When comparing website builders and e-commerce platforms Squarespace and BigCommerce always come up. I’ve done the testing and comparison so you can see which one wins in each category.
Squarespace is known for its beautiful high res themes and ease of customization so if design is your top priority. BigCommerce has big inventory and international sales support and a ton of payment gateways and no extra transaction fees.
Three decades ago, the average non-prominent artist would have a difficult time figuring out where, when and how to sell their work. There were significant barriers of entry, not least of which were the high fees. Securing space at an average art gallery was hard. That changed with the advent of the Internet.
Brick-and-mortar art shops and galleries remain an important forum for connecting artists and art sellers on one hand, and buyers and collectors on the other.
Shopify vs BlueHost: Which is best for ecommerce store owners?
If you want the quick answer, based on my experience, Shopify is the much better option. It’s a more robust solution, specifically designed for omnichannel selling. It excels in delivering comprehensive website building tools, features to boost ecommerce rates, and exceptional security.
However, BlueHost is still a decent competitor, offering not just a versatile web hosting service, but also straightforward design tools, ecommerce capabilities (via WooCommerce), advanced security, and no transaction fees on any plan.

What is Stan Store? At a glance, it might seem like just another link-in-bio tool; that’s what I thought before I started experimenting with the platform myself. However, Stan Store is a little more comprehensive than most of the monetization tools I’ve seen for content creators.
Primarily, it allows you to create a store page where you can sell digital products to your social media profiles. However, you can also use Stan Store to create and sell unlimited courses, promote subscriptions, design email campaigns, and more.
I’ve experimented with a lot of Shopify apps over the years, from tools designed to enhance marketing campaigns, to solutions for content generation.
In this Kopy Shopify app review, I’m going to show you why Kopy is one of my favorite products for resellers and dropshippers.
Kopy is an AI-powered app that saves you time creating product pages for your store. Rather than having to manually input data, you can simply “copy” product information from any location, edit it to match your brand strategy, and even translate content for different customer groups.
The fact that I’m writing this comparison guide shows how far we’ve come in the ecommerce landscape. Not only do we have more advanced ecommerce platforms than ever before, offering access to omnichannel selling, AI, and powerful automation tools – we now have platforms designed explicitly for specific types of sellers.
Shopify is my number one ecommerce platform, offering an exceptional solution for omnichannel selling, a user-friendly experience, and an ever-evolving range of advanced features.
Art Storefronts, on the other hand, is a more niche solution, ideal for artists looking for end-to-end support and guidance as they grow their business.
Art Storefronts vs Squarespace: Which is better? After testing both of these creator-focused platforms myself, I’d say both solutions are excellent, but they excel in different areas.
Squarespace is probably the better option if you’re looking for an easy-to-use, flexible, and affordable platform, ideal for selling a handful of basic products online. It’s not the most powerful ecommerce solution, but it comes with great themes to make your brand stand out, innovative options for selling memberships and bookings, and a user-friendly interface.
