Alternatives to Squarespace? 🤔

Question

Hi!

I'm helping a friend set up a new simple site.

She uses Squarespace which is both expensive and not the best, in my opinion.

So, I was thinking. What do you recommend as an alternative?

GitHub pages. free, open source. easy to build with Jekyll and AI editors like cursor. I use them.

Answer

Check out Carrd! It’s perfect for simple, one-page sites, super affordable, and easy to set up—like building a website on autopilot. If you want more features without the fluff, Webflow offers flexibility with a bit of a learning curve but gives you pixel-perfect control. Both are budget-friendly and pack a punch without the Squarespace price tag

Webflow is a great alternative to Squarespace. It's more flexible and powerful for building custom websites without coding. You can use their visual designer to create unique layouts. And their CMS and ecommerce features are solid too. A bit of a learning curve coming from Squarespace but worth it for the added customization in my experience.

Webflow is a great Squarespace alternative. Offers more flexibility and control over design without needing to code. Tons of templates too. I switched from Squarespace to Webflow for my site and haven't looked back.

Webflow is a great no-code alternative to Squarespace. Super flexible design options and built-in CMS and ecommerce. Hosting on Cloudflare so it's crazy fast. A bit more of a learning curve than Squarespace but way more powerful in the long run.
