Unlike many of its competitors, Squarespace <\/b>doesn’t <\/i><\/b>let you launch a website for free.<\/b> You can check out Squarespace’s website builder through a free two-week trial,<\/b> but you’ll have to pay monthly fees if you want a long-term account.<\/p>\n Are Squarespace’s paid plans worth it?<\/b> Yes.<\/p>\n Overall, Squarespace is a powerful, stylish, and user-friendly website builder that will give you a professional-looking website in as little as an hour.<\/p>\n The lack of a free plan might seem like a turn-off, but consider how limited the free plans of competing website builders can be. If you only need to launch a test website or a small project that’s not meant for public viewing, then Squarespace isn’t a cost-effective solution. However, for any other serious website, you’ll need to ditch ads, get greater control over your branding and website performance, and have a powerful toolkit that helps you make an unforgettable impression. All of the best website builders will ask you to pay to tick all those boxes, and in that field, Squarespace delivers better value than most.<\/p>\n Which Squarespace plan should you get? <\/b>Each of Squarespace’s plans has its selling points. If you’re looking to build a personal website, portfolio, or blog, the Personal or Business plans will work well.<\/p>\n However, if you’re planning to sell anything through your website, Squarespace’s ecommerce-specific plans (Basic or Advanced) are the way to go. Springing for either Basic or Advanced will get rid of the 3% commission that Squarespace would otherwise deduct from your sales, plus you’ll get access to features like customer accounts and advanced analytics that can help your store grow into a full-fledged online enterprise.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
