WordPress, Wix, and Squarespace offer three distinct paths to building a digital presence—WordPress for full control and scalability, Wix for intuitive drag-and-drop creation, and Squarespace for polished, design-first websites. Choosing the right one depends on your need for customization, ease of use, and long-term business growth.

Quick Sprout contributor Montana Thomas has published an article comparing WordPress, Wix and Squarespace.

She says, “Choosing between WordPress, Wix, and Squarespace in 2025 comes down to how much control you want, how fast you need to launch, and whether you care more about customization or convenience. All three can produce a professional site. The right pick depends on your goals.

Editor and ease of use

Wix offers the most beginner friendly editor and an AI assisted setup that can generate a starting layout and sections.

Squarespace focuses on clean structure and polished sections. You trade some freedom for consistency, which is why brand and portfolio sites tend to look great out of the gate.

WordPress has the Gutenberg block editor and thousands of block compatible themes. It is not as hand holding as Wix or Squarespace, but it scales. Start with a modern theme and a few well chosen plugins.”
