This post will present the best Squarespace alternatives by the reason you are considering choosing (or moving to) another website-building alternative.


If you are moving because of:


  1. The price

  2. The ease of use

  3. Better eCommerce features

  4. SEO

  5. Blogging features

  6. Templates

  7. Customer support

  8. Site’s speed

  9. Marketing features

  10. Design flexibility

  11. Globalisation features (languages) 

  12. App store

  13. You are an agency 

  14. Tip for creators and businesses (regardless of your website builder)



The Price

Then check Weebly, Wordpress, uKit, or Wix. 

The ease of use

Then check Jimdo, Weebly, or stay with Squarespace which is relatively easy to use. 

Better eCommerce features

Then go for Shopify, or explore WooCommerce and 3dCart

SEO

Then go for Wordpress, which is better than Wix and Squarespace. 

Blogging features

Again, Wordpress. If you insist on another option then Duda. 

Templates

Squarespace excels at Templates, but if you look for more variety, go for Wix. Webnode also has beautiful templates. 

Customer support

Then you probably had one bad experience with Squarespace because from my experience their support is superb. I recommend not looking for alternatives to Squarespace based merely on that. 

Site's speed

I hear you. Squarespace is a bit slow. Webflow, Wordpress and Wix will load faster. 

Marketing features

Squarespace has pretty good marketing features, but Wordpress (with all its plugins) or Duda could be better. 

Design flexibility

The simple, more flexible solution would be Wix, but if you are not afraid from some learning curves, you can’t get better design-flexibility then Webflow. 

Globalization features (languages)

If you are looking to serve clients from different countries, then Duda and Webnode are your best options. 

App store

Wordpress, Shopify (if you are selling online) or Wix

You are an agency

Duda is by far your best option. 

This is a full list of Squarespace alternatives:

  1. Wix

  2. Duda

  3. Wordpress

  4. Weebly

  5. Webflow

  6. Webnode

  7. Shopify

  8. uKit

  9. Jimdo

  10. WooCommerce

  11. 3dCart

Pro Tip

A great way to connect with your customers/community is by using ConvertKit, which helps you to automate your email marketing and tailor it to different use cases based on what they do/don’t do. I use it and I reviewed ConvertKit here.
