Building a website is the first step toward online presence. As people started spending more time online, it’s imperative to have a website.
With the rising competition, not having a website means you will miss out on so much business.
If you want to launch your business website as quickly as possible, you can use a website builder.
There are various website builders like Squarespace and Wix. In this post, we will talk specifically about Squarespace.
How long does it take to build a Squarespace website?
It can take about a few hours to a few weeks to build a professional website using Squarespace. The time duration can vary depending on the developer’s skills and the project’s complexity.
➥ About Squarespace
Squarespace is quite a straightforward and easy-to-use website builder. Using this platform, you can develop an appealing website within a few hours. Website builders like Squarespace and Wix have become so popular for obvious reasons.
These website builders don’t require technical background; someone with zero programming knowledge can also develop an appealing, fully-functional website (using prebuilt templates).
Squarespace Pricing Plans
Squarespace has four pricing plans for different requirements:
- Personal – $23/month & $16/month (annual subscription)
- Business – $33/month & 23/month (annual subscription)
- Basic Commerce – $36/month & $27/month (annual subscription)
- Advanced Commerce – $65/month & $49/month (annual subscription)
If all you need is a basic business website, it’s so easy with Squarespace. However, if you want to create a complex eCommerce store using Squarespace, it will take longer. And you may want to hire a web developer.
✦ Should I Hire A Squarespace Developer?
Squarespace is a user-friendly, DIY (do it yourself) website development platform. The question is, if it’s so easy to create websites using Squarespace, then why one should hire a developer?
Though creating a basic business website isn’t difficult with Squarespace, if you want to create a website with custom functionality and design, it is good to hire a developer.
While there are so many pre-built templates on Squarespace, by hiring an expert developer, you can give custom look and feel to your website.
Here are the advantages of hiring a Squarespace developer:
- Experience & Expertise: You cannot match the expertise of a developer. An experienced Squarespace developer had already worked on many projects. With the experience and expertise of a developer, you can design your website the way you want to.
- Focus on user experience: A professional Squarespace developer will design and develop a website while ensuring the best user experience.
- SEO-optimization: Besides making it user-friendly, the developer will make sure your website is SEO-friendly as well. Making it SEO-friendly would help you rank your website higher on search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.
- Support: Developers do provide support after the completion of the project. Thus, you will have someone to manage your website and make the necessary changes to it.
