Squarespace makes DIY site building easier.

Squarespace includes designer templates, a drag-and-drop editor, mobile-optimized sites, cloud hosting, SSL, SEO tools, metrics and customer support. It is a capable all-in-one platform.

We remove the DIY part.

Our service includes the website design and development itself. You do not start with a template and turn it into a site. We start with your business and deliver the finished site.

The $199 launch package includes first-year hosting and maintenance in addition to the website build. Squarespace currently says its annual website plans start at $19/month — $228/year.

At the current launch price, our first year is $28 less than Squarespace's published starting annual price and includes the build.

Squarespace is the stronger fit when you want an ongoing DIY visual editor and a broad all-in-one platform. Our service is built for businesses that want the site handled for them.
