• Easy to configure basic functionality 

  • For early-stage companies, it is a good option due to very little maintenance needed 

  • There is no way to host PHP scripts in Squarespace without an additional plugin 

  • Custom code options are limited:

    • CSS and Javascript can be implemented 

    • There are not element IDs or names if attempting to use HTML DOM 

    • Content CANNOT be created with code, only modified slightly 

  • Forms are limited 

    • Cannot restrict field input 

    • Form entries are disposed of after submission:

      • You cannot use form input in any custom code to display content based on user input 

      • Must connect form to email or google drive to store submissions 

    • Cannot use HTML DOM on form fields due to no element IDs 

  • Documentation is a bit misleading/incomplete – don’t assume Squarespace can perform certain functionality even if the documentation says it is able to 

    • A lot of times, you need to purchase an additional plugin
