Your website shouldn't be a compromise
Why "good enough" is costing you business
Look, we get it. Squarespace is easy. It's like the TV dinner of websites ‐ quick, convenient, and profoundly sad when you burn the roof of your mouth off.
But here's the cold, hard truth: Your "good enough" website is probably costing you clients, credibility, and maybe even your will to live.
Still not convinced? Here are five undeniable signs it's time to break up with Squarespace and upgrade to something that doesn't scream "I Googled 'how to make a website' at 2 AM."
1. Your Site Loads Slower Than Your Uncle Explaining NFTs
The Problem: Squarespace sites are notoriously slow. Bloated code, unoptimized images, and server issues mean visitors bounce faster than Brian on a friday afternoon.
The Fix: A custom-built site with optimized hosting (yes, we handle that too) loads in under 2 seconds ‐ because nobody has patience for your "artistic" loading animation.
2. You've Tried to "Customize" It and Now It Looks Like your 2005 MySpace page
The Problem: Squarespace promises "total design freedom," but let's be real ‐ you're still stuck picking from the same 12 templates as every yoga instructor and podcast host.
The Fix: A real designer builds a site that actually matches your brand (not just whatever font pairings Squarespace's algorithm barfed up).
3. Your SEO Is Nonexistent (Just Like Brian's Follow-Up Emails)
The Problem: Squarespace's SEO tools are about as effective as that hang in there kitty motivational poster. You're stuck on page 47 of Google, right between a grandma's site about needlepoint and a some felons mugshot.
The Fix: Custom sites with clean code, fast load times, and actual SEO strategy (yes, we do that) rank higher. Crazy concept, right?
4. You've Hit the "Oh man... This Feature Doesn't Exist" Wall
The Problem: Need a custom booking system? Membership portal? Literally anything beyond a basic blog? LOL. Squarespace's answer: "Here's a workaround involving 14 third-party apps and a prayer."
The Fix: A custom site does exactly what you need ‐ no duct tape and bubble gum needed.
5. You're Embarrassed to Share Your Site Link
The Problem: Deep down, you know your site looks like every other generic template out there. You cringe a little when clients ask for your URL.
The Fix: A professionally designed site makes you proud to hit send ‐ not ashamed to admit you built it yourself after three margaritas.
"I used to waste hours fighting with Wix. Now I just... have a website that works. Magic. Jeez, those guys at Better Than Brian are good." ‐ Brian Wilson
The Bottom Line
Squarespace is great... if you're okay with "meh." But if you want a site that:
- ✅ Converts visitors into customers
- ✅ Doesn't look like a template
- ✅ Actually works the way you need
...then it's time to upgrade.
