This means clients pay a recurring fee to use Squarespace's services, which include hosting and additional features like custom domains and email marketing. Unlike many competitors, Squarespace focuses on an all-in-one solution that caters to a diverse clientele, including small business owners and artists. The company's goal is to empower users to establish their online presence easily while maintaining a supportive work environment for its employees.
