HERE IS SOME HONESTLY. SQUARESPACE SITES ARE FAIRLY SIMPLE TO USE. YES EVEN BUILDING A SQUARESPACE SITE TAKES TIME , SO YES IT DOES DESERVE PAY FOR THE CREATION AND EFFORT YOUR WEB DESIGNER PUTS IN IT. BUT AS A PLATFORM AND ESPECIALLY WITH HOW EASY AND SIMPLE IT IS FOR MOST TO USE ( EVEN WITH CSS , SQUARESPACE IS ACTUALLY ALOT MORE LIMITED THAN SAY A FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE WORDPRESS SITE) FEES SUCH AS 900 ETC AND UP FOR A SQUARESPACE SITE IN MY OPINION ARE UNREASONABLE UNLESS, AND AGAIN , UNLESS YOU HAVE MANY MANY PAGES WITH COMPLEX INFORMATION!
BUT IN GOOD CHARACTER AND HONESTY NO ONE SHOULD CHARGE YOU A HIGH AMOUNT FOR A SQUARESPACE SITE UNLESS HOURS AND HOURS OF WORK WERE PUT INTO IT AND THEY TRULY DID LOTS OF CSS CODING ADDITIONS TO YOUR THEME.
WORDPRESS SITES ( NOT THE READER OR BLOGGER ONES, THOSE WILL GET SHUT DOWN SHOULD WORDPRESS FIND YOU USING THEM) REQUIRE A LITTLE MORE KNOWLEDGE AND IN MY OPINION ARE A LOT MORE CUSTOMIZABLE. SO YES FEES ON A WORDPRESS SITE CAN GO FROM 200 UP TO 2k DEPENDING ON YOUR DESIGN, AMOUNT OF PAGES, SPECIAL EFFECTS, MEDIA ETC.
WIX, WEEBLY ALL OF THOSE IN MY OPINION ARE ONE STEP UNDER SQUARESPACE AND THE PRICE ON THOSE SITES SHOULD NEVER GO ABOVE 300 IF YOU ARE HAVING ONE CREATED.
AGAIN I TOLD YOU I AM HONEST , AND AS YOU CAN SEE I AM GIVING YOU FACTS HERE TO HELP YOU MAKE A DECISION ON WHO YOU HIRE TO DO YOUR SITE.
DON’T JUST LOOK AT THE BEAUTY OF THE WORK THE WEB DESIGNER DOES!
LOOK AT THE PRICING THEY ARE CHARGING YOU AND DO YOUR RESEARCH AND SEE IF IT’S REALLY FAIR, OR IF THERE IS A QUITE BLOATED “MARK UP”.
WIX SITES SHOULD NEVER EVER EVER COST YOU MORE THAN 300 FOR ANYONE TO CREATE!
