A Squarespace alternative from Finland
Squarespace is known for beautiful templates. Kotisivukamu designs your site individually, without templates.
Squarespace is a stylish international website builder, best known for its visually striking templates. It is popular with creative professionals around the world.
Being template-based is also a constraint. Your site looks like thousands of other sites using the same template, and fitting your content into the template mould is your job.
Kotisivukamu does not use ready-made templates at all. The Kamu AI designs and builds your site from scratch around your brand and needs. The result is individual, extremely fast and search-engine friendly. And as a Finnish company, we offer local support.

Individual design without doing design work
Squarespace gives you a beautiful starting point, but the result depends on your own layout skills. With Kotisivukamu, Kamu does the design work for you: it chooses typography, colours and structure to match your business, and writes the copy too. You give feedback and Kamu polishes until you are happy.
Local service, simple pricing
Kotisivukamu is a Finnish service. The sites, the support and the invoicing all work in Finnish and in euros, and the content is written in natural Finnish. Trying it is free and you pay only once you are happy. Lite is €3.90/mo and Pro €9.99/mo billed annually, and both include everything.
Analytics and AI visibility are part of it
Visitor analytics are included and running from the first day. They are cookieless: we set no tracking cookies and use no third-party trackers, so the site needs no consent banner and visitors have nothing to click away. You still see how many people came, where from and which pages hold their attention, in real time. In most other services analytics are bolted on with something like Google Analytics, and a cookie banner and consent management come with it.
The same goes for being found. The sites are static and semantic, and structured data (JSON-LD) is written in from the start, so Google and AI answers such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI overviews can make sense of the site without any plugins. This is what GEO, generative engine optimisation, amounts to, and it is largely the same work as good SEO: a fast page, a clear structure and machine-readable facts about the business. The dashboard shows whether the site is listed, and we help with the Google Business Profile too.
Which one suits you?
Squarespace suits you if the look matters most and you want to choose it yourself. The templates are beautiful, and if you find the right one and have the patience to fit your content into it, the result is elegant.
Kotisivukamu suits you if you want a site made for your business rather than picked from a catalogue, and if being served in Finnish and in euros is worth something to you. Trying it is free, whereas with Squarespace you always start on a paid plan.
Common questions
Can I move my Squarespace site to Kotisivukamu?
Yes. Let Kamu read your current site and the content moves across to the new one. You see the proposal before deciding anything, and the domain is pointed at the new site.
Does the site need a cookie banner?
No. Kotisivukamu sites use no tracking cookies and no third-party trackers, so there is nothing to consent to and no banner to show. Visitor analytics are still included: traffic, sources and top pages in real time.
Will the site be found on Google and in AI search?
The sites are static and semantic, and structured data is written in from the start, so both search engines and AI answers can read the site as it is. The dashboard shows whether the site is indexed, and we help with the Google Business Profile too.
