Overall Satisfaction with Squarespace

Squarespace is used for clients who need a website and want to be able to change things on the backend without the help of anyone else. It's an affordable and aesthetically pleasant option. It's an easy to use CMS and has enough capabilities within it.
  • Pleasant themes
  • Usability
  • Customization lacking (CSS)
  • Easy to implement
  • Easy to use
  • Easy to teach
Squarespace's most attractive feature in comparison to WordPress and Wix is its library of themes available to use. WordPress has a neverending supply of options but that's WordPress, the industry-standard however the limited options for Squarespace is nice so you aren't needing to search for ages to find something you love. Wix's WYSIWYG builder is more user-friendly for novices and people who just want to change something on the fly.

Yes

I would recommend the use of Squarespace for people who want a minimal and attractive website as Squarespace does this sort of theme well. It's easy enough to use and affordable. Good for newbie web designers and/or people who are new to making a website or on a limited budget. Also for those who don't need too much customization and that want to be able to make edits on their own without the use of a developer.
