Squarespace makes me excited to create a website! :)
It's such a beautifully run platform and it's simple to use which is great because designing and building a website is usually confusing and complicated but Squarespace makes it fun! Lots of great templates to play around with and it's cool that you can view the site before you've even paid.
They spam you a bit if you haven't paid yet - which you could turn off but if you forget to, they email often.

The interface was easy to use and the themes looked good
It was difficult to customize everything I wanted to fit my website design needs

Favourite tool to make microsites with an ease.
Some of the templates are not super customisable.

It's easy to use and even for people that don't have design skills, your page will look like you do. Clean and good quality templates also very customizing.
Not much, I was very happy with the overall user experience I had and how it turned out.

They offer a lot of options if you are willing to pay.
Squarespace is really expensive for what they offer compared to their peers.

another free web building platform.
A free web development platform that allows users to construct their very own websites, without having to hire a professional web developer.
User access is very limited. You have to choose from a variety of pre-created themes and templates in order to build your website.

Very easy to build a simple website with this tool
Hard to control certain aspects of the website without editing code

I've used Squarespace for a few projects, and really enjoy it for setting up a site that is easily updated by a non-computer-savvy client.
Squarespace has a great selection of beautiful, free themes to choose from. It's easy to use with a great back-end interface and the site can be continually used an updated by even the least tech-savvy person.
I find it hard to implement ideal SEO standards for Squarespace sites that are hosted on Squarespace.

People pay certain amount of money and get way more than what they paid from customers who purchase thei designs
It doesn't have a wide variety of designs so many people may have the same looking website but they can customize it

The money you pay for your website is very much worth what you will receive in return. Great quality, and ease of domain purchase.
I like being able to create a website for myself without having to employ and expensive graphic designer. I have the ability to customize exactly what I want.
Not entirely seamless, it does involve a bit of software knowledge that the average user may not have. Very simple for some, but still difficult for other groups.

It was fairly easy to get started in terms of getting the initial layout set for a new site. There was not a lot that could go wrong initially.
I found the adding of elements to be a bit frustrating and the interface not as intuitive as other competitors on the market. It was not the best price point either.

It seems relatively simple to build your own website through it.
It might be simple... but it's not easy.

I would use more often if swipes were more predictable- otherwise it’s a good product.
The app was super easy and convenient. Logging the money collected was a strong featured that I enjoyed.
I found that the squarespace swipers did not work well. This caused a lot of backup and some cards did not working at all. Since this is a key feature, I would likely not use as often because of its unreliability.

Able to take payments from my office clients without needing much tools or technology. Seems straight forward enough.
The item is working some days and some days it doesn’t work. The piece you put into your phone doesn’t work on iPhone 8 or higher.

got the job done with little effort
As a software dev I needed a quick and easy solution to setup a marketing landing page. Squarespace was perfect for it. I non technical person can setup a site. I was super happy that the site formats perfect on phones and tablets.
The pricing was a little on the high-end however this is a premium product. I would use it again. They even include a free domain name .

Huge variety of templates. Great options are available to make sure you create a website the way you want it to look.
The subscriptions can be very pricey if you do not want to pay the whole year up front.

This website builder has some really nice looking templates and it seems like it wouldn't be too hard to build a site using them.
The functionality of this is lacking, it is not user friendly at all really. It is difficult to even find buttons, until they pop after hovering over them.

Easy to use. It is a simple process to build a website with Squarespace. Well suited for individuals that want to build a site cheaply and quickly.
Squarespace has very limited functionality. I used it for a while but had to stop because it couldn't meet my needs.

It is a simple and easy tool to make websites, just drag and drop. The websites look nice and clean and the best part is the pricing is very reasonable.
One can tell if its a square space site, they are not too complicated. The sites do not feel fresh and clean, basically look like a few photos with content attached. Hard to add things to a square space site, such as plug ins, tracking plugins etc.

The best part of Squarespace is that you don't need to know any coding to get started. Their builder is incredibly intuitive and easy to use which makes building a website a lot better.
We came across an issue when we started using Squarespace. The issue would likely have easily been solved by a quick phone call though phone support is not available.

Squarespace is good website-building software. It works well for static websites.
It doesn't provide much customization or themes for the website, the rest is okay.

Made it fast and easy to accept payments when at conventions or shows and the rates we received were really great. They made qualifying for the account very easy as our credit was really good but again the process was quick and easy.
The card ready is a little small and must keep track of where we place it when not in use but everything else about the service is great.
