Yes, for the right kind of business. Squarespace still has some of the best looking templates around, handles hosting, security and updates for you, and is easy to edit, which suits portfolios, studios, professional services and small shops. The catch is that a template site can look like everyone else’s, which is what our Squarespace website design work is built to fix.
Where it is strong
Design quality out of the box, a simple editor and very little to maintain. For a business that wants a polished site it can update itself, it is still a very good choice.
Where it falls short
You have fewer add-ons and less control than you would with WordPress, and larger shops can outgrow it. The more common problem is not the platform at all. Pages get built around the template instead of around what customers search for, and nobody connects the analytics.
Should you switch?
If your Squarespace site is not bringing in enquiries, the platform is rarely the reason. A redesign that gives each service its own page and a clear structure usually does more than a move.
