Wix, Weebly, WordPress, Webstarts, Webnode and Squarespace are all capable platforms to help you create your unique website for your small business. How do you know which one will be the perfect platform for you to use and do people have a preference?
Personally, the platform that I enjoy using and recommend is Squarespace. Below are my six top reasons why I chose and recommend Squarespace:
#1 User–Friendly
One of the best features about Squarespace is that it does not require you to be a professional coder or web designer to have a clean, professional and customizable website. Squarespace has plenty of templates to choose from and even breaks it down into categories such as portfolio, restaurants, etc. to choose one that would best suit what you are looking for to bring your vision to life.
#2 Polished Look
Your website is the visitor’s (and potential customers) first impression of you and you will definitely make a great one with Squarespace. The templates offered are sleek in design and have a variety of options that you are able to choose from to achieve the clean and polished look that you desire.
#3 Customer Support
If you do have a problem, a question or a concern, Squarespace has stellar customer support and they are there for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This is often unheard of and is so convenient in the technology world. They guarantee a rapid response (and live up to their guarantee) when you reach out to them for help.
#4 Affordable
Though there are other platforms that can be built for free, Squarespace gives you the most value for your money and is extremely affordable. They offer two pricing plans: personal and affordable that are between $12 and $26 per month depending on the features that will work best for your website. If you are a student, they have an incredible student discount where you receive 50% off for your first year of using Squarespace if your school is participating in the program. You will have to use your school email address when you sign up.
#5 Mobile Friendly
It is vital that a website is compatible for both desktop and mobile versions and Squarespace does an excellent job of making sure that your website looks perfect on tablets and on phones as well. The format of the website is the same on a phone as it is on a computer with the only difference being the scale of it.
#6 Customizable
Though templates are selected as the foundation of your own website, there are still ways to customize it to make it your unique page such as the fonts used, colors selected, size of blocks and images as well headings. Squarespace gives you the ability to create a beautiful website that is able to add your own unique personality into the site.
