The real difference
It's not about templates.
Squarespace is known for stunning templates — but everyone using Squarespace has access to the same ones. Your site can easily end up looking like dozens of others in your category.
More importantly, you still have to build it yourself. Learning the platform, tweaking layouts, updating content, troubleshooting issues — it all takes time you could spend on running the business.
With codasite you get a custom design and we handle the rest. Same monthly cost, zero time investment, none of the "I've-seen-this-template-before" feeling.
