Squarespace vs Pixpa: Which is a better fit?

Liz K.: Hi, my name is Liz. I am a Senior Paralegal at a niche law firm, but I'm also involved in operations at our resident techie outside of our external IT department. Our company size is approximately 30 people, and I would give Squarespace a one or two. Okay. We use Squarespace to host our company's basically about website with the details of what we do. Not our client portals, but just our company's main webpage. We are in the process of migrating to Wix. I have extensive experience with coding languages as well as multiple hosting providers. Wix is one that I'm not familiar with. And in the brief time I've already started using Wix, I prefer it to Squarespace dramatically. And I'm still not even fully up to everything with it. The one feature I do like about Squarespace is how easy it is to set up an application as well as the menus and their sub-menus, and add external links that in a way that it looks appealing. I hate their way to set up webpages. I hate how finicky it is. I hate how little control you have. I hate that you can't set the pixels with it, do you want the columns, you have to drag and drop everything. At some points, I wish I could write it into code rather than use their built-in thing, but that's not an option. I do not like how, for example, on our employees page, I have to click the add picture, add text, add this, add spacers in certain order. It gets all messed up. You drag and drop a block the wrong way, the whole website gets screwy. And then there's no one to... Or it's just very un-user-friendly for a site that advertises itself to be user-friendly. And again, I am very experienced with web design and I find it very frustrating, so I couldn't imagine someone who's never built a website before trying to figure it out.

Matthew P.: Hi, I'm Matthew. I am a photographer and business owner. I am rating Pixpa, and I give Pixpa five stars. If you'd like to see more reviews like this, click below. Before I used Pixpa, I looked at a number of options. I considered things like Wix. I also used for a while a product called Format. And then I used Format for a good couple of years before I decided to switch and settled on Pixpa. I chose Pixpa because of the range of the functionality that it offered for the price point. I particularly liked the option for being able to sell my items through my website. And there was no commission taken. And the options there were really very flexible, and suited my needs and my customers very well. Getting started with Pixpa, I guess, like any platform, you have to spend a little bit of time learning, but it didn't take me long at all. I found that I was able to transition over. It was fairly self explanatory following my way around the website and the tools that they provide. And on one occasion, contacted support regarding a problem I was having, and they were really responsive. If you are considering getting Pixpa, I would recommend jumping in and having a look through, they have a free trial, I believe. They did have when I tried it out at first. And it's worth having a look because you'll probably find that it's fairly straightforward. You'll be quite, I think, pleased by the... Well, I was pleased by the range of functionality that it offered for the price that they charge.
