Overview
Squarespace is an American software company founded in 2003 that lets people build and run a professional website without writing code. Its all-in-one platform bundles designer templates, a drag-and-drop editor, hosting, domain registration, email campaigns, scheduling and an online store, so a small business or creator can launch and operate entirely inside one subscription. Headquartered in New York and taken private by the investment firm Permira in 2024, it serves millions of paying subscribers ranging from photographers and restaurants to consultancies and independent retailers.
