Why choose Squarespace

Squarespace is not the only website builder/CMS on the market; you may have heard of or considered using similar web-based tools such as Wix, Weebly, or Jimdo. You may have also compared Squarespace to more traditionally installed CMSes, such as WordPress, Drupal, or Joomla. In terms of power, flexibility, functionality, and ease, Squarespace sits somewhere in between these sets of competing products. For example, it's not as simple as something like Weebly, nor as complex and technical as something like Drupal. I believe that Squarespace offers the perfect balance: something that's very easy to set up, pretty easy to use, highly flexible, and incredibly powerful. You can create something that looks great without having to work too hard, and you have the option of digging deeper and applying advanced customizations if you want to.

Like other web-based tools, you don't have to worry about technical stuff such as servers or performing maintenance upgrades: they seamlessly take care of that for you behind the scenes. Yet, unlike some other web-based tools, Squarespace has been around for over 10 years, has an industry-leading 99.98 percent uptime, and uses multiple servers on the award-winning Peer 1 network to ensure your site's reliability. You also get access to 24/7 support, and for all but the cheapest Squarespace subscription plans, unlimited storage and bandwidth, without "throttling" (delays). This means you won't have to worry about caps on uploading or a slow/inaccessible site if you expect high volumes of traffic. Add to this the many third-party integrations that are available—such as email accounts, social media feeds, credit card processing, email newsletters, and more—and it's easy to see why Squarespace is a solid choice for business websites.
