Why Squarespace May Be the Best web builder for Your business
Squarespace is a great web builder. It is easy to use and it just looks really good! As a web designer who loves aesthetics, I can honestly say, there aren’t many other platforms I love for the love of design! But I would be a bad web designer if I were to suggest Squarespace to every business I work with out there.
It is not for everyone.
But this is a topic for another day (or blog!). Let’s explore why Squarespace might be the best choice for you and your business!
1. All-in-One Platform
No need to worry about a host and a domain, and a theme and plug-ins, and I could go on and on…
Squarespace hosts your websites, so you don’t have to worry about that.
You can also purchase your domain from Squarespace, and the templates and themes are all things you can manage within your dashboard. All you need to decide is what you need out of your website, in terms of functionality and choose your plan accordingly.
That means less tech overwhelm and more time focusing on your actual business.
2. You can build a website very quickly
Squarespace provides you with templates and tools to get your website up and running in very little time.
Drag-and-drop websites have open web design possibilities for people who don’t know how to code.
Does that mean that you don’t need an expert anymore? Not necessarily! You still want your website to be functional and attract customers, as well as rank well for SEO
And these are all things that a web designer can help you with
3.no code required (unless you want to!)
If you’re not a tech expert, Squarespace’s drag-and-drop editor makes it easy to add text, images, videos, and products without touching a single line of code.
For those who do want more control, you can add custom CSS or code blocks to tweak your site beyond the built-in features.
4. automatic updates
Because your website is hosted by Squarespace, all the relevant updates are taken care of.
Whenever Squarespace pushes through updates to its platform, all you have to do is just sit there and be excited!
If you have any code on your website, there may be a need to ensure that nothing is broken… But other than that, you don’t have to worry about monthly plug-in updates or being hacked!
5. You don’t have to call an expert every time you want something changed
If you are open to learn to use the platform, then you can pretty much update the little things you need by yourself!
This is especially important if you have products or events that you need to update regularly, but you are not in a position to pay someone else to do it on a regular basis.
6. seo and AIO made easy
SEO can be daunting! And what the heck is AIO (AI optimisation)!
Squarespace has made it so much easier to stay on top of it all and maintain good practices!
Your dashboard SEO/AIO section that not only empowers you and educates you about best practices, but it also automatically checks to ensure your website is optimised!
No plug-in needed!
