Squarespace

The read

Squarespace still sets the bar for how good a site can look with no design input, and its AI work concentrates on getting a starting layout and the copy in place. Control is more limited than a canvas tool, which is precisely the trade that keeps the results looking clean.

Where it shines

• The strongest template library on any mainstream platform
• Guided setup gets copy and imagery in place without hand-wringing
• Commerce, scheduling and email are handled in one subscription

Worth knowing first

• Constrained layout system if you want something structurally unusual
• No free tier once the trial finishes
