Why SQUARESPACE is my PLATFORM of choice
I use Squarespace to create all my websites because of its clean design and simple user interface, meaning it's easy for my clients to manage and make edits themselves. Below are some of the most important reasons why I believe it to be the best website platform for the types of businesses I work with.
Easy & intuitive for my clients to use
This is the main reason I now only design in Squarespace for my clients, it is SO EASY for my clients to confidently manage their website. I have used several other platforms ( Wordpress, Wix, Webflow to name a few) in the past, and found that Squarespace out-performs all of them in this very important area.
Secure & fully managed
You don’t have to perform ongoing maintenance and security updates with Squarespace, this is included in your paid plan and handled for you by Squarespace. Squarespace a is fully managed platform. This means there’s never any need to update software, plugins, or widgets, patch security vulnerabilities; or worry that changing one component might break something else.
Search engine friendly
Squarespace has many built in options to help your SEO that are very easy to use that help your website perform well in search engines, e.g. Google.
Squarespace also has great guides for how to get the most out of these features.
Custom code injection
For full control and customisation this feature allows me to create completely custom and unique sites. I don't use templates, but start from a blank page and have more control over the design and functionality with custom code.
Great 24/7 customer support
Squarespace has a great library of step-by-step guides and video tutorials for if you get stuck, but their 24/7 live chat and email support are second-to-none. I've had nothing but great experiences with them.
Simple pricing structure
Squarespace's pricing is transparent and simple, without any hidden costs; you can pay monthly or yearly (from €11 per month up to €36 per month for large online stores) which includes absolutely everything you need - no extra costs!
Most of my clients require Squarespace business Plan at €15 Monthly or €240 yearly which allows for custom code injection.
Discounts for my clients
I am a Squarespace Circle member (which means I have a tonne of experience after creating many many websites in Squarespace) which grants my clients 20% off, off their first year with Squarespace - granted that they are a new Squarespace customer.
