Squarespace Benefits

Benefits

The main benefits of Squarespace are its ability to create visually stunning websites, how it helps users make money off their sites, and its SEO and marketing tools.

Because it is a website builder that is intuitive, websites created with Squarespace are both visually stunning and very responsive to visitors, giving them a rich online experience. Site building is made easy and enjoyable by the software’s integrations and features and the product is kept intuitive by updates that arrive constantly.

A Content Block feature makes it easy to add elements to a page and also allows users to be in full-screen mode while editing. A built-in help box assists users throughout the process, which is already easy to pick up on its own.

The Style Editor allows users to switch templates and add logos, as well as change template fonts and colors. Button, link, and header colors can also be tweaked. An integration with Aviary also makes online photo editing possible. Squarespace users can also search, preview, and purchase licenses from Getty Images and use it on their site.

Squarespace is also a solution that can add content to a blog post, which can then be added to the web pages the user creates. Users can also save, schedule, and publish posts at a later time. An RSS feed can be enabled, and icons can be made for liking and sharing posts as well as for comments. Users can set it up for iTunes podcasting, and use email to make new posts.

With Squarespace, users can easily add product pages and immediately start selling so they can earn money from their sites. Downloadable services and products to physical goods can be sold on sites made with Squarespace. Pages can be equipped with a shopping cart, with a page and URL for every single product.

PayPal and Stripe are the two payment gateway options that are available to Squarespace users. Users can also publish the terms of their privacy and service agreements, as well as set up express checkout. The Squarespace integration with Xero also provides users with accounting support.
