Let’s be honest, getting a website built can feel like climbing Mount Everest in flip-flops. You know you need one, but the technical jargon, the endless options, and the fear of being left with a site you can’t update yourself?
That’s where Amanda Rie Creative comes in. We understand the struggle, and we’re here to build you a website that’s not only beautiful and effective, but also empowering.
Why We Lean Towards Squarespace (and Why You’ll Love It Too)
Yes, we work with WordPress (our site is WordPress). It’s a powerful platform, no doubt. But for most small businesses, Squarespace offers a streamlined, user-friendly experience that’s hard to beat. Here’s why we often recommend it:
- Intuitive Drag-and-Drop Interface: Forget wrestling with code. Squarespace’s visual editor lets you easily add, move, and customize elements with simple drag-and-drop functionality. You’ll feel like a designer in no time. But we can still add code to the site to get it to do exactly what you want it to do!
- Built-in Features for Everything You Need: From e-commerce and blogging to appointment scheduling and email marketing integrations, Squarespace has the tools you need to run your business online. No messing with extra plugins and things that break.
- Simplified Maintenance and Security: Squarespace handles all the technical stuff, like software updates and security patches, so you can focus on your business.
- Client Empowerment: Most importantly, our goal is for you to be able to confidently manage your website after we launch it. Squarespace makes that easy.
