    So if I use the url from old old site that was hosted elsewhere and I move my domain over to squarespace... same domain will be used. For example my old page url was /Gallery1/Hall_Table/hall_table.html and I create the brand new page on Squarespace just called hall-table, I can plug the info into the redirect and it would work. My old page will not exist anymore being that it was on a different server and removed.

    I ran into a problem using the built-in code blocks. They take up physical space on the site, especially on the mobile site! Hiding them is not trivial. Some have said you can inject some CSS code to make its size 0 but I wasn't able to get it working. If you could post an update to this issue, or someone has a solution, please reply to let me know! I am using the block id method instead, but this is not as good, since it may scroll a little too far.

      If u have wordpress skills: buddyboss with learndush would be an option too. Its i think 420 Euro plus server cost a year. You should add a marketing tool too, maybe brevo or mailchimp. Way cheaper then both and more customization options.

    If you're designing a website for a small business owner, and both platforms will create a beautiful website, from the client standpoint, is there a reason showit would provide a better experience for the client compared to Squarespace? Seems like squarespace is better b/c it's less expensive, maybe even easier to update the website if they ever want to do that.

    • @LocalCreative
      @LocalCreative 4 місяці тому

      It really depends. I find I can do so much more without code in Showit and adding code to a Squarespace website makes it difficult for clients to edit. Also Showit takes regular backups which is great if the client messes anything up and we need to revert back.
