Why Squarespace?

I've worked across a lot of website platforms over the years. Squarespace is the one I keep coming back to, and the only one I build in for client projects. Here's why.

You own it

At the end of every project, full ownership of the site transfers to you. Your account, your domain, your content. No lock-in, no ongoing reliance on a developer for access or updates.

You can manage it yourself

Squarespace's content management system is genuinely easy to use. Adding pages, updating content, swapping images, publishing a blog post — none of it requires coding knowledge or technical expertise. You leave the project knowing you can run the site yourself.

It looks professional

Squarespace templates are well designed and highly customisable. With the right design direction the result looks considered and distinctive — not like a template. For businesses that need professional results without a custom development budget, it hits the mark consistently.

It works on every device

Every Squarespace site is fully responsive, designed to display correctly across desktop, tablet and mobile without separate mobile versions or extra development work. With the majority of web traffic now coming from mobile devices, this matters.

It does more than you'd expect

Out of the box, Squarespace supports ecommerce, bookings and scheduling, blogging, member areas, and email marketing. Most business needs are covered without reaching for custom development.

It connects to everything

A growing library of integrations and extensions connects Squarespace to the tools you're already using — Google Analytics, Mailchimp, Acuity Scheduling, Zapier, Xero, and more. Your website can do more without doing more work.

Search engines can find it

Squarespace includes built-in sitemaps, clean URL structures, and straightforward meta title and description fields for every page. It won't do your SEO strategy for you — but it won't get in the way of it either.

It's secure and reliable

Squarespace is fully hosted — nothing to install, patch or maintain. SSL security is included on every plan, keeping your site and your visitors' data protected. Uptime is consistently strong.

The cost makes sense

Squarespace hosting starts from around $23 AUD per month on an annual plan. As a Squarespace Expert, I can offer 20% off your first year of hosting when paying annually — making it one of the most cost-effective professional website platforms available.
