About Squarespace
Squarespace built its brand on taste. Templates look professionally art-directed, typography behaves, and the editor keeps you from ruining it. Blueprint AI takes a collaborative approach to generation, presenting design choices per section instead of dumping a finished site on you. Basic starts around $16 a month, and the Core, Plus, and Advanced tiers scale up commerce features from there. It suits photographers, restaurants, studios, and anyone whose site is a first impression. Now the trade-offs. Less layout freedom than Framer, fewer apps than Wix, transaction fees on lower commerce tiers, and no site export beyond content.
Can you take your site with you?
Squarespace exports layout pages, one blog with its posts, and text and image blocks as a WordPress XML file; store, portfolio and other page types, style settings and custom CSS stay behind. Read from Squarespace’s own help pages on September 2026. See the export and lock-in table for all 21 builders.

“The design pick. Best-looking templates in the business, a calm editor, and Blueprint AI that collaborates instead of deciding for you. Less flexible than Wix and pricier than the budget crowd, but nothing makes a portfolio or small business look expensive faster.”Editorial team, via WebsiteShortlist
