Is Squarespace Good For Larger Businesses?

When most people think of Squarespace, they imagine sleek websites for startups, creatives, or small shops. But what if I told you Squarespace is one of the best platforms for large businesses too?

From organizational autonomy to backend simplicity, this post breaks down why Squarespace is an enterprise-level solution that often gets overlooked.

1. Total Team Autonomy Without Developer Dependence

One of the biggest pain points for large businesses is the bottleneck created by needing a developer for every small website change. Whether it’s updating text, adding a new team member, posting a blog, or adjusting a privacy policy; waiting on a developer slows everything down.

With Squarespace, anyone on your team can be trained (in less than an hour), and updates take less than 10 minutes. At by Crawford we provide recorded handover training, so new team members can quickly get up to speed, eliminating the need for third-party intervention.

Benefits of Squarespace autonomy:

No waiting for developer quotes
No delays for minor updates
Zero ongoing maintenance fees for small changes

2. Ease of Use for Teams of All Sizes

Many platforms claim to be user-friendly, but they fall short when it comes to actual organizational usage. Platforms like Webflow are excellent, if you're a developer. But when non-technical teams need to make edits, they often struggle.

One client recently said:

“We hate Webflow. None of us can use it.”

Even though Webflow performs well technically, it fails on usability for teams. Squarespace, on the other hand, offers:

A visual, block-based editor
Minimal risk of breaking anything
No plugins to update or troubleshoot
Easy navigation for teams with varying tech skills

3. Advanced Customization Is Possible on Squarespace

There’s a myth that Squarespace is too simple or limited in customization compared to platforms like Webflow, WordPress, or Wix. But the reality is this,with the right know-how, you can build almost anything on Squarespace.

From custom mega menus to bespoke layouts and animations, Squarespace allows for powerful customization through:

Code injection
Figma-to-Squarespace design pipelines
Custom assets and libraries

Most advanced websites on any platform require custom code, whether you're using Webflow, Wix, WordPress, or Squarespace.

4. Backend Simplicity = Enterprise Efficiency

Enterprise sites don’t just need to look good, they need to work for the entire organization. Squarespace offers a clean, intuitive backend interface that anyone on your team can understand and use without training wheels.

Compared to more complex CMS platforms like WordPress:

No risk of plugin conflicts
No need to manually manage security updates
No bloated dashboards

It’s a set-and-scale system that works beautifully at enterprise levels, as we’ve proven with over 500+ Squarespace projects, 30% of which were for large corporations.

5. Squarespace Does Scale, Even to Enterprise Level

Contrary to developer chatter on LinkedIn, Squarespace is scalable.

From $10/month starter sites to dedicated enterprise hosting, Squarespace can support businesses of all sizes.

6. SEO Myths Debunked: Squarespace Ranks Just Fine

Another persistent myth: “You can’t do SEO on Squarespace.”

Not true.

AI-powered SEO tools
Custom meta titles and descriptions
Clean, crawlable code

Why Developers Dismiss Squarespace…And Why You Shouldn’t

Many developers prefer platforms like WordPress or Webflow because:

They can charge recurring fees for maintenance
They’re more comfortable in a developer-only environment
They want full control (even when clients don’t need it)

But just because they can’t (or won’t) build effectively on Squarespace, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use it. With the right design partner, you can get custom code + a simple backend in one unified platform.

Is Squarespace Right for Your Large Business?

Let’s be real, if you're a Fortune 100 company with intense data security needs, you’ll probably go with a custom solution like Drupal. But if you’re a large, fast-moving business looking for:
