Frequently Asked Questions

Squarespace is a website builder platform and is both a product and a service. The product comes in the form of an intuitive drag-and-drop content management system. The service comes in the form of hosting, support, and analytics.

Squarespace plans range from $12 to $40 monthly, depending on your chosen plan and the feature set you need. Plans are billed either monthly or yearly. In my experience, 95% of clients go with their "Business" plan, which is $18 monthly when billed yearly. As a Squarespace Circle member, I can get clients an additional 20% off their first year of Squarespace.

Nope! You'll retain full ownership over the content you post on Squarespace. Even though the platform hosts your content on its servers, ownership of the content will always remain with you.

All Squarespace websites come with a free 2048-bit SSL certificate, which is created and renewed for you automatically. You can rest easy knowing that your website visitors have secure connections to your website. All security updates are performed automatically by Squarespace, so you don't have to worry about manually staying on top of your website security. This also improves your ranking in search results since Google favors secure sites and returns those results first.

Every Squarespace website has all the elements needed for a strong SEO strategy. Site descriptions, page titles, custom URLs, search-friendly formatting, and other key components are easily managed. Each site also generates a sitemap automatically that helps Google crawl, understand, and rank your website.

I’ve dialed in my process to get clients a fully launched website in as little as 2-3 weeks.
