Our Verdict

I'm a creative professional, and Squarespace has been an essential tool for me. Its intuitive interface, versatility, and powerful marketing features have allowed me to showcase my work in a professional and engaging way. Squarespace is a great choice if you're looking for a website builder that can help you go public to the world with your creative work. Yes, the ecommerce fees are high and a lot of the templates feel a little predictable, but these are small niggles to a great platform.
