manage your website all in one place. Your website hosting, domain hosting, e-commerce, e-mail marketing, memberships, etc. are all created by the same company and live in one unified dashboard.
2. Easy to Update
The Squarespace editing platform is designed with non-designers in mind. Once we get your website up and running our goal is for you to be able to update content yourself, and Squarespace’s powerful Fluid Engine drag & drop editor makes that possible. Squarespace also has a comprehensive collection of tutorials available online so you can feel empowered to resolve issues yourself.
3. Worry-free
Unlike websites built on WordPress, Squarespace doesn’t require ongoing maintenance or updates. That means no more crossing your fingers and hoping each plugin update doesn’t break your site. Also rest assured that Squarespace websites are nearly impossible to hack since they’re not pieced together with code from different sources.
4. Integrations Galore
Because Squarespace is well-respected in the digital space, most third-party tools integrate beautifully. It also comes with powerful integrations already built in, like MailChimp and Acuity scheduling. Want to get extra fancy? CSS plugins built by SS experts are available for any extra feature you could dream up.
5. Built-In SEO
Squarespace automatically optimizes your website for Search Engine Optimization – bye bye SEO plugin! All you have to do (or pay us to do 😉) is build your website with SEO best practices in mind.
Honestly, we could go on and on! It’s one of our favorite things to talk about (and design) so if you’re considering switching platforms or building a brand new website, we’d love to hear from you.
