Which Squarespace Plan Is Right for You? Let’s Break It Down, No BS.

So, you’ve booked us to design your dream website on Squarespace—hell yes! But before we dive in, there’s one thing we need to address: your Squarespace subscription. Let’s cut to the chase—your business deserves a website that works for you, not a bunch of shiny fluff that doesn’t do anything. 

You’ve got options, and I’m here to help you pick the right plan that won’t just look pretty but actually make your life easier. While we handle the design magic, the Squarespace hosting fee is separate. Think of it like renting a plot of internet land—we build the house, but you pay the rent. Here’s a detailed overview of each current Squarespace package so you can choose the one that fits your needs and budget!

Still Stuck?

So, which plan is right for you? When in doubt, we always recommend going with a lower tier plan—it’s easy to upgrade later if you need more firepower.

Whether you’re a scrappy startup or a seasoned pro, there’s a Squarespace plan that fits your needs. But here’s the deal—don’t overthink it. Know what your business needs, make your choice, and let your website do the heavy lifting for you. And if you’re still stuck, you know I’ve got your back. No bullshit. Just results.
