The support is also extremely responsive > > **Cons**: Unpredictable cost on once free features, that now might be paid. It's very much template focused with very little customization. > > Except for the constant reminder to save your work, my experience was good, not wow, but good. But because I am a WordPress expert, it does take some time to get used to this interface. ----- ### "Squarespace lifetime user" — 5.0/5 > **Ashleie** | *06 August 2026* | Program Development | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I LOVE squarespace. It’s really easy, almost too easy, to create a website. I’ve been using it for over 6-7 years now and the changes they’ve made have been easy to adapt to. The choice in page layouts are not complex and it’s worth the money. > > **Cons**: I wish I didn’t have to pay extra for the scheduling feature and that it was more CRM friendly. I have to use a different system and just integrate them. > > Overall I always recommend squarespace to everyone. It’s always going to be my first choice. I’ve tried other website creation platforms but to me, squarespace gives you more and makes it easy to standout. ----- ### "Squarespace does everything you need it to do." — 4.0/5 > **Pupp** | *24 July 2026* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The templates on squarespace are very good and you can set up a quality website very quickly. The drag and drop feature makes it easy for anybody to use. > > **Cons**: Some features which are quite useful are part of the higher price tier, for example to be able to use any custom code. > > Overall squarespace has been the perfect solution for setting up a website which looks good is easy to update and is customised to fit with our branding. ----- ### "Squarespace aesthetic and rigidity" — 3.0/5 > **Samitha** | *15 August 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Beautiful, professional templates and its intuitive drag‑and‑drop editor, which make building a polished site feel effortless. Great for small businesses. > > **Cons**: Design limitations show up when you try to customize layouts in ways the system doesn’t anticipate, especially compared to fully flexible builders ----- ### "Clean, Easy-to-Use Website Builder" — 5.0/5 > **Nikole** | *27 April 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Squarespace is extremely easy to use, even if you don’t have any experience building websites. The templates look modern and professional right out of the box, and everything is organized in a way that makes editing simple. > > **Cons**: One downside of Squarespace is that it can feel a bit restrictive when you want more advanced customization—compared to other platforms, you don’t have as much flexibility unless you know some code. > > My overall experience with Squarespace has been positive. It’s a very user-friendly platform that makes it easy to create a clean, professional-looking website without needing much technical experience. The templates are well-designed and the all-in-one setup (hosting, design, and basic marketing tools) keeps everything simple. That said, it can feel a bit limited when trying to make more advanced customizations, but for most standard website needs, it works really well. ----- Page: 1 / 138\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/143461/squarespace?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/143461/squarespace) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
