FAQ
Q: Should I switch from Shopify? Is Squarespace a better platform?
A: It depends on what your business needs most.
Squarespace is a solid alternative if you want a streamlined, visually polished platform that’s easy to manage without third-party plugins. It comes with built-in tools for product pages, checkout, SEO, email marketing, and more – all in one place. It’s ideal for small-to-medium stores, personal brands, creatives, or service providers who value simplicity, design control, and lower maintenance. Read the full Squarespace review for more details.
Shopify, on the other hand, still leads when it comes to larger stores, complex shipping setups, or those who need access to an app-heavy ecosystem. But if you’re not relying on all that extra functionality, switching to Squarespace can reduce your overhead, simplify your tools, and give you more design flexibility.
Still undecided? Send me your store link and I’ll give you honest advice based on your specific case.
