Squarespace is known for beautiful, design-led templates, and it’s a favorite of photographers, artists, restaurants, consultants and service businesses who want a site that looks premium with minimal effort. Its templates are carefully designed, and the editor keeps layouts tidy, so sites rarely look amateurish.
Key features include:
- Award-winning templates for portfolios and businesses
- A section-based editor with AI design help
- Built-in hosting, SSL and a free domain for the first year on annual plans
- Online stores, digital products and subscriptions
- Appointment scheduling and member areas
- Email campaigns and SEO tools
There’s no free plan, but there is a 14-day free trial. Plans billed annually start at about $19 per month for Basic ($25 monthly), then about $29 for Core, $49 for Plus and $99 for Advanced. Lower plans charge transaction fees on sales, while Plus and Advanced remove them.
Squarespace offers less design freedom than Wix or Webflow, and its app ecosystem is smaller. Some features, such as email marketing and scheduling, cost extra. For design-focused sites where looks matter most, though, it’s a top pick.
