1. EASE OF USE
● In general, Squarespace is easier to use at first for beginners, but it has some 
significant caps on its capabilities. 
● WordPress seems slightly more difficult at first, but does not have anywhere 
near the same limits in place, and still has plenty of beginner-friendly theme and 
plugin options. 
● In the long run, WordPress is the better option for ease of use for any law firms 
that want anything beyond the most basic website available.

2. FEATURES
● Squarespace has plenty of features, including built-in apps and widgets. It has 
most of the tools any law firm needs to build a website, such as blogging 
functionality, ability to import and export content, connectivity with social media, 
and the ability to have multiple users with different levels of access.
● WordPress is also extremely flexible and has more plugins and widgets, as well 
as SEO packs and commenting systems. WordPress is much more scalable, 
which is more important for more complex websites or websites with higher 
demands for unique features.

3. DESIGN OPTIONS
● Squarespace has around 60 templates for websites and 9 for online stores, 
each of which automatically includes a mobile version.
● WordPress has many free and paid themes—estimated at more than 10,000 
right now.
● For design options, there is no comparison. WordPress has a much greater 
variety, and while the quality can vary, it is quite easy to find a sizable amount 
of high-quality themes for free or for a relatively low price.

4. SUPPORT
● Squarespace has plenty of support options, including live chat, email support, 
and support through its Community Forum.
● WordPress does not have an email or phone number for support, but there are 
countless video tutorials, forums and additional online resources dedicated to 
helping WordPress users with their websites.
● The open source nature of the site has built up a lot of communities that are 
centered on tinkering with WordPress functionality and features, meaning you 
have plenty of potential helpers to guide you through your digital innovation.

5. PORTABILITY
● If you are unhappy with either platform, it’s essential to be able to move your 
site to a different platform with relative ease and without losing data or traffic. 
● WordPress excels at this function, having built-in tools that allow you to export 
easily, and then import, your data into a different WordPress install or another 
platform.
● Squarespace is also limited here, only allowing you to export certain features 
into an XML file, which may not be compatible with your new platform.

6. COST
● Squarespace starts around $10/month for very limited features. You are 
required to use Squarespace as your host.
● WordPress is open source and free. You will need to purchase hosting and 
would be good to get a WordPress-managed hosting account.
● Ultimately, most law firms are better served by using WordPress, which offers 
more freedom, is more extensible and portable, has significantly more design 
options, and more features.
