RigidhamLabs vs Squarespace
A Professional Website — Without the DIY Headaches
Squarespace is great for DIY.
RigidhamLabs is for business owners who want it done right.
Both options can get you online.
Only one removes the burden of design, setup, and long-term frustration.
Side-by-Side Comparison
The Hidden Problem With DIY Website Builders
Squarespace gives you tools — not taste.
That’s not an insult. It’s reality.
Most people underestimate what actually makes a website look professional:
• Typography hierarchy
• Spacing and visual rhythm
• Image cropping and consistency
• Color contrast and accessibility
• Mobile layout behavior
• Clear CTA placement
Templates don’t solve those problems.
Design does.
What Usually Happens
Most business owners:
1. Pick a nice template
2. Replace the text and photos
3. Adjust spacing “a little”
4. Fight the editor
5. Settle
It works — but it never quite feels right.
The Line That Matters
Squarespace is easy to use.
Making it look great is not.
That gap is where RigidhamLabs exists.
Same Content.Different Outcome.
Same business. Same information.
You don’t get a template.
You get a finished product.
Add Only What You Need — Skip the Rest
Squarespace bundles features into a monthly platform.
RigidhamLabs works differently.
We start with a fast, clean website — then add features only if they actually help your business.

A Fair Note
Squarespace is a solid option if you want to build and maintain your website yourself.
RigidhamLabs is for business owners who:
• Want it done fast
• Want it to look right
• Want performance and clarity
• Don’t want to become a web designer
Both are valid.
Only one removes the work from your plate.
Don’t Spend Your Time Fighting a Website Builder
We’ll recommend features only if they actually help your business.
