Promotion/ Tracking Tools:   Excellent

As we mentioned above, Squarespace is one of the few blog services that comes with traffic stat tracking built-in. Most other services require you to install a third party plugin. Squarespace’s stat service tracks most of the salient data you might want to know. In fact, if you only want to create a personal blog, the stats will be far more than you need. But if you are creating a public or business blog, they will be quite useful.

Squarespace stats are monitored and displayed in real-time through simple graphs and charts. The service tracks visitors and pageviews, and it even differentiates between human and bot hits to your pages, a useful bit of data that other services don’t provide. You can also easily view where your posts rank on Google searches. Squarespace even keeps track of where people go once they reach your site, whether visitors see other pages on your blog or go to other sites altogether.

If you plan on having a blog with more than one author, the Squarespace system can track all changes that were made and who made them. This is a particularly useful way to manage content if you have more than one contributor.
 

Ease of Use:   Excellent

The creation process is extremely simple in Squarespace, and the interface for uploading blogs and pictures is simple enough. It’s fairly similar to other services. The most obvious feature that makes Squarespace more useful is the tracking tools mentioned above. It’s very easy to identify which stats you are looking for and the charts are easy to read.

Technical Help/Support:   Excellent

Squarespace has a surprisingly thorough resource for its users in case of problems or questions. Of course, a robust support system is only appropriate if you are using a paid service. The standard methods of customer support, email and FAQ, are there. But Squarespace also provides a very thorough set of documents and Webpages that explain how the product works and answers many basic questions. There are video tutorials to show how the site works and what features are available. And there is a user forum available to all Squarespace users where people can ask and answer common questions and technical issues.

Summary:  

Squarespace is an excellent option for those that want to create a unique blog with reliable hosting. Even though it costs more than the average blog service, the features and hosting options are well worth the price tag. Squarespace is the full blog service package.
