The two biggest names in website building couldn't be more different. Squarespace is curated and design-y. Wix is occasionally chaotic but allows for a lot of freedom to customize. I typically recommend Squarespace over Wix— but you won't be unhappy with either choice. The key is to know the differences.
In this video I walk you through 6 crucial differences in editors, elements, pricing, themes blogging and ecommerce.
Squarespace lets you drag content blocks up and down the page— but there's an inherent and sensible structure you stay within. Wix on the other hand is a blank canvas. You can drag anything anywhere on the page.
Wix might seem cheaper but it's cheapest plans are actually pretty limited— I cover these limitations and explain why Squarespace might actually be a bit cheaper.
I also cover blogging and ecommerce— two features that Squarespace really does well. They have best in class among website builders.
Themes are a great showcase for the difference between Squarespace and Wix. Wix offers 288 themes of varying quality while Squarespace offers 60 curated, beautiful themes.
