Squarespace
Squarespace
Polished templates with hosting, domains, and booking built in
Squarespace is the easiest route to a site that looks designed. Scheduling, email campaigns, and a store are add-ons on the same bill. It is less flexible than WordPress and far less work.
Cost at your size
Squarespace costs $19 a month for one seat.
Squarespace costs $6.50 more than the median website builder tool for one seat ($12.50).
Squarespace pays for itself if it saves less than an hour a month at $30 an hour, our assumption.
