    About Squarespace

    Squarespace is a website builder. You start from a template or the AI builder and edit with a drag-and-drop editor, changing layouts, fonts, colours and images.

    It also covers online stores with payments, inventory, shipping and invoicing, appointment scheduling through Acuity Scheduling, with calendar management and integrated payments, and email campaigns. You can search for, register and transfer a custom domain, and hosting and SSL security are included.

    You can start with a free trial, with no credit card required.

    Pricing: Squarespace is a paid subscription with Basic, Core, Plus and Advanced plans, billed monthly or annually, and a 14-day free trial with no credit card needed. There is no free plan after the trial. Selling online carries transaction fees that vary by plan, domain names are an extra cost, and Acuity Scheduling is a separate subscription.

    Why it suits tourism businesses

    Tourism businesses use a website as the front door: tours, rooms, menus, events and contact details. Squarespace lets you build and update it yourself, which helps when prices or opening hours change with the season.

    The store can sell gift vouchers and merchandise, and scheduling can take appointments such as consultations. Squarespace does not list tour or accommodation booking among its features, so check how you will take those bookings.
