Think it’s easy to figure out? utu tapawha has 4 plans, each comes with a set of features that you may or may not require in your website.
Kei te hiahia koe ki te paetukutuku e tino maere ana, engari kaore e nui te mahi hangarau hei hanga me te whakahaere.
A website builder sounds like the right thing for you, and of them, Squarespace is looking pretty good.
But while Squarespace emphasizes itself as an all-in-one, easy solution, are things really that simple?
He pai rawa te tohu pono?
Don’t worry, friend. In this article, I’ll dive deep into it.
You’ll get to find out how simple the pricing is, where the hidden expenses may come from, and ultimately what Squarespace REALLY costs and what it means for you.
He pai te pai?
Kōhiko. Kia timata me te tirohanga o nga mahere utu ki a raatau ano:
Squarespace has four pricing plans, or tiers. They have names, but I’ll mostly refer to them in this article as their placement on the tier list (ie., “first tier”).
The best way to explain is to just show you how Squarespace presents them:
Kia maumahara ehara tenei i te raarangi katoa o nga ahuatanga — ko nga mea noa.
Na, ki te horoi noa i tetahi mea i mua i te haere ki runga i te toenga o te tuhinga:
Ko aua utu ka kii koe i te utu ia tau. Ko te utu "ia marama" he ahua pohehe i roto i taua tikanga. Mena ka utua e koe i te marama-ki-marama, ko nga utu enei:
Na kua mohio koe ki te hanganga utu matua, tirohia nga korero taapiri:
One of the biggest selling points for most kaihanga paetukutuku, including Squarespace, is that they provide most of what you need out of the box.
Engari tera te tikanga he maamaa hoki te utu e utu ana koe?
I roto i te whānui, Ae.
Technically speaking, this is all that Squarespace costs alone, bare minimum:
Engari e korero pono ana, tera atu ano etahi whakapaunga e whakapiki ake ana i to nama katoa.
These may come from third parties, and apply to site-builders in general, not just Squarespace specifically.
It varies greatly person-to-person, but the REAL cost of running your site on Squarespace may amount to something like this:
I’ll get more into these additional costs later, but the short version is that your Squarespace site may, at BEST, only cost your payment plan’s figures.
Engari ka nui ake pea, ka kawea mai he utu taapiri i muri i te tau tuatahi, ka nui atu nga moni hei utu mo etahi atu taputapu hei whakanui i to wheako.
Kia whai taatau tenei waahanga:
Kei te hiahia koe i nga waahanga ecommerce? Ko te tikanga, ko te kaha mo nga manuhiri ki te hoko i nga mea mai i to papaanga.
Ki te kore, pai te tiera tuuturu ki a koe.
Mena ka hiahia koe ki nga waahanga ecommerce, ko tetahi o nga haurima e toru e pai ana.
Engari mo te whiriwhiri i waenga i nga huringa tuatoru e toru, ko te rereketanga ka heke iho ki te maha o nga waahanga hokohoko e hiahia ana koe.
Hei tauira, i te mea tuarua i nga kaimera tuarua, he pai nga taonga o te tuatoru:
Hei tauira, he waahanga hoko-hoko ka taea e koe te hoko hoko ake; kaute mo nga kaihoko; te tātari pai me te tauhokohoko; me te tauteatanga ki runga i tou ake rohe.
He pai te tuatoru tuatoru mo te hunga kaore e hiahia ana ki te haere i nga waahanga katoa i roto i o raatau ahuatanga rorohiko, engari e hiahia ana koe ki te tiki atu i nga waahanga iti o te waahanga e-haehae ana i runga ake nei.
Mena kei te hiahia koe kia nui ake i nga mea e tukuna ana e te reimana tuatoru, engari kaore koe e hiahia ki te whakapai ake ki te tuawha (me te whakamutunga), kaua e manukanuka!
Ka taea e koe te taapiri i nga taapiri i te mea e hiahiatia ana ki to putea, ina koa i te tiimata Tauhokohoko.
Engari ki te hiahia koe ki te raarangi tino o nga ahuatanga, koinei te mea e puta mai ai te mahere utu whakamutunga, kaore koe e eke ki nga taumata o mua:
Ko nga mea penei i te kaare kaainga i mahue (me te tuku imeera i nga kaihokohoko kua whakarere i a raatau mahi tirotiro), ohauru, aha atu — he waahanga kaha enei.
Na, me hipoki nga hiahia e-e-anga, me huri ano:
Meake kaore koe e hiahia ki te whakahaere i te toa tuihono, engari kei te rapu tonu atu koe i nga mea e tukuna ana e te tiera tuatahi.
Mena koinei koe, ka miharo pea kei te pai ake nga take e whakapai ake ai koe.
Ahakoa ko te nuinga o nga taapiri taapiri i waenga o nga tiera e pa ana ki te tauhokohoko, he pai ake pea te whakahou ake ki te reanga tuarua mo enei e whai ake nei:
He pai noa enei mo te whai waahi ngaio me te pakari, ahakoa kaore koe e whakaaro ki te hoko i nga mea.
Na ko enei ahuatanga ko etahi atu take mo te tangata ki te whakahou i nga tiers, ASIDE mai i te tauhokohoko.
I briefly listed some of these in the section on how much Squarespace costs, but let’s talk about them in a little bit more detail.
I’ve said it before, but if you use G Suite through Squarespace (“professional email”), it costs extra.
I te poto: ki te mea kei te haere koe ki te mahere utu-urunga, me utu e koe te utu atu i te peka.
Mena kei runga koe i tetahi o nga mahere utu nui ake, ka whiwhi koe i te G Suite kore utu mo te tau, engari me utu i muri mai.
Na, ko te mea kotahi ka puta he ahua koreutu engari ehara i te mea.
I whakahuahia ano hoki e ahau to raatau waahanga hokohoko īmēra.
The email marketing feature is useful, especially if you like that Squarespace is an all-in-one solution.
Engari he tino KOREUTU. Kei a ia ano tana mahere utu:
Na ko aua utu ko nga mea e utua ana e koe mo te maakete imeera i hangaia (ia tau-he marama ano hoki).
However, you can still use a third party email marketing software integrated with Squarespace.
Me tirotiro e koe te rua o nga taapiri e wātea ana, engari ko te mea ke atu E waatea ana a Mailchimp hei whakauru taapiri.
I runga i taua tuhipoka, ka utua ano hoki e koe ki nga whakaurunga / toronga mena ka hiahia koe ki te whakamahi.
I te mea he taputapu enei mai i nga waahanga tuatoru, kei a raatau ake mahere kaupapa utu. Ko etahi kaare koreutu, he tauira freemium ranei (he waahanga iti noa te reiti engari ko te nuinga te utu).
He mea tino noa mo nga kaihanga paetukutuku me nga kaihanga toa ipurangi (penei Wix a Shopify) ki te whakauru me nga taupānga tuatoru rongonui.
ARA KORE, ko nga utu mo te papaanga ka taea te huri tere i te wa e taapiri ana i nga taapiri, no reira he mea nui kia mahara mai koe.
Ko te mea whakamutunga, ko te ingoa rohe:
If you pay for Squarespace with annual, up-front payments, then you get a free domain regardless of which tier you have.
BUT, it’s only free for the first year. After that first year, it will renew at the “regular rate”—this is about the rate you’d pay if you purchased it normally through Squarespace.
It’s also what you’ll pay if you register a domain on Squarespace while paying monthly.
Ka rereke te reiti i nga wa katoa. Engari ko te tikanga, ko te $ 20:
To be honest with you, this is more expensive than what most domain registrars charge.
But Squarespace is offering good domain name features, plus ease of use—so the calculation may be worth it for many of you anyway.
Anyway, those are the “hidden costs.” To be fair, Squarespace is forthcoming about them. But they are still frequently overlooked by people.
To compare Squarespace with competitors, let me quickly explain how these companies compete.
Ko te Mokowāwawhā he a paetukutuku kaihanga that features ecommerce features.
Ecommerce is a very important component of Squarespace, but it’s still an all-in-one solution for website management in GENERAL.
Wix He tino rite ki tenei. He kaihanga paetukutuku-a-taiao katoa e whakaatu ana i nga ahuatanga e-a-rorohiko, engari he otinga katoa-noa.
Na kei reira Shopify. Shopify he kaihanga motuhake mo nga toa tuihono. He tino otinga katoa-i roto i te kotahi, engari mo te e-rorohiko.
He rite tonu ta ratou aro ki te hoahoa, ngawari te whakamahinga, me te mea he tino waahanga-waho-a-pouaka.
WixHe penei te mahere utu utu:
Ko te rerekētanga matua i waenga i nga tiera o konei, ko nga taumata rokiroki, me nga taapiringa whakamaarama, me nga waahanga ranei.
Wix he huinga ano hoki o nga tiera mo nga waahi e-rawa:
I tenei tikanga, Wix has more complicated pricing than Squarespace.
Heoi, Wix’s pricing for its four regular tiers is super similar to Squarespace’s.
The difference is that Squarespace’s last 3 tiers include the features that Wix has in its special ecommerce tiers. And, Squarespace doesn’t limit storage at any tier.
So overall, Squarespace is more generous with pairing features to price than Wix.
taea e koe Tirohia tenei whakataurite tonu i tuhia e au mo ratou i konei ki te hiahia koe ki te ako ano.
Na, Shopify ngawari atu i roto i tona utu atu i Wix, and even Squarespace, because it’s more focused:
ki te Shopify, ko te taunoa he utu marama. Heoi, ka taea e koe te whakaheke i nga utu kua whakaatuhia i runga ake nei ma te utu i ia tau, i te utu ranei mo nga tau e rua (ko te utu 10% me te 20% te utu).
Even when you compare these to Squarespace’s month-to-month payments, Squarespace is significantly cheaper.
Squarespace STARTS at $16 a month ($12 a month if paid annually), which is just over half of where Shopify Ka timata.
And Squarespace’s HIGHEST tier doesn’t even come close to Shopify'tiihi MIDDLE.
Pai, Ka tika ahau Shopify:
Shopify is zeroing in on ecommerce features more than Squarespace. The basics are the same, but Shopify te whai i etahi atu taapiri:
Hei tauira, Shopify is stronger in shipping features and extensions, and offers abandoned cart recovery for its first tier, compared to Squarespace only offering that tool for its last tier.
To sum up: if you just need the big tools of ecommerce with your all-in-one site builder, Squarespace is cheaper than Shopify.
And if you want a store with great design, Squarespace may also be better.
Mena kei te anga koe ki te haere i te katoa-i runga i nga ahuatanga ecommerce, Heoi, Shopify he pai pea te haumi.
Atu i runga i hoki Shopify and Squarespace, tirohia tenei whakataurite ruku hohonu.
Na, tera ano tetahi o nga kaiwhakataetae kaore au i kii i runga ake nei, na te mea he kararehe nona ake: WordPress me WooCommerce.
Ko te tikanga, ko te WordPress tetahi punaha whakahaere ihirangi, CMS ranei. He rereke te rereke mai i Shopify or Wix, mo te nuinga ake te nuinga.
Ko te WooCommerce he mono ecommerce rongonui-nui mo te WordPress.
He nui atu te utu o te WordPress i te kaihanga paetukutuku i etahi ara, engari he iti ake te waahanga o te hoahoa hoahoa maamaa, a ko nga taputapu whakaritenga e whakawhirinaki atu ana ki nga kaupapa i whakamahia.
Anei te whakamaarama ngawari ki te taapiri i nga papanga WordPress:
Kei te kite koe he uaua te katoa? Ko te WordPress te nuinga o nga waahanga neke, ara me te waahanga arumoni kua whakatauhia.
So a WordPress site CAN be cheaper than Squarespace, if you go out of your way to prioritize your costs only. But WordPress sites frequently run into the hundreds or even thousands.
Na he rereke rawa te rahi o te utu, a he uaua ake te WordPress (ko te mea ke noa atu mo te waahanga koreutu).
Te whakautu pono i konei, ko te mea nui kaore he mea nui ki TOO.
Registering a domain through Squarespace is fine if you don’t want too much hassle. It’s also nice to not have to pay for the first year (assuming you’re paying yearly).
Engari, ko te utu whakahou ka piki ake pea ki runga $ 20.
Personally, I find it more flexible to use separate registrars: it’s easier to switch the platforms I use to manage my site by simply disconnecting or reconnecting my domains.
Additionally, it’s easier to ensure your domain renews at a lower cost when using a registrar.
Ahakoa ehara i te mea tino uaua ki te hono atu i tetahi rohe ki tetahi papaaho, he mahi taapiri pea e pai ana te nuinga ki te karo.
Tuatahi, ehara i te mea nui noa atu nga utu. He iti te mahere mo te manaaki i te paetukutuku i nga wa tuatahi, engari ka maha tonu te whakahou i nga utu kua piki ake i muri i te tau.
Many also have add-ons that renew at cost, like Squarespace. Plus, the low price you see is often only low if you commit to two or more years, so it’s pricey up-front and less flexible.
Secondly, ease of use costs money. If you scroll up again, you’ll find that Squarespace isn’t really pricier than its site builder rivals.
Thirdly: Squarespace’s ease of use overlaps with its focus on design. Web hosting focuses less on the design aspect of building a site and more the technical side.
Fourthly, Squarespace doesn’t limit your resources the way traditional web hosting does.
Squarespace has a 14-day free trial.
Ko te tikanga, ko te INSTEAD o te utu mo te mahere i muri mai ka tono koe i te moni whakahoki i roto i tetahi waa, ka mahi noa koe ki tetahi kaute koreutu me te whakamahi i te ratonga.
Kaore koe e tono kia rehita i to korero utu, kia mutu ra ano to whakamatautau kore utu ka whakatau koe ki te utu pai mo te ratonga.
Tatou rikarika i tenei, e taau.
Overall, Squarespace pricing is pretty good. There are a few negative points about it, however, mainly in the form of extra costs after the first year.
Ahakoa ka whakamahi noa koe i te mahere utu kaore he taapiri tuatoru, ka whakahou nga rohe me te G Suite i nga utu i muri i te kore utu mo te tau.
Additionally, accessing a larger range of ecommerce tools involves paying extra for Squarespace’s email marketing toolset and/or paying for third party extensions.
However, when we compare Squarespace to its whakataetae, we can see that it’s not so bad:
Squarespace is more generous with its storage and ecommerce tools than its primary competitors, while still retaining overall low prices.
Furthermore, paying for third party extensions on a site-builder is nothing unique to Squarespace: it’s equally common on Wix, Shopify, WordPress, me etahi atu.
So looking at things holistically, Squarespace is still offering a great deal for the price!
Engari kaore koe e hiahia ki te tango i taku kupu mo te kore e whakaae koe.
Just try out Squarespace yourself to find out—it’s free anyway!
