Why Squarespace websites work best for small businesses
Squarespace is a powerful, user-friendly platform that is a perfect fit for entrepreneurs running a small business.
No coding skills required.
Drag-and-drop interface lets non-technical business owners make updates easily.
Robust templated functionality and customization, which reduces development time.
A fully managed website platform means no plugin updates or backups required, unlike WordPress.
Zero technical maintenance. Low WordPress or plugin updates.
Built-in SEO, analytics, and marketing tool integrations, such as email welcome messages, to keep your business visible, operational 24/7, and mobile-responsive.
Squarespace has an app, available in Apple’s App Store or Google Play, making it easy to update your website wherever you are.
Squarespace has a Fluid Engine, making it a drag-and-drop website editor that helps non-techy folks design for mobile. In contrast, competitors like Wix website editor are partially responsive, meaning some elements will not be fully mobile-responsive.
Squarespace websites work best for entrepreneurs when paired with a website designer, as they know the platform inside and out. They offer support via email, phone, and chat, plus their support website is well-documented and accessible 24/7.
This is especially helpful because, as an entrepreneur, you can call Squarespace support or read the documentation to avoid paying a web designer for development support and allocate those funds to other digital marketing strategies.
And did you know, Squarespace also offers a lot of freebies? Your domain registration is free, including a professional Google email address for the first year.

E-commerce Squarespace Website Package – Advanced analytics and integrations for e-commerce.
All sites are customized, mobile-responsive, and SEO-optimized to convert visitors into clients through keyword research based on audience intent.
Built-in SEO and analytics
As experienced Squarespace designers, we understand how to structure pages for on-page and technical SEO. Things like headings, URLs, and metadata so your site can actually be found on Google.
We design Squarespace websites with on-page SEO and technical SEO tailored to your customers’ keyword intent.
Self-hosted WordPress websites need to add-on plugins that require updates and maintenance, while Squarespace simplifies SEO for non-technical entrepreneurs.
SEO and Strategy First, Not Just a Pretty Site
As Squarespace designers, we build your website with clear goals in mind — SEO, traffic, leads, bookings, or sales. We do more than focus on the way a web design looks.
Squarespace offers built-in Search engine optimization (SEO) tools, website analytics and performance tracking, and content management tools, without the technical hassle.
These features ensure your website isn’t just pretty-looking, but also easy to discover and track performance.

Launch Faster with Squarespace Website Designers and Fewer Headaches
Experienced Squarespace designers know the platform inside and out, which means fewer mistakes, a smoother setup, and a faster go-live timeframe than with DIY builds.
Local businesses can get online quickly with a professional Squarespace site that’s ready to show up in local searches, accept inquiries, display location, hours and services without long development delays.
Service-based businesses can launch fast, which means you can start booking clients and capturing leads sooner, without getting stuck in technical setup or platform learning curves. Squarespace offers robust marketing tools you can add anytime to the website as you grow online.
An experienced Squarespace designer, like Actually, avoids structural technical SEO mistakes that slow indexing and rankings, and ensures your site is search-ready from day one.
Mobile Optimization You Don’t Have to Guess At
Squarespace is mobile-friendly, making it nearly effortless to create a mobile website. Layouts, spacing, and content hierarchy still need expert setup and configuration to meet design best practices for real-world mobile users.
Many local searches happen on mobile, and a Squarespace designer ensures your phone number, directions, and calls to action are easy to tap and convert.
For service-based businesses, mobile-optimized layouts make it easy for prospects to read services, trust your expertise, and contact you from any device.
And did you know that proper mobile optimization improves user experience signals like bounce rate and time on site, which directly support SEO performance.
Custom Design Without Custom Code
We create brand-aligned, custom-looking websites with Squarespace tools, without the high development costs or required ongoing maintenance fees.
As a local business, a Squarespace website looks professional and helps you stay brand-aligned without the cost or complexity of custom development or ongoing maintenance.
A Squarespace designer creates a custom look for service-based businesses that builds trust and authority, helping you stand out from competitors who use free or Premium WordPress themes.
Squarespace offers lean, efficient layouts to improve crawlability and page performance, supporting technical SEO without the unnecessary code bloat that many robust Premium WordPress themes can cause.
Many web designers and agencies customize these WordPress themes, and these customizations affect speed, which, in turn, negatively impacts SEO.
Conversion Focused Layouts
From calls to action to page flow, a designer knows how to guide visitors to contact you, book, or purchase.
Squarespace makes it easy for you to see the user flow and which buttons are clicked in their analytics dashboard.
Pages are designed to guide visitors to call, get directions, or email. Squarespace makes it easy to program a link with the company phone number with just a user tap on mobile, get directions, or send an email, turning traffic into real customers.
Squarespace makes it easy to craft clear messaging without additional slider plugins or hero banners and videos, helping convert visitors into qualified leads with focused, easy-to-use layouts.
Platform-Specific Best Practices
Squarespace has its own rules and limitations. A specialist knows what works, what doesn’t, and how to avoid costly redesigns later.
Squarespace website designers ensure your site uses the platform’s tools correctly, avoiding design or SEO limitations that can hurt your site's visibility online.
Knowing Squarespace’s strengths and limitations prevents costly rebuilds and keeps your site scalable as your business grows.
Plus, an SEO-driven Squarespace website designer knows the platform-specific SEO tactics — like proper heading structure, indexable content blocks, and clean URLs — that maximize Squarespace’s ranking potential.
You Stay in Control After Launch
An expert Squarespace designer builds a site you can easily update yourself — no plugins, no updates, no backups, no maintenance fees, and no developer dependency. That’s how we work at Actually: putting you in total control, offering in-person, online, or training videos.
With Squarespace, it’s easy to update hours, add blog articles, update services, photos, and announcements without relying on a developer — so your website stays accurate and up to date for customers.
Squarespace also makes it easy for small business owners to manage services, pricing, availability, and content on their own, giving them the flexibility to adapt as their offerings evolve.
The best part of Squarespace is that it’s easy to make ongoing content updates, add pages, and refine SEO in-house, allowing you to improve rankings without technical barriers continuously.
