在设计自己的网站时，几乎有无数种选择。最常见和最推荐的两个是Wix 和 Squarespace(Wix and Squarespace)，但很难在它们之间做出选择。
两种网页设计工具都设计为用户友好型，但在每一种方式处理网站布局和设计(website layout and design)以及定价层级方面存在一些关键差异。本指南将分解每项服务必须提供的内容，并帮助您确定两者中的哪一个（如果有的话）是您的最佳选择。
在本Wix与Squarespace 指南(Squarespace guide)的最后，我们推荐了其他一些网站建设者，如果您觉得Wix或Squarespace都不能满足您的需求，您可以考虑使用它们。
价钱(Pricing)
如果您不熟悉构建网站，您不希望将大量资金投入到您不确定(t sure)是否适合您的事情上。在这种情况下，Wix占了上风。Wix提供免费的网页设计(web design)层，而Squarespace只有付费层。然而，两者的定价都有些不足。
Wix 和 Squarespace(Wix and Squarespace)都宣传每月价格，但实际价格是一次性预先支付的。广告的月价就是年价除以十二。Squarespace让客户意识到(customer aware)这一点（尽管字体较小），而Wix则没有。
每个服务有多个层级。为了便于查看，我们创建了以下图表。
| Tier Name | Combo/Personal | Unlimited/Business | Pro/Commerce | VIP/Commerce |
| Wix | $13 | $17 | $22 | $39 |
| Squarespace | $12 per month annually/$16 monthly | $18 per month annually/$26 monthly | $26 per month annually/$30 monthly | $40 per month annually/$46 monthly |
Wix为(Wix)商业和电子商务客户(business and ecommerce customers)提供了另外四个级别，分别为每月 23 美元、27 美元、49 美元和 500 美元，但在这些价位上，您最好聘请专业人士来设计网站，而不是每月支付费用订阅DIY 网络(DIY web)构建器。
Wix Vs Squarespace：更好的编辑器(Wix Vs Squarespace: The Better Editor)
Wix 和 Squarespace(Wix and Squarespace)之间的主要区别在于网站的构建和设计方式。
Wix为用户提供了更多设计网站的自由。他们的编辑器有数十种元素可供选择，但对于没有经验的设计师来说，选择的数量之多(sheer number)可能会让人不知所措。
这种数量的创意控制的好处是您可以将元素拖动到页面上的几乎任何位置，并按照您的意愿安排您的网站。缺点是元素不会自动更正自己。
例如，如果您创建一列不同元素但在它们上方移动某些东西，它们将自动向下移动以腾出空间。但是，如果您删除该元素，其他元素将不会移动以填充空间 - 您必须手动执行此操作。
(Squarespace)另一方面，Squarespace并没有为用户提供那么多的创作自由(creative freedom)。它的网络构建器更加严格。您选择一个模板作为起点并对该模板进行更改。
虽然它可能会让想要从头开始设计网站的人感到沮丧，但Squarespace非常适合想要一个好看的网站的人，他们基本上可以将自己的信息插入并开始运行。
主题和模板(Themes & Templates)
如果美学不是您的强项，那么主题列表（有时称为模板）可能是设计网站的巨大福音。只需(Just)选择一个并修改它以满足您的需求。
主题也是Wix 和 Squarespace(Wix and Squarespace)显着不同的一个领域。
Wix有 600 多个不同的主题可供选择，涵盖各种不同的类别，包括商业(Business)、餐厅和食品(Restaurants & Food)以及创意艺术。确定(Decide)您的网站将属于哪个类别并搜索这些主题；如果您没有找到您喜欢的内容，请仅搜索其他类别。几乎有太多可供选择。
Squarespace 没有那么多主题——有 60 到 100 种不同的选项可供选择。但是，每个主题都经过精心挑选和策划，以包含在web builder中。他们的主题具有现代、精致的感觉，并与 Squarespace 的编辑工具相得益彰。
更好的选择(The Better Option)
事实上，Wix 或 Squarespace(Wix or Squarespace)都不是真的更好。虽然Wix确实有免费选项（相对于 Squarespace 的 14 天试用版），但最强大的功能被锁定在高级订阅之后。决定实际上取决于您对网站的预期用途以及设计网站的舒适程度。
您(Are)是需要一个有吸引力的、引人入胜的网站但您几乎没有网页设计经验(design experience)的小企业主(business owner)吗？然后使用Squarespace。您使用其简单、直观的编辑器节省的时间将抵消您每月为使用该服务而支付的更高成本。
您(Are)是一位经验丰富的设计师，想要创建个人网站或作品集页面(portfolio page)吗？然后使用Wix。它的拖放式编辑器可以轻松布局网站，大量元素和主题为您提供实现愿景所需的创作自由。
或者，如果这些服务都不能满足您的需求，请考虑以下其他选项：
Wix Vs Squarespace: Which is the Better Web Design Tool?
When it comes to designing your own wеbsite, there are an almost overwhelming nυmber of options. Two of the most common and most recommended are Wix and Squarespаce, but it can be hard to choose between them.
Both web design tools are designed to be user-friendly, but there are a few key differences in how each one approaches website layout and design, as well as in their pricing tiers. This guide will break down what each service has to offer and help you decide which of the two—if either—is the best option for you.
At the end of this Wix vs Squarespace guide, we have recommended a few other website builders that you might consider if you feel like neither Wix or Squarespace meets your needs.
Pricing
If you’re new to building websites, you don’t want to invest a lot of money into something you aren’t sure will work for you. In this case, Wix has the upper hand. Wix offers a free tier of web design, while Squarespace only has paid tiers. Both fall a bit short on pricing, however.
Both Wix and Squarespace advertise a monthly price, but the actual price is paid upfront all at once. The advertised monthly price is just the annual price divided by twelve. Squarespace makes the customer aware of this (albeit in smaller font), while Wix does not.
There are multiple tiers for each service. To make it easier to see, we’ve created the following chart.
| Tier Name | Combo/Personal | Unlimited/Business | Pro/Commerce | VIP/Commerce |
| Wix | $13 | $17 | $22 | $39 |
| Squarespace | $12 per month annually/$16 monthly | $18 per month annually/$26 monthly | $26 per month annually/$30 monthly | $40 per month annually/$46 monthly |
Wix offers four more tiers not shown here for business and ecommerce customers that are $23, $27, $49, and $500 per month, respectively—but at those price points, you are better off hiring a professional to design a site rather than paying a monthly subscription to a DIY web builder.
Wix Vs Squarespace: The Better Editor
The primary difference between Wix and Squarespace is in how websites are built and designed.
Wix provides users with far more freedom in how they design their sites. Their editor has dozens of elements to choose from, but the sheer number of options can be overwhelming to an inexperienced designer.
The benefit to this amount of creative control is that you can drag an element pretty much anywhere on the page and arrange your site how you want. The downside is that elements do not auto-correct themselves.
For example, if you create a column of different elements but move something above them, they will automatically move down to make room. However, if you delete that element, the others won’t move to fill in the space—you’ll have to do that manually.
Squarespace, on the other hand, does not provide users with as much creative freedom. Its web builder is more rigid. You choose a template to start from and make changes to that template.
While it may frustrate someone that wants to design a website from scratch, Squarespace is ideal for someone that wants a good-looking website that they can essentially plug their own information into and hit the ground running.
Themes & Templates
If aesthetics are not your strong suit, a list of themes (sometimes called templates) can be a huge boon for designing a website. Just pick one and modify it to fit your needs.
Themes are also one area where Wix and Squarespace differ dramatically.
Wix has more than 600 different themes to choose from in a variety of different categories, including Business, Restaurants & Food, and Creative Arts. Decide which category your site will fall into and search through those themes; only search the other categories if you find nothing to your liking. There are almost too many to choose from.
Squarespace does not have nearly as many themes—there are somewhere between 60 and 100 different options to choose from. However, each theme is carefully chosen and curated for inclusion in the web builder. Their themes have a modern, sophisticated feel and go hand-in-hand with Squarespace’s editing tools.
The Better Option
In truth, neither Wix or Squarespace is really better. While Wix does have a free option (versus Squarespace’s 14-day trial), the most powerful features are locked behind premium subscriptions. The decision really comes down to what your intended use for a website is and how comfortable you feel designing one.
Are you a small business owner that needs an attractive, inviting website but you have little to no web design experience? Then use Squarespace. The time you save with their simple, intuitive editor will balance out the higher costs you pay month-to-month to use the service.
Are you an experienced designer that wants to create a personal site or a portfolio page? Then go with Wix. Its drag-and-drop editor makes it easy to layout a website, and the vast number of elements and themes give you the creative freedom you need to bring your vision to fruition.
Alternatively, if neither of these services deliver quite what you’re looking for, consider these other options:
