If you’re running your own business, chances are your work ute has more stickers than your website has visitors. Or maybe you don’t even have a website yet. We get it - between quoting jobs, smashing through renos and juggling invoices, who’s got time to sit down and build one?
The good news? You don’t need to be a tech wizard to get online. With Squarespace, you can build a professional website in a weekend — or better yet, ask your partner, mate, or that one admin legend in your life who gets stuff done. No coding, no dramas.
