Why I Work with Squarespace (And Why It Might Be Perfect for You)

If you're planning a website—whether for a new business, a passion project, or a personal brand—one of the first big questions is:
“What platform should I use?”

There are tons of options out there, but one platform I keep coming back to—again and again—for the right clients is Squarespace.

Let me tell you why.

What Is Squarespace, Anyway?

In simple terms, Squarespace is an all-in-one website builder. That means:

  • You can design, build, and manage your website in one place.

  • Hosting, security, templates, and even e-commerce tools are all built in.

  • You don’t need to know how to code (seriously!).

Think of it as a smart, sleek toolbox that gives you everything you need to create a modern, professional-looking website—without the stress.

Why I Recommend Squarespace

Not every platform is right for every person. But if you’re someone who wants a clean, reliable, and easy-to-manage site, Squarespace is a fantastic choice.

Here’s why I love it—for me and my clients:

User-Friendly for Non-Techies

You don’t need to be a web developer or designer to make changes to your site.
After launch, most of my clients feel totally comfortable updating their own:

  • Text and images

  • Blog posts

  • Event details

  • Product listings

  • And more

If you can update a Google Doc or post to Instagram, you can probably update your Squarespace site.

🎨 Beautiful, Professional Design (Without Starting From Scratch)

Squarespace’s built-in templates are stylish, flexible, and mobile-responsive—so your site looks great on phones, tablets, and laptops, right out of the gate.

Even better: I can customize those templates to reflect your brand, so your site doesn’t look like a cookie-cutter version of someone else’s.

🔒 Secure, Reliable, and Low-Maintenance

With Squarespace, you don’t need to worry about plugin updates, backups, or weird tech glitches breaking your site. It’s hosted on their servers, which means:

  • Fast loading times

  • Built-in security

  • Regular updates (handled for you)

  • No third-party plugins to babysit

It just works—and that’s a big deal.

🚀 Perfect for DIY Clients Who Want Ownership

I love working with clients who want to feel empowered—not dependent—after their site goes live.

With Squarespace, I can handle the initial design, setup, and launch… and then hand the keys over to you, knowing you’ll be able to:

  • Keep your content fresh

  • Make seasonal updates

  • Add new blog posts or products

  • Grow your site as your business grows

And if you ever need support or want to refresh the design? I’m always here. But you’ll never be stuck waiting on a developer for every tiny update.

In a Nutshell

Squarespace is clean. It’s modern. It’s manageable.

If you’re the kind of person who wants to feel confident making updates to your own website—but doesn’t want to get bogged down in tech—it could be the perfect fit.

I use Squarespace because it puts you in the driver’s seat, with a site that looks amazing, runs smoothly, and grows with you.
