Across about thirty client sites, Squarespace generates the fewest support requests by a wide margin. Clients update their own content without breaking anything, the sites look professional with almost no design work, and nobody has ever rung me about hosting.
Pros
Clients maintain their own sites successfully, which is rare. Commerce and scheduling included.
Cons
We move SEO-led clients elsewhere once redirects and schema matter.
Problems it solves
Client sites stopped generating a steady stream of small support jobs.

“A site that looks designed, built by someone who is not”
Used monthly for 1–2 years
I run a small studio and needed something that looked considered without hiring anyone. Picked a template on Saturday, was live by Sunday evening, and clients regularly assume I paid a designer. That is the entire value proposition and it delivers.
Pros
Beautiful defaults. Scheduling and invoicing included saved two other subscriptions.
Cons
Wanted an asymmetric hero and spent an hour discovering I could not have it.
Problems it solves
Got a professional web presence without a designer or a developer.

“Support answered on a Sunday”
Used monthly for 1–2 years
Not a feature, but it is why I stayed. My checkout broke the night before a launch and someone competent replied within twenty minutes on a weekend. Every other builder I have used routed me to a forum.
Pros
Support quality. Reliable uptime. Commerce that just works.
Cons
Renewal price is noticeably above the introductory rate.
