FAQs
Is Squarespace free?
No, but you can take advantage of a 14-day Squarespace free trial to make sure it's the right website builder for you before you pay for a subscription. Your site won't be public whilst you're on a free trial, but you'll have access to the majority of the site's features. As you can have separate plans for different sites, you can arrange a free trial for every new site you set up too. If you're happy to continue, you can keep all the progress you've made if you roll over to a paid plan at the end of the trial.

Hints and tips
Pick an annual subscription: No matter the plan, Squarespace pricing gets cheaper when you commit to a year upfront. For example, the most popular package, Business, costs $33 per month but drops to $23 per month when you pay annually. If you can foot the upfront cost, it's well worth doing so to save a few dollars a month in the long run.
Take Advantage of Squarespace deals: You'll often see deals for new Squarespace customers which offer lower monthly prices, months of membership free, or add-ons with specific plans. As well as introductory deals, Squarespace periodically runs promotions to help you save on your membership. We've previously seen Squarespace promo codes for as much as 20% off monthly membership which have landed on our best cheap website builder deals list.
Select the right Squarespace plan: Take a good look at the different Squarespace plans to make sure you pick the right one for you. If you just want a place to showcase your artwork or creative writing then you don't need the commerce features that come with the more pricey packages. Picking the right plan for your needs is the best way to save.
Refer a friend with the Squarespace affiliate program: If you're a fan of Squarespace and know people who would like to use it, sign up to the Squarespace affiliate program.

How we source coupon codes
The coupons you’ll find on Tom’s Guide have been sourced by our dedicated coupons team, who use the web, our relationships with retailers, & our affiliate networks to find the latest codes. The offers on each coupon page are updated every few days to ensure we feature the freshest ways to save, and our commercial team (based in London) also sources exclusive codes and sales info directly from some of the biggest retailers around.
How we test coupon codes
All the coupon codes we list on our pages have been tested by our deals & offers teams to check they work as intended before they’ve been uploaded. You’ll find a wide range of coupons on Tom’s Guide, including free shipping offers, student discounts, and savings on various kinds of products.
To ensure that all listed codes are available to use, we don’t include any one-time use or user-specific coupons. We also provide as much information as we can to keep things as clear as possible - any expiry dates or terms & conditions will be listed alongside the code. Look for the ‘Terms & Conditions’ text - you’ll be able to click this to expand this section for more details.
What to do if a coupon code doesn’t work
We take care to only list tried & tested coupons on our pages, so all codes should be active and confer the listed discount or deal. However, although we keep up to date with expiry dates and any terms & conditions, sometimes retailers change these before we can update our pages.
Should a coupon fail to work as expected, check you meet any listed requirements. These can include minimum spends, multibuy offers, or product-specific promotions (i.e. 10% off selected tablets). You can view all associated requirements by clicking “View terms and conditions” below your code.
If this does not solve your issue, you can contact our customer service team by emailing coupons.tomsguide@futurenet.com. Make sure to let us know which coupon you were trying to use and which page this was listed on, and we’ll be in touch to help as soon as possible.
How we make money
Tom’s Guide makes money from coupons through a commission-based model. We have agreements in place with each retailer on our site - for every purchase made using one of our coupons or deals, we earn a small percentage of the order total back in commission.
Thanks to this model, we can save our customers money without charging them a thing. You won’t pay a penny to get the discounts listed on our pages, so whichever code or deal you choose, you’ll get exactly what it says on the tin.
