Be your own Customer
Squarespace is built using Squarespace. Our entire business relies on the same platform and tools our customers pay us for. (BTW this blog is also built on SQSP)
Good Work Takes Time
We respect the creative process and pursue long term ideas without fear. We only release our products when we feel they meet our standards.
Empower Individuals
Squarespace believes in the power of the individual to create great things. This is what our product enables and our marketing celebrates.
Design is not a luxury
Good design means coalescing hundreds of details into a package that is simple and beautiful. From the tools we create, to the experience our customers have, Squarespace strives for excellence in design and iterates relentlessly in order to achieve that ideal.
