Why is Squarespace Better Than WordPress for Small Businesses?
Lindy Nowak, Up in a Day’s founder, has 15 years of experience interacting and working with hundreds of small and large companies on their web platforms.
Over the years, she has discovered why using Squarespace instead of WordPress is essential for solo entrepreneurs and small businesses trying to establish their digital presence.
There are 4 BIG reasons why these businesses should go with Squarespace instead of WordPress... and it seems like nobody is doing it!
Lindy aims to help business owners get to the top of their game by taking off their shoulders the idea and need to create a super complicated website for their business. She has hosted webinars and workshops to help them have this Eureka moment and find out that their online presence shouldn't be like hiking the Everest! Businesses like Neuro Consulting Solutions, Marketable Mama, and The Standing Mountain have found on their new Squarespace site a relief to be able to easily make updates and leverage it as a POWERFUL weapon!
In fact, just yesterday, she received an unfortunate email from a former lead who is starting a dermatology and wellness clinic:
“Hi Lindy,
As I mentioned a few months ago, my friend encouraged me to go with WordPress for my site. The web designer I went with created a website that I don't know how to use and even worse, he basically disappeared on me. I am completely on my own and not able to reach him. I am having a hard time making changes and figuring out my contact button/email address, etc. Not working great. So, what are the steps I need to take to have your team redesign it for me? I was definitely in over my head when this site was being set up.”
There you have it. The 4 BIG reasons on why Squarespace....
Super Simple Setup
Imagine you're all set to kick off your amazing online business, but WordPress is throwing you into coding chaos. With Squarespace, you don't have to do that; literally drag, drop, and voila! Your site's live without needing a coding crash course. You can spend more time on building your business and not wrestling with website tech.

WordPress plugins causing your site to crash or compatibility issues? Squarespace is the superhero that integrates everything seamlessly! Hosting, templates, plugins—they all work together harmoniously, ensuring a headache-free experience and a seamlessly running website. It's like having a united team of website tools, just without any drama.

Managing a business while handling a complex website can be quite the challenge. That's where Squarespace steps in. With their polished designs, you can achieve a professional look without needing advanced tech skills. This means you'll be able to direct your efforts towards growing your business, leaving the website intricacies to Squarespace.

Their support is really fast and to the point, ensuring that your site runs seamlessly and your business stays worry-free. We don't need more stress in our lives! Right?
So... WordPress can be quite powerful, indeed, but it often presents unnecessary challenges for solo entrepreneurs. It has a steep learning curve, compatibility issues, and can be a drain on time.
