Squarespace vs WordPress, Wix and GoDaddy: why we only build with the best
Building a brilliant website in 2025? You’ve got options - and plenty of them. WordPress, Wix, GoDaddy... the list goes on. But just because something’s popular doesn’t mean it’s the right fit for your brand.
At olio creative, we’re proudly Squarespace Circle Platinum Partners - and we exclusively build with Squarespace for a reason. It’s the perfect blend of style, performance, and simplicity, giving businesses the best chance to stand out (without a tech headache in sight).
Here’s why Squarespace is still the smartest choice in 2025, and why working with a team who knows it inside out makes all the difference.
WordPress: Power with a side of pain
There’s no denying WordPress is powerful. It’s endlessly flexible and open-source - which sounds great... until you’re knee-deep in plugin updates, security patches, and broken layouts.
For businesses who want a stunning, reliable website without needing a full-time developer on speed dial, Squarespace is a far smarter choice. Everything you need is built in, meaning less time troubleshooting and more time growing your brand.
Wix: Easy start, tricky future
Wix has made a name for itself by being easy to set up. But easy doesn’t always mean best. As your business grows, Wix’s limitations quickly appear - from clunky design restrictions to weaker SEO capabilities.
Squarespace, on the other hand, is made to grow with you: professional templates, better SEO tools, and a platform that keeps pace as your ambitions (and audience) expand.
GoDaddy: Fine for now, not forever
GoDaddy’s website builder works for quick-and-easy sites, especially if you’re already buying a domain from them. But for businesses serious about their brand, GoDaddy simply doesn’t cut it.
Squarespace gives you design excellence, built-in security, and performance that doesn’t just keep up - it leads.
Why we build exclusively with Squarespace
We’ve tested them all (seriously.) And Squarespace wins every time because it lets us do what we do best: create websites that are strategic, stylish, and simple to manage.
All-in-one platform: hosting, security, design, SEO — sorted.
Design-led: beautiful templates you can customise without a computer science degree.
SEO-friendly: best-practice tools baked in, not bolted on.
Built for now — and next year: flexible enough to scale with your business.
