Squarespace lays off 19 per cent of its workforce

Jobs cut at Squarespace

300 employees

The website-building company is cutting about 300 of its 1,800 jobs to simplify how it operates, a spokesperson said Monday.

Laid-off employees will receive 16 weeks of base pay and health-care benefits into May 2027, the company said.

Background

AI tools that build a website from a simple prompt have upended the industry. Squarespace launched its own AI tool, Blueprint, in 2024, the year it went private in a US$7 billion deal.
