So I’ll tell you from my past experience that there are plenty of designers that make money building websites using platforms like squarespace. The trick is that the designer adds additional polish and takes the full service approach: - wiring up CRM platforms - mailing list management - SEO optimizations And so on. In some cases these folks are more than comfortable working in something like Wordpress or Jekyll, but they also want the site to be maintainable by their customer and choose Squarespace instead. But I would agree that the days of “make me a simple website” are long gone. Now you have to be a full service shop.
