Why we love Squarespace CMS and how it Can Help You Grow Your Business

The best content management systems are the ones that are easy to use and help you manage your website's content effectively.

There are many different content management systems available, so it's important to choose one that is right for you and your website. There are a few things to consider when choosing a content management system.

First, you need to decide what features you need. Many content management systems offer a variety of features, so you need to select the one that offers the features you need.

Second, you need to consider the ease of use. Some content management systems are more user-friendly than others. Make sure you select a content management system that is easy to use and navigate.

Finally, you need to consider the price. Content management systems can vary in price, so be sure to select one that fits your budget.

Ecommerce features: adding a shopping cart

Squarespace's in-box solution is a no-brainer. You can use your website to construct online shopping carts, which are highly customisable. Inventory management is simple with Squarespace too. You have command over whether or on what terms you offer discounts or delivery options for your items.

Squarespace also provides several methods for selling tangible and digital goods, as well as membership services. Payment platforms like Stripe and Paypal integrate seamlessly. You can link your website to other platforms like Mailchimp for email lists and Xero for accounting. Hundreds of other CRM software applications and email clients are connected through Zapier.

Squarespace vs Wordpress

If you're looking for a powerful and versatile CMS, then you could consider Wordpress (and we build lots of WordPress sites every day). WordPress blogging tools evolved into one of the most popular platforms on the web offering a ton of features and options. A WordPress site can be overwhelming(with countless WordPress plugins to manage etc.) as opposed to a beautifully simple Squarespace site.

However, WordPress can be a bit complicated to set up and manage, especially for beginners - you have to deal with separate web hosting services, (it can be a nightmare to source the best web hosting plan), complicated third-party plugins, some badly coded WordPress themes, and a somewhat clunky website builder.

As for online stores, clients come to us all the time looking for a Squarespace online store as they are fed up with difficult-to-manage eCommerce sites built on WordPress with the likes of the WooCommerce plugin. Drag and Drop is not as easy in WordPress as opposed to on Squarespace Templates.

Squarespace is a popular content management system and is a great alternative to WordPress for those shopping for content management systems or an e-commerce solution. With Squarespace, you can have a reliable and robust online shop built in a fraction of the time it takes to do the same on WordPress.

With Squarespace, we can customise your template pre-designed by Squarespace professionals to look great on any device. Plus, all of Squarespace's templates are responsive so they'll look great no matter how your visitors are viewing or what device they may be using.

Testimonial

I was having a terrible time trying to build my business website and had a lot of difficulties sourcing the best Content Management System. All of the other CMS platforms were just too complicated or didn't have the features I needed (like simple drag and drop). Then I discovered Squarespace through Bad Dog. It was so easy to use and had everything I needed, from an easy-to-use website builder to unlimited bandwidth on their self-hosted platform. Best of all, with no technical knowledge, it helped me grow my business - it is by far the best enterprise CMS.
