Squarespace

Squarespace is a leading website building and hosting company founded in 2003 by Anthony Casalena in New York City, New York. Initially created as a blog hosting service, it has since expanded into a comprehensive platform that empowers users to create and manage professional-looking websites, online stores, and portfolios without the need for coding skills. With its user-friendly interface and a rich array of features—such as customizable designs, e-commerce capabilities, SEO tools, and analytics—Squarespace has positioned itself as a key player in the digital content creation industry. The company went public in May 2021 and was later taken private by the investment firm Permira in October 2024 to enhance its growth strategies and innovative capabilities.

The platform is home to various products and services that cater to different aspects of web presence, including website building and hosting, e-commerce solutions, domain registration, email marketing tools, and appointment scheduling through its subsidiary, Acuity Scheduling. With around 1,749 employees as of 2023, Squarespace continues to lead the market, helping millions of individuals and businesses transform their creative ideas into reality in the digital space.
