What is Squarespace?
Squarespace is a hosted website builder. You pick a template or let the AI Website Builder generate a starting site, then edit pages with a visual drag-and-drop editor. The platform bundles hosting, domains, SSL and analytics, so no separate server setup is needed.
With it you can build a portfolio, blog, business site or online store, sell products and services, take bookings and invoices, collect donations, run email and SMS campaigns, and use SEO and domain tools. The text lists a free trial and a domain name option on the homepage; exact plan details are on the pricing page.
