The user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, making it an ideal platform for beginners and professionals alike, which is why we use it to craft professional, powerful websites for our clients.

Mobile Ready Websites

Nearly 60% of website traffic comes from mobile devices, so it's important to have a website that is optimized for smartphones. Squarespace automatically optimizes your website for mobile devices, ensuring that your site looks great and is easy to navigate on any device.

Website Security is Really Important

Worryingly, it’s primarily small to medium businesses that face the majority of cyberattacks. Fortunately, Squarespace takes security seriously, offering SSL encryption and two-factor authentication to protect your website and user data. Squarespace also provides regular software updates to ensure that your website is secure and up-to-date. Security comes down to many features, but simply staying up-to-date, changing passwords and being aware of the risk can really help. It pays to utilise a website design platform that takes security seriously.
