Squarespace is our niche
We have chosen to build all of our websites in Squarespace. This means that the entire team knows the platform well, allowing us to work efficiently and have more time for branding, content, design, and user experience.
With over 650 websites on Squarespace over nine years, we know the potential, know what works, and can challenge the standard solutions when needed. We are also the only agency in the country with Squarespace Enterprise status.
One platform, a team of experts and more time to create great websites .
Six benefits of Squarespace
Squarespace brings together what you need to build, operate, and further develop a professional website in one place.
1. Great design freedom
Squarespace gives us a good starting point, but doesn't lock us into ready-made templates. We can shape the design around the brand and build further with code and integrations when needed.

2. Easy to use yourself
Once the website is launched, you should be able to continue working with it. It's easy to change text and images, publish articles, and build new content without being a developer.
→
3. Safe and stable operation
Hosting, security, and technical maintenance are all part of the platform. You don't have to worry about keeping track of servers, software updates, and a long list of add-ons that need to be maintained.
→
4. Everything in one place
Website, online store, analytics, newsletters, booking, courses and member content can be part of the same ecosystem. And when we need other solutions, Squarespace can integrate with external systems.

5. Good starting point for visibility
Squarespace has good tools for SEO, analytics, and structured content, and is now also developing its own tools for measuring and working with visibility in AI searches.
6. An evolving platform
Squarespace is continuously being developed with new features in design, content, analytics, and AI. This means that your website can evolve as your business and technology evolve.
More than a website
Squarespace can be expanded with features and tools as your needs change. You can find many features in the same platform, and when needed, we can integrate Squarespace with other systems.

Gasta + Squarespace

Is Squarespace suitable for everyone?
Here you can be open about the fact that Squarespace is very good for brand and content-driven websites, businesses, organizations, multilingual sites, online stores, etc., but that an advanced special application may require other solutions.
This makes you appear as advisors who have chosen Squarespace for professional reasons, not as someone who claims that the tool solves absolutely everything.
