Same goal, very different amount of work for you.

Both get you a website. The real difference is who does the work, how long it takes, and what it costs you over a year. Squarespace hands you the tools and the to-do list. We hand you a finished site, written for your business, in 72 hours, that you can then edit yourself with a click.

Questions · 72 Hour Websites vs Squarespace

Common questions

Is 72 Hour Websites really faster than Squarespace?

Yes. With Squarespace you build the site yourself, which takes hours to weeks. We hand you a finished, written-for-you site in 72 hours, often the same day.

Is it cheaper than Squarespace?

It starts at a one-time $95, with no forced monthly fee to keep a basic site online. Most Squarespace plans bill every month for as long as you stay. Our optional Care Plan is there only if you want us to manage and refresh the site for you.

Can I edit the site myself afterwards?

Yes. You get a private link, click any text or photo on your live site, change it, and publish. The design is guarded so nothing can break.

Do I own the website and domain?

You own your content and your domain, always. If you ever leave, you keep a full copy of your site.
