    Thank you. This is exactly what I wanted to know.
    I have two websites on Squarespace and I think I'll leave them there until I start to need features Squarespace can't do.
    I really like systems that just work.

    WordPress is confusing but once you figure out how to navigate it is amazing. I currently like using Divi as the parent theme.

    Clear and concise, well done! Thanks! So tru about WP plug-ins rarely ever “just working”. You can get some beautiful results but there is always something that needs tweaking and it gets old quick. I think I’m going to try out square space for a new client that just needs a basic information page for his business.

    Learning more about Squarespace to serve more clients. Your video is great - thanks for creating this! Very simple!
    I will say towards the end of 2021, Wordpress upgraded it's live page editing 'Edit in UX' which works SO much better than Elementor in my opinion and you don't need an extra plugin or have to worry about it breaking.

    Thank you for the well explained differences between Wordpress and Squarespace. I'm planning to start a blog on Pinterest and have zero technical, computer, software knowledge. I'm coming from the health field starting a new venture. I want a website that looks professional and cohesive, and user friendly. I've spent a lot of time this week reading blog post after blog post on Pinterest looking for recommendations on best hosting platforms and Wordpress. My head was left spinning as everyone recommends something different without much clarity. Now I have a much better understanding! Thanks again!

    This was a very good review. I'm familiar with WordPress and have built beautiful websites and absolutely love the ability to customize everything but have to admit that it can be a ton of work. You're spot on about the learning curve. I might check squarespace out. Thanks 🙏

  • @Quetzelkoa

    Another excellent video.
    I'll add one of the biggest frustrations I have with wordpress: the theme, pagebuilder, and WP itself are always fighting with each other. If I want to change colors, do I do that in the theme customizer or the elementor interface? Which one gets priority? This pops up everywhere and I feel like I have to check ten different places (and slowly load between each one) just to do the most basic things. And even then the fixes aren't universally applied. Will give Squarespace and Carrd a much closer look thanks to your videos!

    Thanks for nice comparison. Can Square or wordpress do stock information by checking actual stock level. Ofcourse, Square can display a msg below product saying "only 10 available". It will not same after a few orders placed. Do u have to modify msg every time the real stock level in either in squre or wordpress?

    Very good and concise, thanks! I’m actually on the fence between the two but already bought a domain name and a Wordpress platform at hostinger host 😅 but I just want something quite easy even if I’m not against learning things. What about divi theme? (Which includes divi builder). Doesn’t this make Wordpress more user-friendly a bit like elementor?

    • @stevebuildswebsites
      @stevebuildswebsites  4 місяці тому

      IMO it makes WordPress more user-friendly - but still not as simple as Squarespace. So probably worth trying if you've already paid for Hostinger! If you do try, let mw know how it goes :)

This would be my selling product ! Which one should I lean towards ? Thank you !
