If you’re a web designer with no background in development and you don’t want to touch a single line of code, using a visual website builder can be an appealing option. With Squarespace, you can create designs from scratch and tinker with them while directly seeing the end result.
Moreover, Squarespace’s website building tools are easy to use even if you don’t consider yourself technically inclined, which is a plus. However, using WordPress as a web designer can be just as engaging. Although the Block Builder doesn’t enable you to customize pages while previewing the final result, it’s also highly intuitive. This CMS also offers far more options and themes, making it easier to create a unique-looking website.
If you’re comfortable using plugins, there are a lot of options that incorporate full-blown website builder tools into WordPress. Some of the best examples include plugins such as Divi, Beaver Builder, and Elementor. In all three cases, by setting up a plugin, you get to experience page builder tools that are on the same level as what Squarespace offers (or better).
