- andai 3y agoI used to look down on it but when I heard it handles payment it blew my mind and I decided I'd rather use it myself if I ever make a shop instead of building it myself. To quote a random guy "I trust their code more than what I wrote at 2am."
- fallingknife 3y agoI am a SWE. When I needed a website for a small business I was running, I used squarespace too. If you just need a static public facing site it's absolutely great.
- joshstrange 3y agoSame here. I used to scoff at their prices “I could do that for way cheaper”, and I could/can… if my time is worthless which it’s not. Now for things that aren’t my core business (day job or side project) I’m much more likely to reach for a paid off-the-shelf solution. After months of putting off building a marketing website for my side project I just paid for a tool to build/host it so all I had to do was plug in my info. Yes I could have hosted it for pennies on S3 with CloudFront in front of it but instead I setup a cname, paid like $20 for the year, and let this other company handle the responsive design (template) for me.
