Getting started
- Start the 14-day free trial from the official page; the page says no credit card is required.
- Build a first version with a template or the AI site builder; edit the content and pages in the drag-and-drop editor.
- Before publishing, check the plan (Basic, Core, Advanced), the transaction fees and the domain terms on the pricing page.
Decision points
- If you will sell through an online store, compare the transaction fees on the pricing page across plans: the online store fee is listed as 2% on Basic and 0% on Core and Advanced; fees for digital content and memberships also differ by plan (subject to change).
- If you choose an annual plan, it comes with one year of free domain registration for a new domain; read the renewal and monthly plan terms on the pricing page.
Limits
- Squarespace was not verified in this entry as a permanent free plan; it starts with a 14-day trial, and the pricing page does not say clearly whether a trial site can be published, so check at the start of the trial.
- Amounts on the pricing page may look different by region and currency; this entry states no amount, so check the current price in your own country.
