Un outil facile à utiliser et un résultat 100% professionnel!

Publié le 2022-12-04

Je suis solopreneure et je porte plusieurs chapeaux. Certains me sont moins familiers, tels que la création d'un site web, la vente en ligne et la gestion d'infolettres. Avec Squarespace, je me suis sentie à l'aise dès le début de la création du site web et le processus a été rapide et efficace. L'interface en backend est TRÈS conviviale comparativement à d'autres plateformes et le résultat est 100% professionnel. Le service à la clientèle a toujours répondu rapidement à mes questions (en anglais seulement) et l'implantation de la vente en ligne et de la gestion de mes produits numériques a été facile.

Avantages

J'ai adoré mon expérience avec Squarespace que j'ai utilisé près de 2 ans. La création du site web a été rapide et le résultat design est incroyable. Quand j'ai ajouté des produits numériques pour la vente, le processus a été facile et le service à la clientèle a répondu rapidement à mes questions.

Inconvénients

Le seul point faible majeur de Squarespace est, selon moi, la gestion de la liste des abonnés à mon infolettre. Comparé à MailChimp où j'avais plusieurs données sur ces derniers, Squarespace me donnait très peu d'informations et la gestion des tags était peu optimale.

Squarespace est simple d'utilisation et offre un large choix de templates personnalisables. La période d'essai de 14 jours m'a permis d'expérimenter la plateforme avant de m'engager dans un plan payant.

Malgré ses nombreuses fonctionnalités et avantages, cela manque parfois de plugins et d'extensions pour une personnalisation et une intégration plus approfondies.

The best web design platform available

Publié le 2019-08-04

I am designing 99% of my clients websites on Squarespace. It helps me get to market faster and easier, and deliver a product my clients love.

Avantages

I have been designing websites professionally for over 15 years and it's very rare that I don't design on Squarespace for clients. It's easy to use, the templates are beautiful, and there are so many features and endless flexibility.

Inconvénients

I wish custom code injection was available on the basic/personal levels. As of right now, you need to upgrade to the business account to inject any code in the header or footer.

Squarespace: elegant and user-friendly website builder:

Publié le 2022-12-27

Overall, Squarespace is a great option for anyone looking to create a professional-looking website without any coding experience. The elegant design and user-friendly interface make it easy to create a visually appealing website, and the comprehensive features make it suitable for a wide range of needs. While the higher price point may be a drawback for some users, the excellent customer support and comprehensive features may make it worth the investment for many.

Inconvénients

Higher price point: Squarespace is more expensive than some other website builders, which may not be feasible for all users but since we work with different e-commerce company they don't mind with what they pay.

Squarespace, perhaps the best first-generation low-code website builder

Publié le 2020-07-26

Squarespace is our goto for standard business sites including our site; we run heavy ecommece clients on Shopify, and anything more advanced on Duda or WordPress.

Squarespace does win the first-gen low-code war -- way ahead of Weebly, Wix, or some of the others. The platform needs to decide which next market to focus on to continue to be relevant as Duda, Versoly, and other 2nd-gen platforms emerge.

Avantages

Squarespace makes it easy to get websites up quickly -- we've built three, and all went from zero to launch within three days. If you just need some standard startup landing pages, Squarespace is for you.

Their customer support is great if about the basic blocks.

Inconvénients

Squarespace has some gotchas that make for substantial challenges beyond the first few months of business unless you're willing to either pay for external plugins or write code, and that comes with several major caveats, such as:

* weird things such as sliders for images simply don't exist
* custom CSS only applies at the site and not the page level
* spacing is somewhat odd with no fine-grain control
* certain JS plugins simply don't work on the site
* there is NO undo of any unkind except plaintext
* there is NO copy/paste or page templating

Perhaps the biggest issue is that it feels like Squarespace is trying to straddle the fence between being the leading CMS and the leading ecommerce platform and as a result it is neither. Frankly, the basic site experience is such that we'd be very reticent to ever deploy the ecommerce capability for a client, and so we use it for customers with mostly static content who blog a couple of times / week or less.

The lack of premium support for code issues further hampers their market share -- adding that as an option might provide more revenue for them and a way forward, as few other platforms do.

BEST website builder out there!

Publié le 2022-12-23

My experience has been excellent. As a graphic designer that add on web sites as an extra, Squarespace really makes it easy for me to knock up a simple site that a small business can use quickly. It's absolutely ideal for that and if you're considering using Squarespace, do it.

Avantages

How easy it is to use! I think you have to be from another planet to not be able to use the features, it's so quick and simple

Inconvénients

The only con I can think of is that it's still a little bit too expensive, but it's not far off so I can't complain too much.

Best way to accept online payments

I use Squarespace in the majority of my web design projects. I find the it much more user friendly than other online payment platforms. The support is head and shoulders above other payment gateways.

Inconvénients

Integration with Wordpress and Woocommerce.

Attractive and Simple Web Design

Publié le 2022-12-12

I have enjoyed web creation with Squarespace simply because it helps create super professional and attractive web design for your business!

Avantages

Squarespace helps you create super stylish and seamless web pages for your business. it has tons of pre-made layouts, bulk imagery and even if you are not creative you can make an intuitive and beautiful web page.I like that you can incorporate all aspects of business including mailing subscriptions, shopping carts and product purchasing, as well as multiple web pages.It also allows you to get a domain, or remain on trial which allows you to experience the product without committment.

Inconvénients

There are alot of components to get through, and endless options where it can become convoluted and confusing. There are many different ways to customise and present your page, however, there is help and guidance.

Quickest way to set up a professional and visually pleasing website!

Publié le 2022-12-01

Avantages

Using Squarespace makes it so easy to set up a website for a small business or independent contractor. So many templates to choose from that are easily customizable. In this climate, your website is your legitimacy and Squarespace is one of the best software to set up a website in a very short time.

Inconvénients

I wish you could customize every aspect of a template, but I understand that would be very difficult to accomplish. There are so many templates to choose from and the customizations you can complete are more than sufficient.

Well rounded but expensive

Publié le 2023-03-09

It's very good it's comparable to other leading brands just more costly

Avantages

This is not a bootstrap budget web bost and it could definitely have better designs and customize ability however it is very good though on the steeper side financial.it also has ease of access and features that justify some of the cost like more advanced tools and such but it's definitely not for a person to use of you are barely starting and going to take months just working on design. Pay this is you're ready to build and launch otherwise hold off

Inconvénients

The price is bad in my opinion when other leaders with good reputations are able to beat that drastically

Avantages

The ability to conduct business online made it much easier for me to manage my inventory and set up my online store. I was able to measure my traffic and sales while also optimising my site for search engines thanks to the built-in SEO tools and statistics.

Inconvénients

I was disappointed to find that their pricing plans are quite expensive, especially for small businesses or individuals just starting out. The cheapest plan still comes with a relatively high monthly fee, and some of the more advanced features are only available on the more expensive plans

You get what you pay for

Publié le 2020-12-01

After trying multiple free website building options, I finally relented and tried out the demo version on Squarespace to see what the learning curve would be like, and if it would be worthwhile ot go the paid route for a website. The answer was a resounding yes, and I've subsequently built 3 more sites with them since our first one.

I tell every new business owner starting out, check out squarespace, save yourself the headace of the free platforms that limit creativity, and watch your business grow by the day.

Avantages

Ease of use
Easing learning curve
layout options
customizations options
sleek templates
quick onboarding

Inconvénients

Towards the beginning of my experience with Squarespace, I needed some customer sesrvice and the process to find where I could go for help was not easy. This was back in 2017 however, so I'm not sure if that process has improved since then (I'd like to think so!)

Web Design, but make it fun.

Publié le 2019-12-11

I first started using Squarespace under another Photographer, whom I was managing their studio and day to day "to-do's". I took over her website maintenance and blog, to which was surprisingly easy to navigate. I loved how I was able to read analytics and see what content was working and what was not. The sleek layouts made a few easy clicks look like I spent 4 years in web design. So it was really a no brainer when I decided to start my own business; I knew I would be showing my work to the world through Squarespace. There is just something about the designs of these Squarespace websites that look stunningly polished and exceptionally functional.

Avantages

As a former user of Wordpress, I found Squarespace to be a breath of fresh air. I've be using it since 2014 and have never looked back. It actually made designing my website and grabbing analytics fun! When navigating the software, it felt like I had been here before. It was so easy to find the tools and customize the fonts and sizing to my preferences. Adding pictures in where I need them is easy and the layouts they offer display my work in such a beautiful fashion that even I'm blown away. All in all, I love this software because it offers so many different themes and customizations without being confusing. It's actually fun and I love that a blog is included with my site. It's like a whole other site to customize and tweak to your taste. I was never a blogger before but now I don't have a choice, Squarespace makes it too easy to make excuses now.

Inconvénients

There are very few things that come to mind when talking about disliking this software. I do wish there was a larger library of fonts readily available for each area of customization, across all themes.

Simple doesn't mean low quality

Publié le 2021-10-19

My client wanted to launch a new brand with a website fast. I chose Squarespace just to get us going, with the intention of migrating over to a WordPress build in the near future. 2 years later we're still on Squarespace, with no immediate plans to change. The website's performance and optimization is consistently top-notch, edits are easy, tracking code changes work well, and enough third-party tool integrations exist to account for our needs.

I wanted Squarespace because I hoped it would be quick and simple to set up. It was. I stayed with Squarespace because it's more effective and substantial than I initially hoped.

Avantages

Squarespace really is simple to set up and use. A lot of web building best practices are automated for you, with image auto-optimization, mobile-friendly templates, and ADA compliance features.

A few years ago the biggest issue with simple website builders like this was performance - drag-and-drop sites tended to be slower. Not the case anymore. All my Squarespace sites load well within Google Page Speed Index benchmarks, with image compression that doesn't reduce image quality at all.

Inconvénients

Squarespace will cause some issues if you're at either extreme of tech savvy: If you have zero background building sites, there will be a learning curve. I know their marketing makes it sound like you could build a site with your eyes closed, but do not count on it being that simple.

And on the other end, if you have deeper experience building sites and working with code, Squarespace can be a bit basic. You can't access a page's source code, block types can't be edited, and design functions are fairly limited.

Value and Simplicity, Meet Beauty!

Publié le 2021-07-04

I have now built over 10 full websites using Squarespace and each one continues to grow my knowledge and stretch my ability. As I aforementioned, you don’t need to be a pro, but if you are, designing an incredible, impactful and don’t miss this, mobile friendly website is simple and easy.

Avantages

The best thing about Squarespace is the ability to create gorgeous websites with little to zero experience. You don’t need to be an HTML wizard, but if you happen to be, you can still take full advantage of everything Squarespace has to offer.

Inconvénients

Honestly, it’s hard to say one. For the mid level prosumer, I haven’t found a single better option.

User of Squarespace for 9+ years - Loyal customer to a fantastic product

Publié le 2022-01-21

My overall experience has been outstanding. I will continue to use the product despite the cost. It is well worth the amount of visits I routinely get on the site where I know the viewers will have a smooth experiencing navigating the site. It just works!

Avantages

When it comes down to it, I'm convinced that Squarespace is the BEST option for portfolio websites short of hiring a designer which would cost significantly more for something better quality than what Squarespace has to offer. Beyond that, it's easy to customize, is a beautiful frame for portfolio work that makes the work itself look better and ultimately gives me credibility as a professional since the site just looks so good. I've put quite a bit of work into building the site over the last 9 years and change the theme every 3-4 years or so which requires days of work to get right each time. In between larger redesigns, updating the site is so easy and I know what to expect. The customer service has been outstanding for 9 years. It's more expensive than the other options out there but I'm happy to pay for how the product bolsters my work and ease of using the product. The analytics also are a huge win in allowing me to see how the site in performing - and to be able to monitor this on the go within the app.

Inconvénients

There are some limitations if you're very design focused like I am since the templates can only do what they were created to do which means that simple things like changing margins may not be as simple as you'd hope. There are lots of tools the "style editor" but sometimes it doesn't' cover all the bases. I've had to code things in when that was the case for things that I feel should be pretty easy to customize (like if I want an image full bleed but the template doesn't support it, you must code it in. This is only for a few select amount of customers who are detail-obsessed like I am. For the general user, the prebuilt templates are above and beyond what you'd hope for!

Also, sometimes browsers have a hard time keeping up with the editor and it can freeze or crash. This has gotten massively better in the last 5 years and hope to see this continue to improve.

All around, these are things I wish could be better but not complaining when there isn't anything comparable in the market for the look & functionality at a similar price point.

Squarespace is my favorite web design platform as a boutique web designer

Publié le 2020-10-04

I love Squarespace. I've been using it for over 3 years and have been able to quickly produce several websites with it. I'm a little disappointed by how much Squarespace is limited on design, but the tradeoff is worth it with how easy their platform integrates e-commerce, email marketing, scheduling, and inventory management all-in-one.

Avantages

Squarespace is clean, sophisticated, modern, easy to use, and has built-in features such as domain purchasing, email marketing, scheduling, and e-commerce that make it easy to run a business. With Squarespace, I can trust that my clients will be able to manage their website 100% by themselves once I finish designing it for them. With other platforms (like Wordpress), I cannot guarantee the same. I also like how transparent Squarespace's pricing and plans are. It's so easy to upgrade or downgrade as your needs change. In Squarespace, I can design a high-quality website extremely fast and share the draft with my clients easily.

Inconvénients

Squarespace is the least flexible of all the web design platforms that I work with in terms of design customization. There are a lot of different types of widgets and ways to display content that simply aren't available on Squarespace because the platform limits what you can change in the design (probably to prevent websites from turning out bad). I've also noticed that Squarespace websites typically load slower than some of the websites I've built on other platforms like Webflow and Duda.

Alternatives envisagées 

Webflow, WordPress, Duda et Shopify

Pourquoi passer à Squarespace

I can guarantee that all of my clients will be able to manage their website on their own, without any previous of website design knowledge or skills. Squarespace also has some of the best support articles and tutorials, so it saves me time answering customer questions.

Love hate relationship.

It’s a good option for the price, but as soon as I can afford more, I’m personally going to move on to a better website builder with more customization ability.

Avantages

I love that it looks classy even if you’re not familiar with how to use website designing softwares. This is mostly due to the fact that they only allow certain liberties to the user unless the user knows code. In other words, they do not allow the user to make major changes to their templates, because they had professional designers put the templates together so they’d look great! And why let the user mess with a professionally designed look?

Inconvénients

The fact that the user cannot change much means that intermediate users are out of luck. In my case, I am very familiar with how to make an appealing design, and I am also familiar with website builders in general, BUT I do not know coding so I can’t change details that way. Because I know more than a beginner, I get very frustrated at the limitations in design that I am dealt by Squarespace.

For instance, they only allow 3 font styles throughout the site, which I understand is a great design approach, but sometimes a different font size or color is NEEDED. Just saying! (Particular afternoon campaign you might want to feature on a particular page, a slight color variation so it shows up better on a photo, etc.)
