Comparison

FlowSites vs Squarespace

Squarespace is a beautiful platform with a real design ceiling. FlowSites breaks past that ceiling with custom design, faster pages and better SEO — at a similar yearly cost.

Built for small businesses

Not a generic platform. We build for UK SMEs that want a website that wins enquiries, not a hobby project.

Done for you

You don't drag and drop, learn a new tool, or troubleshoot plugin updates. We build it; you focus on running your business.

One predictable price

Fixed-price builds, fixed-price care plans. No surprise renewal hikes.
