Squarespace creates 'Designed to Sell'

Designed to Sell is a campaign that champions the power of design.

A survey commissioned by Squarespace in 2022 found that 62% of Brits are more likely to shop in person at a local business (e.g. a salon, shop, restaurant) that has a well-designed website. This is likely to be because a further 67% of Brits said they found websites that are well-designed to be more trustworthy.*

Ben Hughes, VP creative at Squarespace, says design ‘is by far the most important tool for creating an online identity’.

Ben goes on to say "To stand out, you need the ability to express your personality, idea or brand to its fullest. Squarespace strikes the perfect balance between giving you that freedom and also having enough guardrails in place so you end up with a professional-looking result."

Designed to Sell launches on 6 September across display, audio and video channels globally.
