Why We Love Squarespace for DIY Websites
So, you've decided to embark on the exciting journey of DIY-ing your website. Bold move! We're all about that at Constant Creates and plan to even make a Template Shop soon to make it even easier for you. Creating your own website is a great way to get intimate with your brand. The big question is, which platform should you use? We absolutely love Squarespace, and we think you will too. Here’s why.
The Advantages of Squarespace for DIY Websites
Squarespace is an amazing website builder that has a lot of features that make it stand out from the rest. One of the reasons we're head over heels for Squarespace is because it's as user-friendly as a platform gets. Even if you don't know your CSS from your RSS, Squarespace has got your back. With its drag-and-drop interface and editor, building a site is as easy as pie, even if you have no experience with coding or web design. If you can dream it, you can do it!
In addition to its user-friendliness, Squarespace offers a wide range of design options to choose from. With its wide collection of designer-made templates, you can find the perfect starting point that suits your preferences. While the templates they provide aren’t the best to publish as-it, they are fully customizable, so you can make them unique to represent your brand. With a bit of work, you can tweak colors, fonts, layout, and more until your site is a perfect reflection of you and your brand.
Oh, and we can't forget about e-commerce. If you're planning to sell products or services, Squarespace has a built-in e-commerce platform that allows you to sell with ease. You can set up shipping and tax rules, add product listings, manage inventory, and more. Squarespace also integrates with popular payment providers like Stripe and PayPal, making it easier for your customers to purchase from you.
Did we mention the blogging capabilities? If you'd like to share news, tips, or thought pieces, Squarespace makes it a breeze to share content with your audience. Plus, your blog posts can help improve your SEO, driving more organic traffic to your site. It's a win-win situation!
Speaking of SEO, Squarespace has built-in SEO tools designed to boost your visibility on search engines. Simply fill in your site title, site description, URL slugs, and alt text for images, and voila – your site is SEO-optimized!
Last but certainly not least, Squarespace ensures that your site is mobile-friendly. With more and more people browsing the internet on their phones, it's essential that your site looks just as good on a small screen as it does on a big one. Squarespace's designs are automatically responsive, meaning they adjust to look great on any device, and you can customize your mobile view to make it even better.
It’s not always easy to do, but once you figure out the bells and whistles, Squarespace can build seriously dreamy websites. After hundreds of hours put into creating websites for our clients, we at Constant Creates have mastered the art of the Squarespace website, so if it ever is a bit difficult, you can reach out to us at any time for a 1-on-1 coaching session, or a custom website design! All in all, Squarespace is a website builder that offers tons of features that make it easy to use, flexible, and powerful. Whether you want to create a simple blog or a complex e-commerce site, Squarespace has got you covered. If you want a guide to help you along the way, check out the DIY Website Launch checklist!
