The problem
Why People Switch
from Squarespace
You're paying premium prices for a platform that limits what you can do.
Expensive Monthly Fees
Squarespace charges $16-72/month with no free plan. Even the cheapest option costs nearly $200/year just to keep your site online.
Templates Look the Same
Everyone uses the same handful of popular Squarespace templates. Your "unique" design is shared by thousands of other sites.
Limited Customization
Want to change something outside the template options? You need developer mode and custom CSS. Otherwise, you're stuck with what they give you.
Slow Page Load Times
Squarespace sites are notoriously slow, often taking 3-5 seconds to load. This hurts your SEO rankings and drives visitors away.
Annual Billing Lock-in
To get the "good" prices, you must pay annually upfront. Cancel mid-year? Tough luck. Your money is gone.
No Code Export
You can't export your site's code or design. Want to leave? You have to start from scratch somewhere else. You don't own your site.
