How Squarespace Enterprise Can Save Your Company Time & Money
Navigating operations within a large organization can be time-consuming and require strategic planning. From idea development to sharing information across teams, executives need adaptable, user-friendly systems that make their day-to-day workflow as efficient as possible.
As a communicator, you may struggle to compete for staff developers’ time with other sectors operating in your large company. That can mean limited website development capabilities when it comes to managing internal communications.
The Squarespace Enterprise platform offers a one-stop solution to save you time and money by empowering you to handle your website development needs independently. By removing your reliance on technical staff or third-party developers, it lightens the burden of wrangling internal resources or vetting freelancers/agencies and managing their work agreements.
Team collaboration
The idea of taking on website development as an independent task may at first seem like a large responsibility. However, remember that while you may have eliminated your need for a developer, you do have other collaborators at your disposal. You’re likely taking on this project as a means to coordinate workflows or streamline communication among teams within your company. So it’s beneficial to bring in members of those teams as contributors as you build your site.
Your colleagues are already experts on the content you will likely be featuring on your website. Delegating tasks among them and enlisting their help as contributors allows you to maximize output while building team participation. This helps to ensure that your colleagues approve your site content, especially as you may have tight production turnarounds.
Assisted setup
A valid factor that may create hesitancy in launching your own website is a lack of experience — and for large organizations like yours, the demand for quality is high. As such, it’s always valuable to have some guidance when taking on a new project. While using Squarespace Enterprise, you have access to a dedicated account manager who is available to walk you through the setup process and train your team on the product.
With an account manager, you enjoy real-time guidance via phone or video conference, as well as custom consultations and first looks at new features or updates. While using Squarespace Enterprise, you're never alone in the process.
Customizable design
Another concern of yours may be keeping your organization's branding and design elements consistent across your site assets. It may be imperative that the overall look and feel of your product remains coherent with your brand's aesthetic. Your custom site will allow you to choose among coordinating color palettes and font options that you can match with your existing branding. This allows you to maintain the right appearance as you build.
Beyond its built-in options, a Squarespace Enterprise subscription offers professional design consultations that can maximize your unique brand aesthetic needs. Connecting personally with in-house design experts is a perk available to Enterprise customers, and it helps you make the most of the platform’s powerful design capabilities.
All of these features empower you to translate your vision into an attractive multimedia website that meets your brand requirements without coding knowledge. They also allow you to explore presentation strategies like galleries, image carousels and video and learn how to use them creatively.
SSO integration
A final item to consider — and probably one of the most important — is making sure your new site meets the security requirements of your organization. Your website may include ideas and proprietary information that should only be available to internal visitors. As such, you want to ensure that strong systems are in place that protect sensitive information. This is where the use of Single Sign-On (SSO) comes in.
The benefit of using SSO with Squarespace Enterprise is that it mitigates the risk of external exposure that could be harmful to your business. Since the platform integrates with leading SSO providers, you get to enjoy the ease of worry-free information sharing.
Summing up
As an internal communicator, you need innovative and effective ways to manage your business affairs. Given the potential time constraints and limited resources across your large organization, Squarespace Enterprise empowers you to take website development into your own hands.
