Squarespace Erfahrungen

Vorteile

Designtechnisch sicher gut. Jedoch sieht jedes Template gleich aus und man ist sehr eingeschränkt was Anpassungen anbelangt.

Nachteile

Es gibt mehr Nachteile als Vorteile. Der Kundensupport ist absolut nicht brauchbar.Datenschutz kann man mit Squarespace nicht umsetzten. So ist es unmöglich einen Kunden zu löschen.

Vorteile

Dieser Software bietet viel Möglichkeit zur Inhaltsveröffentlichung. Außerdem die Verwaltung von Dokumente sehr flexibel

Nachteile

Die einzige Nachteile, die ich herausgefunden habe, dass Man leider kein fertige Plug ins nutzen kann.

Vorteile

Ich schätze bei Squarespace am meisten, dass ich mit den Design-Einstellungen ganz einfach einen Stil für die gesamte Website festlegen kann.

Nachteile

Der neue Website Builder gibt zwar mehr flexible Möglichkeiten, jedoch ist diese dann jetzt nicht immer direkt mobil optimiert und mann muss hier etwas nachhelfen.

Vorteile

Squarespace bietet eine benutzerfreundliche Plattform, um professionelle Websites ohne große Programmierkenntnisse zu erstellen, mit einer Vielzahl von guten Vorlagen und integrierten Tools für Design, E-Commerce und SEO. Es ermöglicht eine nahtlose Integration von Funktionen und bietet zuverlässigen Kundensupport.

Nachteile

Squarespace ist weniger flexibel bei der Anpassung und erweiterbaren Funktionen im Vergleich zu anderen Website-Buildern, was für fortgeschrittene Benutzer einschränkend sein kann.

Vorteile

Anpassbare und schlichte Designs ermöglichen es eine schöne Website zu gestalten.

Nachteile

Essentielle Funktionen kosten zusätzlich Geld.

Vorteile

Squarespace ist eine meiner Top Websites. Ich kann tolle Websites für wenig Geld erstellen.

Nachteile

Website-Probephasen laufen ab. Dies ist nicht toll für ein kleines Unternehmen, welches kein Budget hat.

Vorteile

I like how easy it is to take wherever I am doing a pop-up shop or working with a client .

Nachteile

There is nothing that I can complain about when dealing with square space it’s very easy to use.

Vorteile

I really liked how easy it was to use and how many products you could integrate into the website.

Nachteile

I didn't like how it was a little more complicated it was to set up. To be fair I didn't watch the video's but it did take me a minute to learn how to set everything up. But, way easier to set up than coding it myself.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Squarespace

It was the best product I used compared to the other ones I was testing out, and although it cost a little more, I liked the features better that it offered, and the discounts.

Vorteile

Squarespace has sleek designs and is easy to use for people who do not want to do the leg work in setting up their website, as it allows people to simply input information into templates.

Nachteile

Very expensive for what it is. At a certain point, every template looks the same. Any type of customization that goes much further than changing text requires assistance from service representatives.

Vorteile

I appreciate Squarespace's design templates and how easy it is to customize them. The platform is easy to use even for those without coding experience, and makes it simple to create a professional-looking website quickly. The all-in-one approach, including hosting and domain management, is also a huge plus.

Nachteile

Yes, it is simple to use but one downside of Squarespace is its limited flexibility for advanced customizations, especially if you need more complex features. The pricing can be a bit high compared to other platforms, particularly for small businesses or personal projects.

Vorteile

The ease of use can’t be beat! I’ve been able to get 2 different websites up and running in a day. If you have most of your brand assets and guidelines ready, you can put up a site quickly and have something that functions even if you don’t have a tech background.

Nachteile

The eCommerce features are fine, but could use some updates and some fleshing out. But it’s still a great place to start.

Vorteile

I like that it works really well with other apps like Etsy and Squareup. It is pretty easy to set up with a template.

Nachteile

Editing items in my shop after uploading from Etsy is a bit cumbersome. (it is one and done). customer service for one of my web domains has been poor.

Much easier to use and much better templates to build websites from

Vorteile

It's integration of all things needed to fully set up a functional website.

Nachteile

Editing the site is a bit counterintuitive at first.

It seemed to be the simplest and most straightforward means of creating a website with all the features I needed in one place.

Vorteile

I liked how easy it is to navigate the website and the website builder especially.

Nachteile

Sometimes clunky. Sometimes glitchy but it is also most likely based on connection.

Vorteile

I spent a few days testing Squarespace. For small business owners or individuals looking to make their websites quick and complete, Squarespace is a good fit.

Nachteile

I wish there were more limited design options, and I wish some business tools were fleshed out.

Vorteile

I am an experiential designer so my website needs to really give a potential client a feel for what I do. After looking at several products available I selected Squarespace because I felt their esthetic best fit mine. There many beautiful templates to choose from.

Nachteile

I'm not a web designer but have clear sense of what I want my website to look like. I thought starting with a template close to where I would like the final site to be like would make the process easier and I could get it done on my own. Not the case. Step by step instructions are lacking in information. Inserting text and content is complicated and the final results were not what I originally thought I was getting and found myself making compromises left and right. The template you choose is populated with the elements (font & images) that caught your eye but you have to remove it all to build your content.If half way through you realize as I did this might be the best way to display my images after all you have to start all over again nothing transfers.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Squarespace

Squarespace looked more sophisticated. The Squarespace templates looked closer to what I wanted for my finished look. For me to get to the same place on WIX or Wordpress it was, it appeared, to be more work for me. I did trials on both but really wasn't that excited by what was possible but the directions and steps were much easier to follow.

Vorteile

The ease of creating and managing the website are its strongest suite. There is definitely a learning curve and not everything is intuitive out of the box. However, once you get through the quirks it can save substantial amounts of time creating content and maintaining the site into the future. It takes a lot of complexity out of website creation. It's a major relief to not have to worry about updating plugins and hoping something doesn't break. It's mobile friendly out of the box and much easier to handle things like image galleries or even selling products.

Nachteile

Every website must be on its own plan. No bundles or creating multiple websites on the same server. Choosing a template upfront can be tricky because it's hard to foresee what capabilities you'll need down the line and each template has its own abilities and quirks. You can always change the template but that often requires substantial reworking of the content. Also, you must work with the confines of what Squarespace can do. If you're trying to do something relatively complicated you're likely to run into roadblocks and limitations and you'll be stuck doing it the "Squarespace way" or not at all.

Warum Squarespace gewählt wurde

Updating plugins and the theme was tedious and could cause unknown headaches. Mobile support was trickier. Squarespace was much easier for non-IT people to update and contribute.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Squarespace

Felt it would be the easiest overall in terms of needed features while balancing overall simplicity.

Vorteile

At one time, Squarespace's slogan was "build it beautiful." They take this mantra seriously, as the platform makes it almost impossible to NOT make a beautiful website. Can it be restrictive? Yes. But in limiting the user's options, it often is doing them a service. If you absolutely must have functionality or an type of implementation Squarespace doesn't support, then you probably need the help of an expert (either a dev agency or a marketing/design agency) or you are yourself an expert – in which case, you probably should have started with a more sophisticated tool.

Nachteile

The one area where customization is often necessary is in CSS. A bit of custom CSS goes a long way toward making a site look less like a template. Just as having a clean crisp UI/UX is the bread and butter that makes Squarespace sites so attractive to small businesses, having a "one-of-a-kind" look can go a long way toward making those businesses look more credible. It is a delicate balancing act, which Squarespace usually nails quite well... but the lack of documentation on how the site treats custom CSS is a shortcoming. I basically end up anding "Important!" to everything, because it is impossible to tell what elements of my CSS Squarespace is going to arbitrarily overwrite with no explanation.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Squarespace

Listen... don't let their newly expanded advertising budget or the way Godaddy pushes them fool you. Wix makes ugly websites. I'm sorry, but it is just the facts. Squarespace is a bit pricier (although the pricing is more transparent in my option) but you get what you pay for.

Vorteile

I love that it looks classy even if you’re not familiar with how to use website designing softwares. This is mostly due to the fact that they only allow certain liberties to the user unless the user knows code. In other words, they do not allow the user to make major changes to their templates, because they had professional designers put the templates together so they’d look great! And why let the user mess with a professionally designed look?

Nachteile

The fact that the user cannot change much means that intermediate users are out of luck. In my case, I am very familiar with how to make an appealing design, and I am also familiar with website builders in general, BUT I do not know coding so I can’t change details that way. Because I know more than a beginner, I get very frustrated at the limitations in design that I am dealt by Squarespace.

For instance, they only allow 3 font styles throughout the site, which I understand is a great design approach, but sometimes a different font size or color is NEEDED. Just saying! (Particular afternoon campaign you might want to feature on a particular page, a slight color variation so it shows up better on a photo, etc.)

Vorteile

First of all, it is extremely easy to set up websites in no time. It has some cool and modern-looking templates that you might want to consider. It is user-friendly and not much knowledge of coding is required which makes it a good choice for many companies and people. Even though I didn't struggle much with anything whilst using this software, support was always there to help.

Nachteile

The way that the client can't change a lot, implies that expert clients are restricted and don't have much freedom. Other than the lack of freedom when choosing templates and editing fonts or just the way the website looks, I don't see any other downsides to this software.

Vorteile

Squarespace is amazing for putting together an attractive, professional website in no time. Having used various website builders over the years, I'd say Squarespace is the most beginner-friendly. The website templates are beautiful and very easy to edit - no coding or design skills required! Because of Squarespace's extensive customisable design elements, it is best for portfolio websites - where stylish layout is important and you don't need advanced e-commerce features. And being one of the most established website builder platforms around, you can also trust that your website will be secure.

Nachteile

Squarespace isn't so great in terms of e-commerce integration. For example, it lacks the infrastructure to create useful shipping options (e.g. free delivery over £50), which should be an essential e-commerce feature. If you're looking to build an online store, I wouldn't recommend Squarespace.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Squarespace

I switched from Wordpress because Squarespace was easier to use.

Vorteile

What I like most is it’s ease of use, new Fluid Engine and their stellar customer service.

Nachteile

At this point with the new Fluid Engine and new design features I cannot think of anything else I would want; however that doesn’t mean there aren’t always new features that can be added. What I do know is that Squarespace listens to their users and they have responded by adding incredible new features and functionality. They continue to provide the best quality and reliability for their customers and that’s what keeps me a Squarespace user.

I was regularly (weekly) being attacked by hackers and my site would be locked. It just wasn’t worth the stress. Plus I did not like having to purchase extra this and that plug-ins for everything and just to keep my site safe. It was a waste of time, effort and money.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Squarespace

Squarespace’s entire setup and onboarding is clean and simple and it works well for me. I’m able to follow all the steps and it is easy.

Vorteile

Squarespace makes designing and managing your website simple. Making edits, implementing redesigns are quick and easy to complete. This was the main reason we switched as we wanted anybody to be able to manage the website with no need for technical web skills.

Nachteile

Sometimes the way things work are not intuitive, they remain easy, but initially the way to achieve something is not always obvious. Additionally Squarespace in my opinion is not designed for high end, high functionality websites so for some the service may be limited.

Warum Squarespace gewählt wurde

Wordpress was to difficult to manage and we wanted a service that allowed for easy website management without the need of hiring a proffessional web team.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Squarespace

We had a wish list and Squarespace was the only one that gave us everything we wanted.

Vorteile

Squarespace is easy to set up (a site can be completed in an hour or less if you have all the info you need ready to go). Once a site is live, it rarely has any issues, becomes visible on Google fairly quickly, and there are no security worries to deal with as everything is hosted on THEIR servers, not mine. The templates are the best in the business and it's difficult to make a Squarespace site look ugly. Not impossible of course, but tough :) Drag and drop interface is great and integrations abound.

Nachteile

Squarespace has become increasingly expensive, moving more and more features to higher and higher tiers. Their e-commerce options are great for a simple store with few product options, but you cannot change the image of a product when a customer selects a variation of that product - like a different colour of shift, for example. This was a deal-breaker on a recent project and drove us toward Shopify.

Wix sites used to look terrible. They can now look pretty good (again, mileage may vary with templates and design skills). Bandzoogle has more features for bands at a better price point. Weebly has great design options. All claim easy drag and drop interfaces. All offer cheaper options than Squarespace for a similar feature set.

Squarespace domains are free for the first year only. Then, thye cost more than many other options. I found that one out the hard way.
