Create & showcase your creativity!
- Low overhead cost - no special Web Dev Team required
- Faster updates to the site as it can be done easily without much effort
- Analytics help make better marketing decisions for the future of the org.
- Reduced costs relative to creating and hosting a dynamic website
- Ability to seamlessly integrate online payment features into our site
- Hosting of blog built into space with some nice customizations
- I can see how squarespace can improve efficiency since it's so quick to build a site on there.
- For those who don't want to hook up a bunch of different stuff to their website and make it work...they most likely have whatever plug in you need and you can add it. Worst case scenario, they have developers you can hire who can make what you need.
- As your business grows you can add an online storefront to your site and make more money that way! Easy peasy!
- They have an easy system for adding special SEO words/phrases so you don't have to learn SEO at all!

Easy Peasy Get Up to Speed within Minutes!
- The cost is reasonably decent. My client says they spent about $20 a month or $240 a year. I asked her if she could add Google AdSense to her blog one day, and they believe they can. They said a custom site would cost them $3000-10,000 depending on who does it. And I agreed, but I found the website they created was on the lower end of that range.
- Over the past year, we have used Squarespace on 12 design projects for local-based companies in Cambodia.
- The sites we created are 1-10 page informational sites that may include blog sections.

Quick, Easy, Professional and Beautiful.
- Squarespace has allowed my business to remain agile and jump on opportunities.
- Squarespace has saved me tons of time and money in developing a website.
- Squarespace has let me focus on selling not building a website.
- The key positive impact on my overall business objectives is how simple Squarespace sites are to implement new information. Whenever our services change, we can quickly update pages or even change how the website flows, in a very short window of time. This allows me to get back to more urgent work sooner.
- Our Squarespace site for Club Swim Show helped present our web series to potential partners; Club Swim Show went on to partner with a popular swimming magazine and reach a larger audience through that magazine's hosting thanks to the professional design of our original website.
- Squarespace does not bring in customers to my storefront, which is fine for me, since I sell things infrequently and it is not my main business, but might work against someone who is expecting a Shopify or Etsy level connection with buyer markets.
- Squarespace enabled us to control the brand experience with our most loyal customers more effectively than driving them to listings on 3rd party marketplaces. We're able to offer customers discounts and offers that we didn't have before.
- We're generating 30% more sales now from organic search than when we were a marketplace-only seller.
- Outreach from brands in our industry has increased now that we have our own professional web presence. We have several sponsorships and other relationships that came to us as a result of our website and blog.
- Positive impact is that we have a website that generates leads.
- The cost of the software is low compared to other options that are out there.
- Helps us build websites for clients.

Squarespace for small non-profit organizations
- We collected almost $10,000 worth of donations through our Squarespace site this year.
- We sold $4,000 worth of products via e-commerce.
- Our visibility online is high - folks who are looking for us specifically or an organization like ours can find us quickly on Google and other search engines. Driving social media traffic to our Squarespace site also results in high engagement and donations.
- Squarespace allows us to present a compelling, clean message to our audience.
- Squarespace allows us an affordable, beautiful platform on a limited budget.

Squarespace is an excellent platform for simpler websites, but be aware of some e-commerce limitations
- Our direct to consumer selling platform is done primarily via our website so Squarespace is the major player here. We do sell on Amazon and eBay as well, but the majority of our direct to consumer revenue is generated via our website with Squarespace.
- Due to the above-mentioned deficiencies in making shipping costs product specific we do see a small percentage of loss in individual orders depending on where an order is being shipped to. We have to make sure our shipping prices are not exorbitant so in some cases the cost to ship a product is greater than what we charge the customer. This could be rectified is Squarespace would enhance the way they allow users to implement shipping charges.
- The clean look of the website, the ease of creating new content and the ability to add new products in the Commerce Advanced plan has surely allowed us to grow our sales with a clean look and added product offerings. Hard to measure though how much the can be attributed though directly to Squarespace.
