The Best Website Builder for Simple Sites
I genuinely love this tool for creating websites. It is easy to use, cost efficient, and turns out a great end product. I have used it to make websites for photographers, restaurants, and sales businesses alike. It is so versatile and every site visitor thinks it's professionally done.
Pros
This software is easy to use, intuitive, and when you can't figure something out Support is right there for you. They have tons of how to videos and instructions that make everything pretty easy to figure out.
Cons
I dislike the spacer feature - it gets pretty annoying to use those instead of being able to snap an object to a grid and align that way. It works much like Microsoft Word in the sense that if you try to resize or adjust something, sometimes everything on the page moves.
Reasons for choosing Squarespace
BentoBox is specific to restaurants - they have a wonderful product, however their set-up and pricing did not work for us. Essentially, you pay them to create the initial site and then it's up to you to edit/take care of after the fact. You pay a large set up fee and a pretty expensive monthly fee in perpetuity. We have five locations and it just wasn't cost efficient. Since I already knew how to use Squarespace and knew how to work with SEO, it was an easy, much more cost-effective switch. Bentobox is a great product, but it is pricey to maintain. As a restaurant, we have simple needs as to what people are looking for when they come to our site.
Reasons for switching to Squarespace
Our site was continually hacked, there was very little support, it was complicated to use. Our sites were outdated and I wanted to switch us to something everyone on our team, no matter their level of tech expertise, could use.

Best way to accept online payments
I use Squarespace in the majority of my web design projects. I find the it much more user friendly than other online payment platforms. The support is head and shoulders above other payment gateways.
Pros
I found Squarespace the simplest and most effective way to start accepting online payments.
Cons
Integration with Wordpress and Woocommerce.
Reasons for choosing Squarespace
The main reason was the support for Squarespace
Reasons for switching to Squarespace
The final straw was the lack of support from PayPal. They also made things very complicated trying to integrate their payment gateway into websites.

Not a fan of Squarespace's site builder
I've used plenty of other website builders through the years and Squarespace has to be one of my least favorites. Limited features and user customization. Updating pages with their drag and drop is a pain, blocks have to be added in a certain order or the whole page's formatting gets messed up, no way to adjust blocks to all to be uniform size.
Pros
Organization of sites, ability to make password protected drafts.
Cons
Hate hate hate the way websites are designed with its user interface. Not very customizable and using the blocks can be a headache. Limited features. Not much SEO guidance.

I use Squarespace for my Portfolio Website
I started using Squarespace to create a dedicated portfolio website and blog for my work; something professional that I could include on a business card or show to potential clients/ employers. I had very little coding knowledge, which made Squarespace a lot more desirable than many of its competitors. I was able to make a website to my liking without too much pain or trouble. While certain aspects took more time to implement and I had to compromise on certain features (ex: I wanted the site in both French and English, but could only have one landing page), It was overall much simpler and better than the alternatives I could have gone with. Additionally, since I made the website and its content myself, I could also manage it myself.
Pros
It is easy to pick up and start customizing, even with limited coding abilities. The templates and add-ons are set up to bring your website to life.
Cons
For an individual using Squarespace to display a portfolio and not much more, it's rather expensive compared to its competitors.
Reasons for switching to Squarespace
Squarespace was a lot easier to pick up and required a lot less coding and management.
