WordPress vs Squarespace: Which One Is Better?
|
Hey website friend, Today I’m chatting about a question I get all the time — “Which website platform is best for my business?” To answer, I invited my friend Chantelle, a Squarespace expert, to compare notes on WordPress vs Squarespace. What started as our usual Voxer chats turned into a fun podcast conversation I’m excited to share with you! Here are my top takeaways from our platform comparison chat: 👉 1. WordPress Strengths WordPress truly shines with its unlimited customization potential! With the right page builder (I use Elementor), you can create literally anything you can imagine. The platform is incredibly flexible and can handle complex functionality that other platforms simply can’t match. 👉 2. Squarespace Advantages Squarespace offers a streamlined experience with many built-in features like scheduling, courses, and simple e-commerce. It’s particularly good for service-based businesses looking for simplicity. 👉 3. Mobile Responsiveness Is Key Both platforms now excel with mobile customization! WordPress lets you completely customize the mobile experience, rearranging elements for the perfect phone layout. Squarespace has also stepped up their game in recent years. 👉 4. Setting the Record Straight on SEO Both platforms can rank well in search engines when properly optimized. WordPress with Yoast SEO gives you powerful tools, while Squarespace has built-in SEO capabilities. The key is actually implementing proper SEO practices rather than which platform you choose! 👉 5. The Learning Curve While WordPress has a reputation for complexity, it’s really about how it’s built. When I create WordPress sites with Elementor, clients find updates surprisingly easy. For DIYers, Squarespace can be more intuitive initially. Curious to hear the rest?

Hey Website Bestie, Let's talk about your about page — that tricky little corner of your website where potential clients decide if you're their perfect match. I've been having great conversations lately with corporate clients who want to seem approachable without oversharing their life stories. They ask: "How personal is too personal for my professional brand?" It's a balancing act! Your about page is likely one of your most visited pages (yes, really!), but it doesn't have to be a choice...
Hey Website Bestie, Is your website silently losing you clients? I had a wake-up call recently when a client tried to book a website audit with me. First, my booking system glitched and tried to charge him double. When I attempted to fix it manually, I messed up the time zone conversion. Thankfully, this determined client stuck with me through all the technical failures! But it got me thinking… how many potential clients encounter tech issues on YOUR website and simply click away instead of...
Hey website bestie, Have you been putting off updating your website because it feels too overwhelming? I was chatting with my client Jen recently, and she confessed she'd delayed her website redesign for years.

Redesigning your website can feel like renovating your house while you're still living in it. Where do you even begin? But here's the truth —...
