Squarespace vs. Custom: An Honest Comparison for Bands

We're biased — we build custom sites for bands. But we'll be honest about when Squarespace is the right call, and when it's not.

When Squarespace wins

  • You need a site today (not in 48 hours)
  • You enjoy building websites (some people do)
  • You're a solo artist with simple needs
  • Budget is literally $0 beyond hosting

When custom wins

  • Your band has a strong visual identity
  • You want to stand out from 10,000 identical Squarespace band sites
  • You hate fighting with website builders
  • You want to update from your phone without logging into a CMS
