“Squarespace: A Website Builder”

3.0
Apr 30, 2025
Easy website builder once you know how to use it. If you're new to the site, you will waste a lot of time poking around and redesigning templates to fit your needs (not as plug and play as other popular software).

User Sentiment About Squarespace
Reviewer Insights for: Squarespace

Squarespace Likes & Dislikes

Like

I like the ability to have multiple devices set up to the account, which allows different employees to have different sales profiles. The ability to customize menus and layouts for different sales locations is helpful and cuts down on unnecessary icons and items cluttering the workspace. I also like the speed in which you can update things and it flows to all devices and platforms.

Like

I like that it's convenient to link to a Squarespace Domain and that they do have beautiful portfolio templates.

Like

It is relatively intuitive to use, has all the necessary functions we need, and allows for customization of products/services.

Dislike

The website platform can sometimes be difficult to navigate to things that you would typically use the most. But once you get your platform set up, you don't really need to make much changes.

Dislike

Customer service sometimes takes days to respond to an inquiry which can really slow down the website building process

Dislike

The calendar page that shows events, especially when linked to Google calendar, is not very easy to see at first glance. You have to scroll a lot to see events within the same week. Secondary to that, the zoom function for that page doesn't adjust the screen content in a manner that allows you to see what's on the page any easier. The color scheme of the site is also fairly boring and lacks contrast.

    Overall Great Product! Calendar Visibility Needs Work

    Oct 29, 2025
    I primarily use Squarespace for creation and booking for company events, workshops, webinars, etc. It has been user-friendly, easy to use, and allowed for a lot of customization. The main area of improvement I would say has been the layout of the calendar page. Instead of showing everything at first glance, it is very spread out and I have to scroll a lot to find events within the same week.

    Squarespace Offers Security and Ease but Faces Outdated Design Block Limitations

    Squarespace is user friendly and secure and although some features need enhancement, the tradeoff for security and ease of use is worth it.
