GREAT documentation and anything you still can't figure out, just google. I love building sites on this platform because clients can TRULY maintain their own website once launched.
What concerns me about this software, is the lack of ownership over all the work put into the website. Software companies these days are becoming political and illogical at times.
You don't need any technical or true design skills to create a solid website. The high quality templates, with predetermined styling, ensure that even a simple website looks clean and elegant.
Sometimes there is a lag time where the system takes a little while to respond and that can be annoying.
Love the simplicity of some of the designs on Squarespace. The ability to make a website myself without hiring a designer is worth a lot to me.
In my personal opinion, I think SS is lost with its minimalist phyloshopy and streamlined way of doing things.
Squarespace is a fantastic tool to utilize for non-designers looking for a well developed website for an affordable price. Once you understand the platform it’s very easy to update.
Sometimes it will delete things I don’t want it to accidentally I’m not sure what the problem is, there needs to be a general undo button.
It has unlimited options and still is very easy to work with. It works perfect for distributors and really helps to win people over as resellers.
The language, my English is very bad and it’s not easy for me to work with this plug in.
Wholesale suite made it super easy to add a wholesale channel to our store. Their support has been great and they ensure compatibility with all major Woocommerce Plugins.
The plugin can sometimes conflict with others.
It's a great, straightforward wholesale plugin that does the job we needed effectively. The regular updates and tips from the developer are really useful too to help grow the ecommerce website.
At first it was a little difficult to work with but once you find out all the feature its a breeze.
I love how easy it is to have clients look through order forms and get everything they need in one place, in a nice package.
I would have liked the ordering of sizes as a block of all sizes shown per model to enable quick ordering per model rather than clicking the drop down each time to show and order each size.
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.
