With very little experience at the time building a website SS was a godsend once I became proficient with the basics designing the site and tailoring it to my liking was easy and became a fun experience using the various tools and experimenting with site. I built several sites for my friends businesses which they still use today and after some guidance they became quite good at adjusting the site themselves without my input.
Not much I found the site incredibly user friendly and for a beginner it was a great experience. Perhaps a few tutorial videos for the basics would have helped me in the beginning but I still found my way regardless.
Removes the need for coding knowledge yet still allows for this for the more experienced site builders as well as only requiring simple coding for small adjustments. I was able to find and input specific features as the site allows for adjustments if you have the knowledge and if not it has built-in tools to help with this albeit with the extra cost.

I love that Squarespace gives non webdesigners the capability to design a beautiful website without any type of coding required. It's truly a tool I recommend to new business owners who may just need a site set up with all the capabilities of a professionally coded site.
The pricing of it has never been friendly to me. I believe that the pricing of Squarespace is fair and a great starter, but it's heavy for new entrepeneurs when they first start.
Squarespace is allowing me to design beautiful and functional websites for clients and pass off a website that they can feel confident editing because it's an easy to use and learn platform.
Very happy with the learning curve and tools for the price. Pretty happy with add-ons for lists and products. They are continually releasing new tools but doesn't feel like I constantly have to pay more.
Wish I didn't have to show prices for my products. Wish they would expand their API to include image galleries. Couldn't transfer a 7.0 site to 7.1 without recreating. Wish I could print mailing labels without needing to buy postage through them.
Making high quality websites cheaper and easier for small businesses like myself. I don't need an expensive industry-specific websites. (Used to have to pay $4000 for a basic template site catered to my industry).
I loved how easy to use Squarespace was.
With Squarespace, I wasn't able to have two stores that I could transfer inventory between.
I was hand writing transactions, which made it hard to figure out the cost of goods sold and access total sales and total tax collected for sales tax collection.
Ease of use. Ease of maintenance. No headache of updates & security. Custom code/features fit great with inbuilt features. Squarespace's inbuilt features usually fulfil needs of most businesses with a need of integrating a third-party plugin, which usually come with its own problems.
Pricing for advanced commerce plan while lacking heaps of features. The abandonment issues – there was no way of updating from Squarespace 7 websites to 7.1 and most of the new features are released for
Building good quality websites quickly. A set of integrated tools help me fulfil the needs of most of my clients without integrating a third party tool/plugin. Easy to maintain and edit. No headaches about security or updates.
It's super easy to use. You do not have to have a lot of knowledge to start your website and get going. For example, I had a domain already, and I was able to link it to my Squarespace easily. If you don't have a domain they let you get one through them!
I wish there were more options for websites, like if creators of websites could easily give you a customized website, so you don't have to go through taking one everyone uses. Also, I wish some of the social media features uploaded more quickly; it's a tad bit slow, or sometimes it will pull up an older account from your last sync.
I love being able to have my blog but also have my socials and products I recommend. It's super easy to have an updated website when using Squarespace and the price is affordable as well!
How easy it is to create a nice looking, sleek, professional website
They have consistently taken on pricing increases
The ability to be my own designer and not pay someone each time i would like to make a change.
