This great article by wpmudev explains in detail which areas WordPress is better than Squarespace.

The article is from a pro WordPress website so it naturally leans on favouring WordPress. The article is technically sound, however, whether WordPress is “better” than Squarespace is debatable, it all depends on what you expect from the website (shot term and long term).

For example, if your requirement is for a simple information based website using an existing design template, there’s no need to worry about the limitations because you’ll never need to touch them.
On the other hand, the moment you want to start customising design and functionality you’ll bump into one of the 27 limitations pretty quickly and could leave you feeling quite frustrated. (“why didn’t someone tell me!” is a statement we often hear.)

The key takeaway is to select the correct platform for you from the very start. With the popularity of website builders like Squarespace, Wix, Weebly etc, this topic is very popular with our consultancy work.

Good website builders have an attractive pricing/simplicity point, however we help you discover the blind spots you don’t see which could save you costly experiences in the long run.
