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.

Adham E.: Hi there, my name is Adham, I work as an airline ticketing agent, and I would rate Scalenut in total about four out of five. If I were able to give it a fracture, I would go a little bit higher. But overall, I have a little concern about the pricing, but other than that, I would rate it four out of five. Okay, so overall I would say that it's just trying to find the perfect combination of words that would lead to the right place in the search engine optimization. How the search engine works, it just makes it a little bit easier instead of the guessing game and trial and error or hiring an external agency to handle stuff like that, can get a little bit pricey and you don't really control your whole content as much. It kind of helps find that optimization and makes it easier for you to find the right words to use that you're going to end up trying to describe anyways, but you might not be using the right words to describe what you're trying to describe. What I like most is that they have an automated process. If you go through the flow, it kind of helps you from the process from start to end. You just basically have to give it an outline about what you're thinking about and what you want to accomplish, and then it kind of guides you along the way using the recommended words or keywords in the positions that would help you kind of jump up the ladder a little bit when it comes to search engine optimization, it kind of helps you find the right description for the website or the webpage, the title and keywords that you should also use. I think they should not limit your choices by sometimes maybe industry or something like that. They should be able to let you choose. Also, the second thing is, it would be a lot better if we were able to control the results after they come in. If you're trying to search for the first 30, top 30 ranked websites and then you should work from there. I think I should have the opportunity to make changes to those 30 websites because some of them might not be really that relative, and I think that kind of hurts a little bit too, that I'm not able to make that adjustment before I move on to the next step.
