35. Is Squarespace Right for Your Business Website? Here’s the Honest Breakdown

Text the show

Squarespace is one of the most common platforms I see clients using—and I totally get why. It’s clean, easy to set up, and doesn't make you stare at a blank screen wondering where to start. But it’s not without its trade-offs.

In this episode, I break down exactly what works (and what doesn’t) about building your site on Squarespace. If you're in the research phase or already frustrated with your current setup, this is the episode that'll help you figure out whether Squarespace is going to support your business—or slowly drive you bananas.

Key Takeaways:

• Why so many small business owners are drawn to Squarespace—and when that convenience becomes a limitation
• What the platform does well
• Where things get sticky
• Why the basic plan isn’t enough (and what you actually need to budget for)
• What Squarespace is not built for—and when it makes more sense to look elsewhere

Thrive in 5:
Here are five questions to help you decide if Squarespace is the right fit for you right now:

1. Do you thrive with simplicity and structure—or do limitations make you want to throw your laptop?
2. Is “polished and good enough” a win—or do you need full control over fonts, colors, and layout?
3. What features are absolutely non-negotiable for your business today?
4. Are you good with the long-term cost, knowing upgrades and add-ons may be necessary?
5. Will this platform grow with you—or are you likely to hit a wall and need to rebuild later?

 If you're stuck trying to choose between platforms or trying to make the right call before you hit publish, let's talk. You can text the show or book a free consultation with me. I’ll help you pick the platform that actually makes sense for where you're going—not just where you’re starting.
