Squarespace is genuinely beautiful. The design quality is world-class. But at ₹2,000–₹2,500/month, you're paying ₹24,000–₹30,000 a year — for something you can never download, never export, and never fully own.
Forge produces website quality that matches or exceeds Squarespace for most Indian small businesses — in 5 minutes, for ₹0, with a downloadable HTML file you own completely.
Squarespace makes sense for creative professionals, premium portfolios and international brands with budget. For an Indian SMB, the cost-benefit analysis is overwhelmingly in Forge's favour.
