If you're new to WordPress or want to use a one-stop website builder for digital products together with your blog, check out Squarespace. Because Squarespace is an all-in-one website builder. 

What do I mean by the all in one page-builder?

All in one page-builders offer the capability and flexibility of building a website without much hassle. The reason why Squarespace is called an all in one page-builder is that is both versatile and flexible.

 Again is also easy to use and beginner-friendly, unlike elementor, which requires you first to buy a domain and hosting, then install WordPress on it, and then order plugins. 

  

Squarespace is an all-in-one platform as I Previously stated and gives you all the tools you need to create and manage your website. Launched over 10 years ago--2003 in Baltimore Maryland United States of America, to be precise. Anthony Casalena founded it from his dorm as a solopreneur. Today Squarespace is one of the hottest heavyweights in the website building scene and is valued at over 10 billion dollars.

   Why Squarespace is one of the most used website builders

Although the number of Squarespace users has not been made public, it is one of the most used website builders (mainly in the US, Canada, UK and Australia), with around 1,000 new users signing up daily. Squarespace includes everything you need to get your website online (including a domain name).

Squarespace will take care of every aspect of your website(for example it has eCommerce functionalities so you run your eCommerce business, it is also SEO-friend), you can choose a template, a domain name, and Squarespace will make sure everything runs smoothly. If you want easy installation and setup, we recommend using Squarespace.

   One of Squarespace's shortcomings

It's also easy to customize your template on Squarespace, so you can tailor your website to your branding and colour scheme. Unlike Elementor Pro, you can't mix and match different templates with Squarespace because each template applies to the entire website, not individual pages.

Elementor and Squarespace both offer a variety of themes and templates that can be customized easily.

   

Since Elementor is a drag and drop editor, your eCommerce website design can be done in the same way. Using Elementor (WordPress) makes it much easier to build and launch websites.

   

Of the two identical websites builders above, the Elementor version takes longer to develop a site using it. If you are looking into having more flexibility with your website we recommend that you try Elementor for WordPress.

   

Elementor is a plugin installed on your WordPress site that helps you set up your site visually without knowing the code. Elementor is a standalone website builder (similar to Squarespace or Wix in the sense that they all use drag and drop to build sites), another best platform that is almost similar to Squarespace is Showit. 

  

Elementor and its pricing

 

For $49/year, if you have one website, or $99/year if you have three sites, you can get Elementor Pro and access all of Elementor's features. If you plan to use Elementor Pro for more than one website, the Plus plan ($99/year) is the better choice. 

If you want to create a website with WordPress and have access to a wide range of themes and plugins, Elementor Pro is a great solution for you. Elementor is available in two versions; Free and Pro (which has 4 different pricing plans), allowing you to create your templates, headers and footers, and customize the default TwentyTwentyTwo WordPress theme to your liking.

   

If you want a drag-and-drop editor that looks like the Squarespace drag-and-drop editor, you can install plugins like Elementor. Editor: Both Squarespace and WordPress have a drag-and-drop editor, both Squarespace and Elementor editor displays your entire website so you can visually see your site as you build it.

   

While Squarespace has made sure to integrate everything you might need, WordPress forces you to use a library of plugins. WordPress.org is more flexible and extensible, although it almost always requires additional plugins to make your site fully functional. WordPress is much more flexible than Squarespace, which makes it harder to use.

   

Without a doubt, Squarespace is easier to use than WordPress and you don't need technical skills to build your website. What's great about WordPress and Squarespace is that neither requires coding to create your website, and it's easy enough to make it look professional. 

When it comes to business features, the first thing you'll notice is that while WordPress relies solely on plugins, Squarespace has chosen to integrate most of the necessary tools. However, WordPress takes even longer to get used to than Squarespace because you have complete control over your site.
