Squarespace: Launching a Website with Ease

Reaching customers can be tough, and a good website can make all the difference - yet many businesses are still without one.
A recent GOV.UK survey found one in three UK businesses didn’t have a website in 2024.
Sole traders and micro businesses were even less likely to be online than larger businesses, which means they could be missing out on growth and sales opportunities.
Building a website can be time consuming and costly, but the right tools make it much easier.
Let’s look at why Squarespace is a great choice for entrepreneurs.
Design features
Squarespace lets you create a professional site quickly and affordably.
The platform comes with a wide range of built-in features that make it easy to customise your site without any coding knowledge. Its features include drag-and-drop editing, pre-designed sections, and style settings for fonts, colours, and layouts.
You can also sell products with a fully integrated e-commerce store, manage bookings, launch email campaigns, start a blog, or create portfolios.
Templates and Plugins
You can choose from hundreds of templates and personalise them with fonts, colours, and images to create a unique look for your business.
Browse our website templates and easily make them your own.
Our unique plugins also let you customise your site’s functionality with features like advanced navigation and custom loading screens. All the code is ready to use, so you don’t have to write a single line yourself.

Squarespace Circle
Squarespace also offers support for designers and developers through Squarespace Circle, a community of experts who know the platform inside out.
As members of Squarespace Circle, our designers get access to special tools, early features, and helpful tips. This means the templates we make are easier to use, more reliable, and makes sure that your website looks professional and run smoothly.
Ease of use
One of the best parts about using Squarespace is how user friendly it is.
The drag-and-drop editor makes it simple for anyone to customise one of our templates, so you can have a polished, professional website up and running in no time.
With site styles, you can easily adjust fonts, colours, spacing, buttons, and other design elements across your entire website - no coding required.
Squarespace also has tons of helpful tutorials for users who are new to building websites so you can get started quickly and confidently.
Not to mention, if you ever need extra support, Squarespace’s customer service is available 24/7 by phone and email, so you’re never left in the dark.
Our support team is here to help you every step of the way, making it easy to customise and manage your website.

Affordability
The best thing about Squarespace is its affordability.
You can get started on your website for as little as £12 a month, which includes hosting fees and access to all their features and tools.
Unlike some other web platforms, there are no additional costs or hidden fees, so you only pay one flat fee each month and that's it.
Plus, they offer discounts when you sign up for longer periods of time so you can save even more money in the long run.
How to get started
There are many different web platforms out there but none quite like Squarespace when it comes to launching a new business website with ease and affordability.
You can start by browsing our template shop to find a ready-made design that fits your business and customise it to your needs.
If you’d like a more personalised website, you can also get in touch with us to discuss a custom solution. Visit www.thelonecrowd.com/contact.
