Wordpress Websites vs Squarespace Websites

Wordpress is an open source project which means that anyone can contribute to it, regardless of their technical ability. Because Wordpress is technically free to use, there is no customer support and no team of developers on hand to fix bugs and errors. Squarespace, on the other hand, is an all in one platform with 24 hour support and a team of some of the best engineers in the world maintaining its websites. Unlike Wordpress, if a new feature is released on Squarespace, it is thoroughly checked and tested before it is rolled out. One of the main reasons Wordpress has been so popular in the past is because of its wide range of plugins. But adding all of those extra things to your site, made by various different developers, can make your website unstable. Many of the features that Wordpress requires a plugin for are already native features of Squarespace. It should be noted that Squarespace also has the ability to be heavily customised with code for those who want to go down that route. There is simply no need for a business or individual to be using Wordpress anymore. Why pay a web designer to go through all of that technical setup with no guarantee that you’ll get a website that will work well on all devices, or will work at all? With Squarespace, you won’t have to worry about hosting, plugins, sitemaps or many of the other technical terms you may have heard. Squarespace websites work perfectly on all devices, straight out of the box. With all the technical setup out of the way, we are able to focus more on the design of your website and how it’s going to work for your business.
