Build the website of your dreams with a bit of help from AI

Building or updating your website and branding is one of the most crucial tasks for any entrepreneur, whether you're running a small startup or a large business. The right platform can turn the process from overwhelming to exciting — especially in the early stages.

At their annual Refresh showcase, Squarespace unveiled a new suite of tools designed to simplify and enhance website creation. These tools can help you elevate your online presence and kickstart your business. Here are a few reasons why it’s worth giving them a try.

Use AI to build and unify your brand 

AI excels at helping you overcome that dreaded blank-page moment, and Squarespace Blueprint AI is the perfect example. It takes basic details about your brand and turns them into a fully customized website that you can easily update and modify.

Consistency is essential in brand building, which is why Squarespace’s new Design Intelligence approach uses your brand’s unique attributes to create a cohesive online presence in just a few steps. Plus, their AI writer can generate on-brand copy for everything from SEO descriptions to video content and client documents, all in your brand’s voice.

Market your brand like a pro

You’ll want to get that fresh website out there fast. 

Squarespace simplifies the process with two powerful tools. First, the Marketing Automation Builder lets you create and trigger emails based on audience actions and custom rules, ensuring your content and brand stay front and center at the right moments for more effective scaling.

The second tool, Bio Sites, brings all your content, store, and more into one link, making it easy to share your brand with followers. To ensure consistency with your website, you can now customize header layouts, link formats, colors, and fonts.

Make money your way

Creators can now easily monetize their content with Squarespace’s monetized blog and video paywall features. Consultants and coaches can use Acuity Scheduling to book client appointments and generate professional, branded invoices that are automatically sent at the right time — all within Squarespace.

Additionally, with ACH direct debit, mobile wallets, and Klarna, Squarespace Payments integrates seamlessly with these tools or your e-commerce payment portal. You can track payments and payouts directly from the Squarespace App on iOS or Android.
