Can You Use Squarespace in the UK?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 5:56 am

If you’re based in the United Kingdom, you may be wondering if you can use Squarespace to build your website. The short answer is yes – Squarespace is a global platform that can be used by anyone, regardless of their location. However, there are a few things to keep in mind if you’re planning on using Squarespace in the UK.

One of the main things to consider is that Squarespace is a US-based company, so all pricing is listed in US dollars. This means that when you sign up for a Squarespace plan, you’ll be charged in US dollars even though you’re based in the UK. The current exchange rate will determine how much this costs you in GBP, so it’s worth checking the exchange rate before you sign up for a plan.

PRO TIP: If you are planning on using Squarespace to build a website in the UK, be aware that there are some significant limitations. First, Squarespace is not GDPR compliant, so you will need to take extra steps to protect your users’ data. Second, Squarespace does not support VAT, so you will need to find another solution for billing your customers. Finally, Squarespace’s customer support is very limited in the UK, so you may need to hire a third-party company to help you with your website.

Another thing to keep in mind is that Squarespace sites are hosted on US-based servers. This means that your site may load slightly slower for visitors from the UK than it would for visitors from the US. However, this shouldn’t have a major impact on your site’s performance.

Overall, there’s no reason why you can’t use Squarespace if you’re based in the UK. Just remember to keep the exchange rate and server location in mind when using the platform.
