What Can I Do With Squarespace? Features & Add-Ons For Small Businesses
If you’re wondering what can I do with Squarespace, the answer is: a lot! Squarespace makes it easy to build and manage a professional website, whether you’re starting simple or want to add advanced features as your business grows.
This guide will help you explore Squarespace’s built-in tools, so you can decide what you really need before starting your website project.
Start Simple: A 1–3 Page Brochure Website
When you’re first getting online, a small brochure-style site—just one to three pages—is often enough to give your business a polished, professional presence.
A simple site might include:
Home: A clear overview of what you do and who you help.
About: A short story about your business, your values, or your background.
Contact: A form or email link so people can easily get in touch.
Optional sections like testimonials, FAQs, or services can be included on the same page for a streamlined look.
Squarespace makes it easy to start small and expand later as your business and confidence grow.
Built-In Squarespace Features (Included in Your Plan)
Squarespace includes a wide range of built-in features that you can turn on as needed — all included in your plan with no extra plugins required.
Here are the most useful features for small business owners:
1. Blog
Squarespace’s blog is simple to use and integrated into your site design. Share updates, tips, or behind-the-scenes insights to connect with your audience and improve SEO.
2. Members Area
Create private, password-protected areas for clients or community members. Share exclusive content, resources, or behind-the-scenes materials.
(Note: A Members Area may require a digital products subscription.)
3. Store
Sell products—physical, digital, or service-based—directly through your site. Manage inventory, track orders, set up shipping, and sell digital downloads.
(Note: A Store may require an upgraded Squarespace plan.)
4. Online Courses
Squarespace’s Courses feature lets you deliver structured learning directly on your site. Upload lessons, videos, and downloads, set pricing, and manage students.
(Note: An Online Course may require a digital products subscription.)
Squarespace’s Paid Add-Ons (Optional Upgrades)
As your business grows, you may want additional built-in tools. Squarespace offers a few optional upgrades that integrate seamlessly:
1. Acuity Scheduling
Allow clients to book appointments or sessions online, manage availability, automate reminders, and take payments — all in Squarespace.
(Note: Requires a separate subscription.)
2. Email Campaigns
Send branded newsletters directly from your website. Connect seamlessly with your site’s design and forms to stay in touch with your audience.
(Note: Requires a separate subscription.)
How This Fits Into Your Squarespace Website VIP Day
My Squarespace Website VIP Day is designed to give you a complete, beautifully functional website in just one day — focused on clarity, simplicity, and getting you online fast.
During your VIP Day, we typically cover:
A 1–3 page brochure-style website (home, about, contact, optional sections such as testimonials or services)
Basic integrations such as your contact form, email links, and simple automations
