Squarespace Review

The market for website builders, both standard and eCommerce, has been very competitive. The age of digital has ensured that small businesses can now compete more evenly on a global scale and companies like Squarespace are leveraging on that. Irregardless of the type of business, all of them now need a digital presence to survive.

For businesses that don’t need to sell online, standard websites will do. But small businesses seldom have the resources to drop on to website development, even outsourced. Squarespace offers a viable alternative to that, appealing to the DIY crowd. It allows those with little to no technical skills to means to quickly build impressive websites easily.

Online stores used to be much more complex to build and Squarespace has solved this problem as well. It allows users to quickly pull together different application blocks to add what used to be complex functionality. true, some features could cost extra but those options are up to the individual business owners.

The result is a well-rounded product so there’s no wonder that Squarespace has done well for itself. At its core, it remains focused as a website builder and allows third-parties to bring extended feature sets to that platform. This results in a healthy ecosystem that benefits Squarespace, developers, and its own users at the same time.

Personally I find Squarespace to be one of the most well-balanced website builders around, even if not the perfect version of one. If you do have the technical knowledge to build and maintain your own site though you might find it a lot cheaper as an alternative to platforms like this.
