5 Reasons I Love Designing on Squarespace
THIS IS PART 1 OF THE ESSENTIAL BUSINESS TECH STACK: THE 3 TOOLS I SWEAR BY FOR A SEAMLESS CLIENT EXPERIENCE | Read Part 2 HERE and Part 3 HERE
When it comes to designing websites for my clients, Squarespace is my go-to platform. It gives business owners a beautiful, high-performing website that’s easy to manage, secure, and scalable—without the tech headaches.
I choose Squarespace because it simplifies the process for both me as a designer and for my clients once they take over. If you’ve ever worried about keeping your website updated without hiring a developer for every small change, you’re in the right place.
Let’s dive into why Squarespace is my platform of choice and why it might be the best fit for your business too.
1. It’s Actually Easy to Use (No Tech Headaches!)
A website shouldn’t feel like a part-time job just to keep it updated. I love designing with Squarespace because it gives my clients control without overwhelming them. I have no doubt that my clients can make common edits without my help because of how easy Squarespace is to use.
Other platforms?
Some are too complex, requiring constant tech support.
Others are too simple, making it easy to break the design without realizing it.
Squarespace?
Clean, intuitive backend (no coding needed!).
You can update text, swap out images, and add pages without stress.
If you want customizations, I handle the CSS coding & plug-ins to elevate your design while keeping it user-friendly.
You won’t be locked out of your own website or stuck emailing a designer for tiny changes. You’ll actually be able to manage your site with confidence.
2. Built-in Security & SEO (Because Nobody Has Time for That)
Unlike other platforms where you have to install third-party plugins for security, SEO, and maintenance, Squarespace has it all built in—no extra setup required.
✔ Security:
Comes with free SSL certificates (the little lock in the browser that tells visitors your site is secure).
No need for third-party security plugins—Squarespace handles all updates and security patches for you.
✔ SEO:
Automatically optimized for Google—no confusing settings or extra SEO plugins needed.
Mobile-friendly right out of the box (which helps with rankings).
Clean URLs and metadata fields so you can tweak your SEO without hiring an expert.
Everything you need to stay visible, secure, and professional is included—without extra fees or stress.
3. It’s an All-in-One Platform (No Piecing Things Together)
With other website builders, you have to buy separate hosting, connect plugins, manage software updates, and figure out integrations on your own.
With Squarespace, everything is built in:
✔ Website hosting included (no need to manage separate hosting services)
✔ Custom domain & email setup available
✔ E-commerce, appointment booking, and email marketing—all in one dashboard
✔ Seamless blog setup
📌 Why This Matters:
You won’t be bouncing between a million platforms trying to keep your website running.
No extra costs for security, hosting, or keeping your site from breaking every time there’s an update.
For small businesses, this is everything.
4. Customizable & High-End Design (No Cookie-Cutter Templates)
Squarespace is known for its clean, modern templates, but that doesn’t mean your site has to look like everyone else’s.
What I Do for My Clients:
Write custom CSS to add animations, scrolling effects, interactive FAQs, and sleek design elements.
Use premium plug-ins to add functionality and make your site work exactly the way you want.
Customize colors, fonts, and layouts so your site is 100% on-brand and unique.
If you’ve ever scrolled through Squarespace templates and thought, this looks nice but a little basic, don’t worry—that’s where I come in.
I make Squarespace look custom-built without the headache of a fully coded site.
5. Squarespace is Affordable for Small Businesses
Squarespace offers plans that fit a range of business needs—whether you’re launching your first website or upgrading to something more professional.

They also have award-winning 24/7 customer support. No matter which plan you choose, you get direct support from Squarespace’s team whenever you need it, which is major for me because I use it A LOT.
