4 Ways to Get a Squarespace Discount
When you're just getting started with your business, getting a discount on website hosting is a great way to save some money. We love Squarespace because it has very affordable pricing plans, but you should never need to pay the full amount, especially in your first year of hosting. Keep scrolling to learn how to save some cash while running your business!
Student and Educational Discount
By far the best discount is if you're in education - you can get a whopping 50% off your first year by verifying your status as a student or member of faculty. This discount is only available for the first plan you purchase, and can only be used on an annual plan.
Make sure to use your educational email when registering for your Squarespace account, and you'll also need to verify your education status through Student Beans.

Seasonal Events
If you're not a student, there are still other ways to get a discount from Squarespace. Squarespace runs seasonal events throughout the year and discounts usually range from 10% - 20%. Definitely check Squarespace's website in the run up to your website launch, to see if you can snag a discount from their site. These are often in the announcement bar at the top and will vary in both code and amount off.
If you're on Squarespace's email list, (which is likely if you've just created a trial site) you'll also receive notification of these discounts via email.
Work with a Squarespace Circle Member
You can work with a Squarespace Circle Member (like me!) and get 20% of your first year. Squarespace Circle Members get 20% off every website they create, so as long as the website was initially made by a Circle Member, you'll get that discount automatically applied at checkout.
If you’re looking to work with a Squarespace Circle Member, check their website footer and see if you can find their Circle badge. Bonus points if they’re a certified Squarespace Expert too!
This discount will only apply to the first year of Squarespace and must be applied to an annual plan, not a monthly plan.
Use the Standard Discount
Squarespace offers a standard promo code all year round which is available to anyone making their first purchase. To get your 10% off website hosting, make sure you enter the code GIMME10 at checkout. Remember, this will only apply to the first website on your account, so if you have already created and paid for a previous website, this won't work.
Squarespace is our favourite platform for building websites, and becomes even more affordable when you use one of our promo codes/discounts listed above. Don't forget, if you're not a student, the best discount you can get is by working with a Squarespace Circle Member (like us!) - so if you're worried about the investment, just know you'll be saving a bit of money on your hosting.
