    Within most social communities that I'm around, most people seem to prefer wix and the reason is probably the customization you mentioned.
    I believe both are ok for web newcomers and then ultimately one can move to something more professional and custom.

    Thanks for the great comparison - very helpful! I am pretty new to web building, plan to do it only for our own businesses and non-profit, and I am still leaning towards Wix. I think the fact that it might be slightly more cumbersome will be overcome quickly with use and the added flexibility will be appreciated down the road.

I want to buy my domain name from a different site like maybe Hostinger, to keep my domain and web hosting separate and not bundled in one place. Does anyone know if Squarespace lets you decline their free one-year domain offer? Could I just connect my domain from Hostinger and put it as my primary one on Squarespace

    I love getting lost in details and making my page as much to my liking as i want. but if this changes the moment, somebody uses a different screen ratio or a phone, all of it is lost. what good is it then, really? that - for me breaks the deal because it's 2023, not 2010, where using a phone for websites was kinda useless in general :P

  • @jrbailey3208
    @jrbailey3208 Год назад +3

    Great Primer on the two platforms, I liked it, but as usual with this stuff, I still feel 'adrift' as to the particulars as they relate to my specific needs.
    The choice is 'easy' in that I'm poorer than dirt, and $16 a month is a cost I simply can't afford right now. Sounds ridiculous I know, but allow me to point out that the 'smartphone' I've used for the last 2 years was on the 'heavily discounted' cage area in Wally World (Walmart) at $75; a Motorola Stylus 4. $75 for me was a MAJOR cost given that about every other month to 3rd month, I get 'shut off' notices from the Utility companies; I'm physically impaired, on a severely limited indeterminate income ($4k most years), and on food stamps (for which I am blessed: I get to eat meat on a monthly basis because of them): thus, Wix having a 'free' site option that at least goes for a while, is really my only choice.
    My LONG drawn out point is I don't have Widgets to sell: I have a book on Amazon I want to sell, but can't afford to advertise on Amazon. I have articles that I also can write, based upon the expertise of my education (History with specialties in Modern Russian/Soviet history and Modern African history), as they relate to Current Affairs. I'm almost ready to publish my Short Story Collection, so I'll have two books on Amazon, with 3 more to come in the next 6 months (drafts are nearly done, ready for editing).
    Basically, I'm trying to get off of food stamps by accessing my knowledge and writing skills, and for that, I need to make my 'products' known. I've tried 'instagram' but the rain forests of the Amazon are more clearly laid out for 'easy travel' than instagram is. I've got a FB page up, but advertising on FB would cost a fortune I don't have as well, and quite frankly, I don't trust FB's 'record keeping' pertaining to costs, anymore than I would one of those colorful little tree frogs in the aforementioned Amazon, whose skin when touched, elicits a rather dismal end to the 'Touchee' as they might have said on Rowan and Martin's 'Laugh In'.
    So, given the long winded informational I've provided you, is there a chance you can recommend which 'categories' and attributes on the 'free' portion of Wix I might look at and select, when I get started?
    Thank you for reading my verbose missive; those of us trained as historians tend to be long winded, whether verbally or digitally (double entendre intended).
    Cheers from the Oil Patch in Central WY

    These are great tips! In a sense, both platforms have their own unique features and benefits. However, which one is right for you will ultimately depend on your specific needs and preferences. Wix is a more intuitive and user-friendly platform, making it ideal for those who are new to website design. Squarespace, on the other hand, offers a more flexible and customizable experience, allowing experienced users to create truly unique websites.
