## Squarespace Reviews
  ### 1. Poor Support and Domain Management Issues with Squarespace

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Chelsea E. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 05, 2026

**What do you like best about Squarespace?**

Absolutely nothing

**What do you dislike about Squarespace?**

Squarespace is the worst. They have not allowed us to continue to pay for the domain even though we have submitted the feather certificate, bill of sale showing the domain is now ours, and the business EIN registration. Communication is through chat or email. We are constantly redirected to other departments and never get any resolution. We have had to spend countless hours changing domains and emails for a business that has been running for 6 years. Having to contact all existing clients and potential clients of the change in hopes they understand.

**What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Squarespace creates problems for me. They haven't allowed us to pay for our domain despite having all required documents, and their support is just chat or email with no resolution.

  ### 2. The site is buggy and customer support not helpful.

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dawid P. | Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 22, 2024

**What do you like best about Squarespace?**

The ease of setting everything up. The web creator is quite handy as well.

**What do you dislike about Squarespace?**

It's buggy, and customer support is not helpful. In their terms of service, they also have no warranties or guarantees for their services. What in practice means that whenever their error severely affects your company you can't do anything about it :) 

While migrating domains from google domains they have an error that blocks users from using their domains as well as google workspaces(emails). The error has been ongoing for a few weeks already, it only appears when you have to renew the domain for the next year. For a few weeks, some people cannot access their domain and emails. What is worse the user cannot even transfer the domain to other hosting platforms due to their error. When I contacted customer support they were pretending as it was a new issue. Only after 3rd conversation, I found out about the scale of the problem. They could have warned me about the problem cause they had known about it for the last few weeks(saw people complaining on it for 6-7 weeks already) so I could prepare, migrate my stuff, contact my clients etc. Instead, they thought that it is a great idea to hide it.  Now my company is left with no website and no email and it looks like we are close which seriously affects our credibility and I am their hostage as due to error I cannot transfer my domain somewhere else. Can't even demand any money as compensation due to their terms of service. 

I decided to create another page on the website as everything is already set up in webpage creator and I needed to do it quickly. I already regret it. When I created a Google Workspace for the new domain I was unable to add any users. I was getting a "cannot process payment" error multiple times even though my money was charged. So far the problem has not been resolved. 

If would recommend not using Squarespace services. Try to use a different provider if possible. Shame that I was made to migrate my stuff here when they bought Google domains.

**What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?**

They provide hosting to my website as well are resellers of Google Workspace for my company.

  ### 3. Technology is poor the customer service is non existent.

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ryan R. | Feed Category Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2024

**What do you like best about Squarespace?**

They used to have a pretty good basic web site builder but they screwed it up and companies like Shopify just caught up and blew past them

**What do you dislike about Squarespace?**

Really poor code I mean things rarely work especially when they aquire another company and merge the accounts. This happened to me first when they acquired Weebly and more recently when they acquired Google domains It is an absolute dumpster fire and there is no automated way to fix the issues in their customer service is woefully inadequate so it takes many months to get anything resolved This is unacceptable when you're trying to run a business and you need to access your domain!

**What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It's not solving any problems it's creating problems both Weebly and Google domains for good products and when squarespace acquired them they turned into garbage. I never wanted to work with squarespace I was forced to by both of these mergers.

  ### 4. Squarespace Is A Scam

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Edwin K. | Debt Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 07, 2024

**What do you like best about Squarespace?**

The upside is that you can register a domain and build a website.

**What do you dislike about Squarespace?**

Dislike is an understatement. Hate, despise, and detest are better words. I hate that I bought my domain from Google Domains and then was forced to accept the takeover by Squarespace. I despise Squarespace for not having an easy customer service contact process. I have been trying to speak to someone from Squarespace for 3 days now with NO response. I already paid my annual domain subscription for this year and my next payment is supposed to be due in May 2025. However, Squarespace billed me twice in the space of 3 months without explanation or warning. That is a scam.

**What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The only problem Squarespace is solving is being the unwanted registrar of my Google Domain.

  ### 5. DNS propagation takes at least 3 day like we're back in 1999 and support is literary non-existent.

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2024

**What do you like best about Squarespace?**

Literary nothing, all their services are subpar garbage masked in beautiful branding

**What do you dislike about Squarespace?**

DNS Propagation takes forever, at least 3 days where with EVERY other domain registrar nowadays they're almost instantanious. Squarespace is the only company left back in 1999.

Their support is non-existent, unable to reach them, BUT if you hit up sales they immediately jump on the chat to sell you on stuff

**What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?**

They solve literary nothing they have a rudimentary propriatery SaaS website builder with couple of decently designed pre-made templates. About as useless as a rock.

  ### 6. Non existing customer support

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Evrim A. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 21, 2024

**What do you like best about Squarespace?**

nothing at all, the website building is a disaster and you cannot do anything similar to WordPress

**What do you dislike about Squarespace?**

Bad system
Bad website building
awful customer support

**What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is not solving anything, that is why I am moving away as quick as  Ican

  ### 7. Terrible customer support with no way to contact a human!

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consulting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 05, 2024

**What do you like best about Squarespace?**

It sdoes the job and provides easy way to implement and maintain more interactive website capabilities.

**What do you dislike about Squarespace?**

Absolutely terrible customer support and service. There is NO WAY to reach a human. No phone support. Online chatbot does not have humans, only generate email support request. Email support response time is not at almost three weeks and counting with no contact. I've submitted four email support requests in three weeks with NO response on any of them. The problem is with payment processing on their end that I have no means to resolve and as a result my subscription has lapsed and they've suspended our companies website. This is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE practice. I will be switching to another provider.

**What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Automates some more complex interctive and maintenance heavy aspects of website (blogs, forms, analytics, marketing integration, etc.)

  ### 8. No phone support. And their email response is VERY, VERY, SLOW!

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Human Resources | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 08, 2023

**What do you like best about Squarespace?**

They promote themselves well and suggest things that a customer should look for.

**What do you dislike about Squarespace?**

Very slow and bad in customer support.  Not easy to navigate their tools

**What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?**

None.  There is no quick way to reach anyone. Email response is sooo slow and they have no phone support.

  ### 9. Squarespace - a restrictive jail for devs and designers, a decent solution for non-techies

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Renee T. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2022

**What do you like best about Squarespace?**

Squarespace's redeeming factor in my eyes is the competency of their customer support. Professional and efficient. Exemplary customer support model for other businesses, but I cannot say the same about their product.

**What do you dislike about Squarespace?**

I dislike many things, here are the two most annoying things of them:

1. The Squarespace builder is overly convoluted - to change a font, you need to go to 3 different menus!
2. The layout customisation is too restrictive - it's customising (a few) pre-made elements. From my experience, you don't actually have options to add any additional layout features (call to action, testimonials, pricing lists etc.)

**What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Personally, Squarespace does not solve problems for me, but rather creates them. As someone who prefers a more hands-on and involved approach in website creation, Squarespace is problematic because it's not letting you "build" your website, it's more like adding a few "decorations" here and there.

  ### 10. Stay Away ... Run Away ... from SquareSpace

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 02, 2022

**What do you like best about Squarespace?**

Don't let this company reel you in with promises they can't keep and terrible tech support. If you want an easy, no-frills, no functionality site then SquareSpace is for you.

**What do you dislike about Squarespace?**

My experience with SquareSpace has been horrible. Functionality limitations are all over the place. Lost a MAJOR client because of it. Tech support is useless. Can't even purchase emails without running into roadblocks. I've had the same issues repeatedly for months and months and they don't fix them.

Instructions and help topics on the site are no longer relevant...not updated.

**What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I've lost a major client because of the lack of commerce functionality and tech support.

  ### 11. I switched from Squarespace to Ucraft, and I am so happy.

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Aimee L. | Photographer/graphic designer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 24, 2022

**What do you like best about Squarespace?**

I liked the look of Squarespace. It was very user-friendly, had nice template options, and was easy to use.

**What do you dislike about Squarespace?**

The cost. That's the thing I disliked most, and if they were competitive, I probably would have stayed.

**Recommendations to others considering Squarespace:**

If you can afford it, Squarespace is great. Otherwise, choose Ucraft.

**What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Squarespace had nice features like integrating the URL purchasing/cutting out the middle man for a seamless user experience.

  ### 12. I'd rather build my website from scratch than use Squarespace

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Events Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 21, 2019

**What do you like best about Squarespace?**

It's affordable and my clients can use it as it's fairly easy.

**What do you dislike about Squarespace?**

- SEO tools not good enough 
- Glitchy (I spend more time working the tool and fixing bugs)
- I don't have enough flexibility
- Site speed is slow
- Markdown editor has bugs

**Recommendations to others considering Squarespace:**

Don't use it, don't buy it. Stay away from it!

**What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Not many benefits to be honest. I'd rather build out a website from scratch or use Wordpress. This service has cost me so much time, it's buggy. The editor is built for absolute beginners. It feels like the product was built by amateurs. Unfortunately, I'm tied to it as my clients are using it. 

  ### 13. Dont use campaigns

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Yoram P. | yoram pohl, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 25, 2019

**What do you like best about Squarespace?**

Great site and easy of use for a beginner

**What do you dislike about Squarespace?**

Campaigns have a real issue, and squarespace have many flaws with it

**Recommendations to others considering Squarespace:**

If your business matters, as does earning money, go elsewhere

**What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I decided to go from mailchimp to squarespace, so i could use the campaigns and ease of use, by staying on the platform.  

No a great decision with many flaws. I was told they would get the issue of connecting the newsletter, and other issues fixed in a few days. A week later i have no emails, and no responses, and on chat they are not able to handle this. 

If you are a business making money, i highly suggest sticking with mailchimp or another provider, as once you get into a problem, squarspace are super average. I am back on mailchimp, and won't be going back as my business has suffered.

  ### 14. Cumbersome and unreliable

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Events Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 15, 2019

**What do you like best about Squarespace?**

I appreciate that once configured, a website on SquareSpace stands out, and doesn't look like just any other website.

**What do you dislike about Squarespace?**

This website platform, however, is terribly cumbersome to input your data and configure it the way you like.  Navigating the back end of the site as an admin is frustrating at best and requires you to jump through way too many hoops just to be certain your work has been saved.

**What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I fail to see what SquareSpace provides that another website platform couldn't achieve more simply and reliably.

  ### 15. Squarespace: Not for Us!

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** John S. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 25, 2018

**What do you like best about Squarespace?**

Squarespace is a very minimalistic content management system, based in NYC. Their data centers would have been ideal for us, as well as their elegant designs. Squarespace is liquid, which would have been great for us. We would have liked to keep using the easy adaptable editor that Squarespace provided to edit the site.

**What do you dislike about Squarespace?**

Unfortunately, Squarespace did not meet our needs in terms of price and flexibility. Squarespace did not let us export the site, and required a minimum payment of $12/mo, just for hosting. Squarespace did not let us use a custom domain either, and the design was not perfect, either. Plus, email transfers using MX records were too complicated, and there was no obvious option for implimenting A records to use external domains.

**Recommendations to others considering Squarespace:**

If you are using Squarespace, you must understand that Squarespace is very limiting in terms of its connectivity and adaptability. You must buy and use everything within Squarespace (domain, hosting, emails) as this would be ideal for best accessibility.

**What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We would have solved many problems if Squarespace adapted to our needs. We were simply not able to transfer our domain to Squarespace, as Squarespace really wanted us to do. Squarespace should exist as a content management system inside GoDaddy; this could have been very helpful. The reason why Squarespace is so expensive is probably because they continue to try to exist alone; they should combine with a partner or become open source (free), or possibly both.

  ### 16. Awful customer service 

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 20, 2018

**What do you like best about Squarespace?**

The platform has good usability in terms of designing and editing the website.

**What do you dislike about Squarespace?**

Abysmal customer service: There is only one way to ask for help which is to complete an online help request. After a while you receive an email which I have discovered does not address your question or resolve your problem.

I have spent hours and hours trying to get answers I need and have had no luck to date. Absolutely terrible customer service. Avoid like the plague.

**Recommendations to others considering Squarespace:**

I like Squarespace's usability on its platform (CMS) but I find its customer service for any help needed terrible.

The only way to contact Squarespace for help is via its online messaging service, after which there is a lengthy wait of up to a couple of days, after which the answer you get is unhelpful and doesn't solve your problem.

It is absolutely driving me nuts and to be honest I wish I had never set my website on Squarespace because of it.

I want to move the web files to another web host. God knows how long that will take to arrange if I ever manage it.

I recommend going with good old Wordpress or Shopify until Squarespace has sorted out its customer service :-(

**What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?**

None. I want to move to another platform and web host as soon as I can. 

  ### 17. Overrated Website host

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Apparel & Fashion | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 31, 2018

**What do you like best about Squarespace?**

I like that there exists a web hosting service for people who are not familiar with web development and would not benefit from a more cusotmizeable approach.

**What do you dislike about Squarespace?**

There are so many ads. I swear every YouTuber I follow have at least one video sponsored by them. Not at all good.

**Recommendations to others considering Squarespace:**

If you're familiar with web development then I suggest you stay far far away from them. Otherwise this is a good service to consider when making a website.

**What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Having designers, project managers and other non-web developer staff in the company be able to work on the website.

  ### 18. Good for inexperienced users but if you can, choose something else

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 01, 2018

**What do you like best about Squarespace?**

Squarespace is an easy to software for web design. It is great for people who have little experience in web design but want something that looks decent. It is also nice that all your webpages are under the same login. You don't have to login to several places.

**What do you dislike about Squarespace?**

Squarespace leaves a lot to be desired when you need any advanced features. Things that we struggle with include alternate languages, lack of plugins, inability to edit gallery and shop pages, and much more. I would choose WordPress any day over Squarespace myself.

**Recommendations to others considering Squarespace:**

Again, if you don't know much about web design or coding, then I highly recommend. If you are more experienced in web design, use something else such as Wordpress!

**What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Web design. I haven't noticed a lot of benefits and would have chosen a different product if I had been involved in the initial setup.

  ### 19. Changes plans and terms without notice, causing increased expenses.

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Restaurants | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 28, 2017

**What do you like best about Squarespace?**

Beautiful, easy to use web templates and WYSIWYG editor that's easy to hand off to clients as a finished product. 

**What do you dislike about Squarespace?**

Squarespace is privately held, which normally means its a good company to work with. However, in this case, it means they have no telephone support, higher pricing than the publicly held competitor (godaddy) and manipulate their product offerings and pricing plans frequently in such a way that they've become an unreliable business partner.  I would flat-out not recommend doing business with Squarespace under any circumstances. 

**Recommendations to others considering Squarespace:**

Based on their un-announced fee hikes, it appears that they're headed in the wrong direction. I wouldn't be surprised to see them either acquired, or bankrupt within the next year. Avoid at all costs.

**What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Not applicable. Originally, I had begun a relationship with Squarespace as I build simple websites for clients, then hand over the logins to the client and move on. Unfortunately, Squarespace decided, without notice, to put up a pay wall, moving dozens of important features into a higher priced product tier without notice, and without care for the impact it would have on those customers. This change increases their cost by approximately 40%. Great for them, not so great for their fellow small business customers. 

  ### 20. Could be much, much better

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 12, 2017

**What do you like best about Squarespace?**

They make it easy to start a site from scratch and have it not look terrible. They have decent customer support, are very friendly and they were helpful getting the site up and running.  

**What do you dislike about Squarespace?**

They refuse to add new features.  People have requested password protection/membership site support literally for years.  Among many other features.  And while they remain very friendly people, they just don't seem to listen to their customers repeated requests for features.  

**Recommendations to others considering Squarespace:**

Consider a WordPress based solution.  Squarespace has easier setup.  But you will be stuck with their lack of features. 

**What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?**

They allowed me to run a simple site that with a LOT of patchwork of 3rd party solutions I was able to make work for my purposes for a while, maintaining a low level membership site.  

  ### 21. Worse than Wix. Don't opt for this site builder

**Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Forge D. | Founder, Marketing and Advertising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 15, 2017

**What do you like best about Squarespace?**

The only thing I like about this builder is the minimalist approach to drag and drop design.

**What do you dislike about Squarespace?**

Squarespace has dreadful customer service, a huge lack of necessary plugins, widgets and no access to code. I would rather my tiny business owners use Wix over squarespace. There's such a limit to what you can do.

**Recommendations to others considering Squarespace:**

Don't use Squarespace. Consider Wix if you need an easier drag and drop builder or choose Wordpress as your best bet for a CMS.

**What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We don't even offer to build Squarespace sites for clients anymore. I truly steer clients away from choosing this content manager.

  ### 22. Easy to use, but not a lot of features

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Public Relations and Communications | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 10, 2017

**What do you like best about Squarespace?**

I like that Squarespace is easy to use and user friendly for people that aren't familiar with websites or web design, they make it very easy to put together an efficient website. 

**What do you dislike about Squarespace?**

While it is easy to use, there are a lot of features lacking and it can be hard to set some easy features that you would need for a website to function.

**Recommendations to others considering Squarespace:**

Don't use Squarespace. Get things right the first time by using Wordpress, so you can get full features for things that you need and have a professional looking site. 

**What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Nothing really, I have asked that all my clients function through wordpress.

  ### 23. Awful

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 24, 2017

**What do you like best about Squarespace?**

this was easy to set up, and a pretty interface for customers

**What do you dislike about Squarespace?**

Not scalable as your business grows, gets really complicated to use if you start to have multiple verticals or need to track inventory or want to migrate the data to another platform to execute another part of your business 

**Recommendations to others considering Squarespace:**

If you really have a very small business, this is adequate. Otherwise, you will need a real ERP software

**What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Need a real ERP software

  ### 24. Squarespace is annoying but ok

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Graphic Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 22, 2016

**What do you like best about Squarespace?**

In general they have ok themes and a squarespace store can appear fairly professional with out too much fuss. There are different payment plans depending on your needs which is also a nice feature. You don't pay for hosting, but there is a monthly fee. 

**What do you dislike about Squarespace?**

The squarespace back-end in theory is supposed to be simple for beginners but its glitchy and really impossible to make refinements to.

**Recommendations to others considering Squarespace:**

The quality of support is ultimately going to come from the theme developers so make sure you read reviews and dont just go with the cheapest option. 

**What problems is Squarespace solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I run a small design studio and service a wide array of clients. Often, I have new businesses looking to open an online store. Squarespace is a good trial in my opinion versus spending a ton of money on a fully customized ecommerce site just to learn that you didnt become an overnight success. Its a small investment that can adapt and grow with you.
