Takeaways

Any of these platforms can work for small businesses—your choice depends on your technical comfort level and business goals:

  • Squarespace: Best for small teams or owners who want a polished, low-maintenance website they can update themselves.
  • WordPress: Ideal if you're working with an agency or freelancer and need advanced SEO, flexible layouts, and plugin support.
  • Ycode: Best if you're building something beyond a website—like a dashboard, portal, or app with user login, dynamic content, and workflow logic.

Developer Availability & Platform Support Risk

Hiring developers for Squarespace and WordPress is relatively easy and cost-effective.

  • Squarespace: Many freelance designers and small agencies offer affordable services. Minor edits can often be handled by the business owner.
