Where Squarespace Falls Short
- No AI. Zero. You pick a template and customize everything manually.
- No free tier. You pay before you see anything. 14-day trial requires credit card.
- Beautiful designs, but static. Your site never improves or adapts.
- SEO is manual. You configure meta tags, alt text, and URLs yourself.
- Limited to their template designs. Want something custom? Hire a developer.
- No industry intelligence. A plumber site is built with the same tools as a fashion brand.
