Overall Satisfaction with Squarespace
I use Squarespace for two websites. One for me personally and another for my company. It definitely makes great websites that look fantastic on both mobile and laptops. I also use it for marketing lists and emails, for selling products with a checkout, and for analytics. I'm considering using it for memberships but haven't gotten there yet.
Pros
- Looks incredible
- Great integration of marketing and SEO for websites
- Great integration for marketing emails
- Sites are mobile responsive without having to design a separate site
Cons
- Customizing the sites can be highly UN intuitive
- Navigation for editing the sites can be difficult and frustrating
- Squarespace has different versions and it's hard to know which version you're on. You can't switch after you start making a site with one version.
- I got my gorgeous site up ASAP
- It looks/works swell on my laptop and my phone
- Those seem to be the core Squarespace value props and they deliver
- When I've wanted to customize them, it's been quite difficult
Both of my fields are visual, so design is as important as functionality. Unbounce looks great, but it's not set up for the same full functionality. I've also been quite familiar with Squarespace and felt comfortable with them.
