Tattoo Website Builders: Wix, Squarespace, and a $99 Template
Tattoo website builders side by side: Wix Light shows $17 on a yearly card, Squarespace US Basic is $19 a month billed annually, and a tattoo template is $99 one-time.
A tattoo website builder is a monthly bill or a file you keep. On November 8, 2026, this post opened Wix’s plan page and Squarespace’s pricing file. WordPress hosting, theme, and plugin prices were not opened. Our prices come from help and from the website pages in this repo. Where a marketing page and a help article disagree, help wins.
Wix, as the plan page showed it
Wix’s plan page has a Free card. It says no credit card is required. A later answer on that page describes a free address in the shape username.wixsite.com/sitename, and says a Premium plan can connect your own domain and remove Wix branding.
The paid cards that showed a dollar amount:
| Card | Amount on the card | What the card also listed |
|---|---|---|
| Light | $17 | Free domain for 1 year, 2 GB storage |
| Core | $29 | Free domain for 1 year, accept payments, scheduling and services |
| Business Elite | $159 | Free domain for 1 year, unlimited storage |
The Business card did not show a dollar amount in this read. This post does not fill one in.
Under the cards, the page says the displayed prices are USD for reference, for yearly subscriptions paid in full, and that prices do not include applicable taxes. The Light, Core, and Business Elite cards also say “Price includes GST.” Both lines are on the page. This post does not decide which tax line is the one you will be billed. It also does not turn $17 into a 12-month total while that conflict is open.
The Core card lists scheduling and services. The Light card’s visible list does not. That is the card text from this read, not a search of every collapsed row. This post did not open a Wix export screen, so it does not say what you keep if you cancel.
Squarespace, from the pricing file
The Squarespace pricing page did not load. The pricing file did. Its own stamp says October 5, 2026. US dollars on that file:
| Plan | Month to month | Annual, per month | Annual total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $25 a month | $19 a month | $228 a year |
| Core | $39 a month | $29 a month | $348 a year |
Plus is $65 a month month to month, or $49 a month on annual billing, $588 a year. Advanced is $139 a month month to month, or $99 a month on annual billing, $1,188 a year. The file says prices include VAT or GST where a region requires it. It does not print a separate US sales-tax line.
Basic’s description includes a custom domain free for one year on annual billing. This read did not open a Squarespace export screen or a booking add-on price. The longer Squarespace note is Squarespace for tattoo artists.
WordPress prices were not opened
WordPress is the other name in this search. This post did not open a host price, a theme price, or a plugin price on November 8, 2026. It does not quote a market share, a plugin count, or a first-year range.
The one-time template is $99 or $199
The Artist template is $99 one-time. The Studio template is $199 one-time. Help lists 7 pages: Home, About, Portfolio, Services, Aftercare, Policies, and Contact. Booking sits outside those seven. Switch on Enable Booking Page and paste an embed. That page does not take a deposit or store a consent form.
You can build before you buy. A license is required to publish or download. If you subscribe to Tattoo Studio Pro, you publish the included website without a separate license. Download as ZIP still needs a license. Standalone hosting is $10 a month or $100 a year. Subscribers claim hosting from the account portal. It shows as included.
The free portfolio ZIP is a different file: one page, $0. Typed content is in the file. A connected Tattoo Studio Pro portfolio or booking form loads live and needs an internet connection. Help says that ZIP leaves out the admin panel, the download button, and cloud save. Publishing it on portfolio.ink is the hosting price above. The ZIP is not that host.
The free tattoo website template is a third file: $0, 11 HTML pages, a contact form, and no booking page. You edit the files.
Help’s self-host section names Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, and GitHub Pages, and it labels them free. Their price cards were not opened on November 8, 2026. This post does not call those hosts free.
Done-for-you setup is $799 or $999 one-time. First year of hosting included, then $100 a year unless your subscription includes hosting. One revision. 30 days of post-launch support. The setup page says live in a week, and also says typically 2 to 3 business days. This post did not time a job. The split is on DIY or done-for-you.
Which bill you are comparing
Put the yearly Squarespace Basic total next to a template only if you also add hosting.
Squarespace US Basic, annual, is $228 a year on the file. Wix Light shows $17 on a yearly card, with the tax lines in conflict, so this post will not print a Wix year total. An Artist template is $99 one-time. Hosting, if you are not subscribed, is $100 a year on the annual card, or $10 a month. Year 1 of the template plus the annual hosting card is $199. Year 2 is $100, because the template does not repeat.
That comparison skips domain registration. No registrar price was opened. It also skips Wix Business, because the dollar amount was missing. The full cost table is on tattoo website cost.
If you are on Wix or Squarespace now, check the site you already have before you decide to move.
FAQs

$799 one-time for an artist site, or $999 one-time for a studio site. The first year of hosting is included, then $100 a year unless your subscription includes hosting. One revision. 30 days of post-launch support. The page’s timing lines were not timed by this post.
