Squarespace is the builder to choose when looks come first. Its templates are the most refined here, typography and spacing are handled for you, and it is hard to make a Squarespace site look cheap. Commerce is part of every plan: you can sell physical products, services and digital goods, send free invoices, and run courses or memberships. Built-in AI tools help draft copy. The limits sit on the Basic plan, which allows two contributors and takes a 2% fee on online store sales and 7% on digital content and memberships. Core removes the store fee and allows unlimited contributors. There is no free plan, only a 14-day trial. The pricing page showed only zloty from our location, so the USD price is pending. Choose Squarespace if you want a beautiful site with little design effort.
