Why WordPress is Better Than Squarespace | EP 145

Why WordPress is Better Than Squarespace

1. You own your content 01:23
   • You can move it and do whatever you want with it at any time.
   • With Squarespace, you are essentially renting space on the platform and can’t move the content.
2. You can migrate your website 01:55
   • With WordPress, it’s super easy to migrate your website to another platform (not that you’ll want to because WordPress is the best!).
   • When you design a website on Squarespace, you’re locked into that design. If you want to move to another platform (or even a different template), you have to start completely over. You’ll be stuck paying your monthly subscription fee forever… or at least until you eventually build a new website.
3. You have more choices 02:44
   • WordPress has so many plugins, themes, and integrations that you can use to customize your site.
   • Squarespace can build a beautiful website, but you’ll always come up against limitations with design and integrations. It’s just the way that the platform is built.
   • Also, it is very easy to find a WordPress developer who can help you with your website. Squarespace developers are harder to come by and have limited ability to customize the platform.
