What differentiates Squarespace from other similar products?

The design functionality is easier than other website apps I've used. I rarely have to get into the code because the out-of-the-box components are sufficient most of the time.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The internal navigation is great - being able to sort pages in a way that makes the most sense to us on the back-end, but without that organization system being visible to website visitors. (You can create folders and arrange them however you want. Pages don't have to be organized according to the forward-facing nav.)

What do you dislike most about this product?

The analytics are lacking. I continue to use Google Analytics for everything because it has way more options for custom tags and reports.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Be sure to implement Google Analytics alongside Squarespace so you have the data ready when you need an answer to an analytics question. Squarespace might not have your answer.
