Selection FAQ
Start with the website you need to build. Then consider whether online stores, services selling, and booking belong in your business toolkit. Explore the questions below to assess Squarespace against your requirements.
View QuestionsBegin with your pages and content. Then look at the technical questions behind your website.
Start with the purpose of your website, the pages visitors need, and the actions you want them to take. Separate essential requirements from preferences, then use the website-building overview to explore Squarespace against that list.
Blogging and portfolio websites are part of the Squarespace product offering. Consider whether your content is organized around recurring posts, a collection of work, or both. Use Content Planning to outline what you will publish and how visitors should find it.
Use Technical Fit to organize the questions that matter to your website requirements. Compare the available product guidance with your intended site structure and content needs, and identify any implementation questions you still need to resolve.
Beyond the website
A website is the foundation. Separate the additional functions your business needs before deciding what fits.
Treat your website and your store as related, but distinct, requirements. Squarespace includes an online-store product category. List what you need to present and sell, then compare those needs with the product information rather than assuming every operating requirement is covered.
Explore Small BusinessStart with how you describe your services on the website. Then consider selling services and taking bookings separately: what should a visitor be able to choose, and what information do you need from them? Explore Squarespace’s services selling and booking tools against those requirements.
Explore Service FirmsUse the same requirements for each tool. First assess the website you need to build; then assess any online-store, service-selling, or booking needs. Read the relevant product explanations and distinguish a described function from something you still need to evaluate for your own use.
