Squarespace

Website and online store builder offering all-in-one hosting, templates, and commerce with an emphasis on clean design and simplicity. Supports marketing sites, blogs, and e‑commerce without managing servers, SSL, or separate tooling.

Squarespace serves millions of entrepreneurs across 200+ countries and has powered over $36B in merchant earnings. Notable for design-led templates and the Developer Platform, which distinguishes it from drag-and-drop builders by giving technical teams full code access. Developer Mode exposes all template files for markup, styles, and scripts, while the local development server and built-in Git support version control and team workflows. Blueprint AI assists with site creation and was named one of TIME's Best Inventions of 2025.

Key capabilities:

• Template-based or fully custom sites with Developer Mode for complete control over markup, styles, and scripts
• Commerce APIs for inventory, orders, products, and customer profiles, plus webhooks for order and extension events
• Local development server with toolbelt utilities and built-in Git for version control and collaboration
• JSON data store and JSON-Template language for querying pages as structured data and implementing designs
• Built-in CDN and shared infrastructure with the main platform for scalability

Creators and small businesses use Squarespace for portfolios, blogs, and online stores without DevOps. Teams with design or developer backgrounds customize templates via Developer Mode, integrate with third-party tools through the Commerce APIs, and automate fulfillment and tax workflows with webhooks.
