So, why Squarespace?
It’s one of the easiest build-your-own programs out there.
It’s a powerhouse with Google - they were the first platform to integrate with Google and having a Squarespace Commerce website automatically pushes you higher in Google rankings.
It’s incredible value for money being a high quality platform that starts from as little as $13/month.
There’s no hidden extras to do simple things like remove their branding from your site, add in an SSL (security certificate) or add different options to products in your store. It’s one simple monthly (or yearly) price, depending on the level of payments/ecommerce that you need your website to perform.
Marketing tools (such as a Pop-up or Insta feed), hosting and automatic mobile-friendly conversation is all included without having to add ‘plug-ins’ or custom coding.
