vs Squarespace
Squarespace looks nice. It still looks like everyone else.
Squarespace gives you pretty templates. Many sites start from the same few. You pay every month, and the design stays with Squarespace if you leave.

The short version
Squarespace is like a nice suit off the rack. It fits most people. It was not made for you.
Squarespace is a good choice for a simple site. It gets harder when your business needs more, like online booking that fits how you work, or a page where clients sign in. A site we build is made for your business, and the code is yours.
The fair list
What staying on Squarespace means for you

Templates look alike
Many Squarespace sites start from the same templates. Visitors may have seen your layout before.

Hard to take with you
You can export some of your words and posts. Your design and layout stay behind.
cost
You pay every month
Squarespace is a monthly plan. Bigger features need bigger plans.
The Launch
What you get with us instead
On one live 2-hour call, we set up the tools you want: online booking, payments into your own account, a client portal, and one contact list. We test each one with you.
We teach you to change your site yourself. You type what you want in plain English, and the site changes.
You own the code. Your site runs in your own account with a web host. The host bills you about $20 US a month. We charge $0 a month.
Pay once for the build. Card fees go to your own payment company, not to us.
FAQ
Questions people ask
Is Squarespace bad?
No. It is fine for a simple site. If you want booking, payments and a client sign-in that fit your business, and code you own, that is what we set up.
What does “change it yourself in plain English” mean?
It is called vibe coding. You type what you want, like “add a page about our new service.” An AI tool makes the change. You look at it and keep it or ask again. We show you how on your Launch call.
