FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Why is Squarespace so much more expensive?
You're paying for their visual editor and design team. For some that premium is worth it. For others, $14/mo difference ($168/year) is not rational when you can get the same result with our drag-and-drop builder.
Can I export my Squarespace site?
Partially — only text and basic images via their XML export. Design, code and custom blocks are lost. With us, everything is always yours.
