Squarespace is full of features that enhance the website building process. These include but aren’t limited to customizable templates, multiple content types, password lock on entire websites or specific pages, etc.
Domain management
There are more than 200 TLDs available to register through Squarespace and you automatically get free WHOIS privacy. If a domain is registered through a different platform, simply update the DNS to point at Squarespace. Every domain at Squarespace automatically has an SSL certificate associated with it.
Drag and drop site builder
The Squarespace drag-and-drop builder gives you a lot of control over the entire design process. You can choose from professional-looking templates and customize them to your heart’s content. You can change fonts, colors, and padding, forms, etc.
eCommerce functionality
Squarespace excels at providing eCommerce tools for its customers. These include basic and advanced features such as deep inventory management, selling products and services, selling subscriptions, product image zoom, flexible product variants, order management, and so much more.
Reliability
Squarespace has been providing its services for nearly two decades. During that time, it gained experience when it comes to keeping websites online. It has over 99.9% uptime over a rolling 90-day period. You can check this yourself using its status page. While it offers no guarantee, you can be confident that your site won’t have constant downtime.
Control Panel
Squarespace moves away from the traditional cPanel that so many web hosts use. Instead, it built its own control panel from the ground up. From the dashboard screen, you’re able to access your websites, account settings, additional subscriptions, sort out billing, and more. The dashboard is intuitive and even a beginner can understand how to use it with little or no guidance.
