I like that Squarespace offers a platform that makes great design easy, but allows enough customization for advanced users to personalize their website. The interface is straightforward and the learning curve is moderate. Thoughtful UX design makes the design interface intuitive. It was reasonably easy to convert my existing site to Squarespace and integrate with custom forms designed in 17hats, my preferred CRM system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the many "add-ons" that now cost extra. I'd prefer an all-in-one platform price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Squarespace made plug-and-play design very easy. The interface is beautiful. The performance is great. The price is reasonable. The integrations it has work flawlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you need a customization or integration that Squarespace doesn't support, you are stuck. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stunning Templates: Squarespace really shines here. The templates are modern, clean, and immediately make your products look professional. If your business is highly visual (like art, photography, or high-end retail), this is a huge win.

Ease of Use: It's an all-in-one platform, which is great for non-technical users. Setting up the basics—adding products, customizing pages—is very intuitive. You don't need to mess with separate hosting, security, or many third-party plugins.

Integrated Commerce Tools: The built-in inventory, tax, and shipping settings are straightforward and sufficient for a small-to-medium-sized operation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited Scalability & Integrations: If you plan to scale rapidly, manage thousands of products, or need deep integrations with niche third-party software (like specific accounting or warehouse management tools), you might eventually feel restricted. It's not as robust as a dedicated e-commerce giant like Shopify.

Less Flexibility: While the templates are gorgeous, the design freedom is more contained than platforms like WordPress. If you need highly complex or custom layouts outside the template structure, it can be a bit challenging.

Pricing: The higher-tier commerce plans can get pricey, and you need to be on a commerce-specific plan to avoid transaction fees (which is a must-have for any serious seller). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the easy drag and drop features and also the clean and high quality pictures.

Just the fact that it's limited to designs

I've built my career designing websites on this platform, so you can say that I am in love with almost all the features! However, the best part about Squarespace is that it makes it easy even for non-coders or non-technical people to manage their websites while website designers like me can enhance the platform's native capabilities by adding custom code. The fluid editor is very responsive and intuitive and makes creating new pages a breeze! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd love to see more animations and editing tools! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple to use for less technical business owners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of features and customization for professional developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Squarespace easy to use for designing websites, and my clients find it easy too. I really appreciate how they improve the system all the time by adding new features weekly and taking on feedback. The initial setup was really easy for me, especially since I'm quite clever with technical stuff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like it's precoded templates and ease of use with most things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Despite the ease of use for most things, sometimes I wish you could just move things moreso how you'd like them, but everything has to be coded or done within the infrastructure of the code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have built several websites using Squarespace. I love how easy it was to learn, how easy it is to get help from the Squarespace community (Squarespace Circle) and maintaining websites from a agency standpoint. Integrations are also very easy! Custom coding available as well! Squarespace is becoming feature rich too with email marketing offerings too! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't say I have found anything I dislike about Squarespace. If you are looking for a more technical web builder then maybe? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Squarespace makes things infinitely faster, better-looking, easier to update and get a fantastic-looking website set up quickly and easily. I use it every single day for clients, and it is so much better than any other builder I have used. It's flexible, has amazing mobile responsiveness, has fast performance, and is great for SEO and schema. It integrates seamlessly with any embedded code needed, directly integrates with GA4, Search Console and other platforms. If you're thinking about making a website, I would recommend Squarespace over anything else, especially WordPress, which is eternally frustrating to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the Events settings on Squarespace, the date does not have a time zone function (one can be added fairly easily with some custom CSS) and there isn't a recurring event function which can be time consuming if you have a weekly or daily event, but at that point making a dedicated landing page is worth while and a reasonable fix.
