Move to Squarespace!

A little while back, I decided to leave Weebly and move on to Squarespace. Between its various quirks and just in general being tired of the same stagnant website which I felt like was designed as good as it was going to get, I wanted something new and began to look for a new alternative.

I’ve been wanting to move on from Weebly for a while now actually, but held off on doing it because I didn’t know of an alternative that was better. Wix was my first option as I’ve had a site with them before and while their editor has improved, its still lacking and the page container issue is still present. Thats when I thought about Squarespace which, admittingly, I thought was overrated and rather confusing to use. Well after giving it a bit of time, I discovered that while it is a bit harder to use than Weebly, it actually works much better.

It provides a lot of flexibility in terms of features and templates that Weebly as well as Wix to some degree can’t match. The number of gallery options to display your work, taking full advantage of screen space, a better content storing system, general professional feel to the way each template is designed, etc and its easy to see why its recommended over the other two. I’ve only tested the ecommerce option surface deep for now, but even then that seems to have more depth to it than Weeblys system in its entirety even though Weebly has recently partnered up with Square.

Its taken several weeks to map out and setup the new site from both the content to the technical details like domain transfers, but its been worth it. There’s still a lot of work that needs to be done to get the site the way I want it, but its slowly getting there. If I had to recommend a website builder, I couldn’t recommend Squarespace enough.
