Why I am in Love with Squarespace
Squarespace is like the ultimate website platform! I absolutely love it and all that it offers. I have used other web hosting platforms but I am truly smitten with Squarespace. There are many reason so let me just get into some of them now.
This platform offers clean and sleek design templates to help you get started designing the website of your dreams. NO CODE NEEDED! I love the ease of the editing capabilities that allow you to change every aspect of the template. This is definitely a platform for the tech savvy woman that is comfortable creating on a computer. Also, they have tutorials that cover every area from start to the actual launch of your website.
“In 2018, 52.2 percent of all website traffic worldwide was generated through mobile phones”. Having a mobile responsive website is a must in this day and age if you want to effectively showcase your work to your potential clients. Squarespace offers a mobile responsive version of your website with no added design time. As you are creating, adding and updating your desktop website, the same information in being transferred to your mobile responsive website. It is as easy as a click of the button to switch between desktop, phone or tablet view. This is such a helpful tool to ensure all your information is being received as planned across all devices.
If you want to add a blog (written content) or podcast (recorded audio content), this is definitely your platform because the hosting IS INCLUDED IN YOUR WEBSITE FEE!!! That is correct! You do not have to pay extra podcasting fees to start your very own podcast. You can start sharing you content with the world as soon as you launch your new website! This is just so awesome to me.
For those of you that will be selling products or services, this platform already has built in ecommerce capabilities. You will be able to set up your store and receive online payments through your website. They currently support Stripe and PayPal platforms for payment processing. You can add product photos, descriptions and even keep up with your inventory through the website. I have just included some of the main offerings but there is so many more that they offer.
Lastly, they have awesome customer service! You can contact them via email, chat or phone whichever you prefer. I have always received the best support and had my issues resolved in a timely manner when I reached out for assistance.
I hope this blog helps you to make the decision of what website hosting platform you should choose. If you have any additional questions, please just leave them in the comments below and I will definitely reply as soon as I get it!
