Your client is correct on all three points.
However, there is a big difference between having the same template as everyone else but with your logo on it, and having a custom built website.
There are always going to be people that want both, so benfal's point 'web design is in danger' is rubbish.
The kind of client that wants a squarespace site, before squarespace existed is the kind of client that wants to pay 10% of a proper budget and expects to get 100% service, so if anything squarespace is doing us a favour as we can bosh these out in a fraction of the time, add a decent markup, hand them over and wipe our hands of them.
- Maybe, but I think he's somewhat correct - it does take a lot of smaller, designer-ish sites awayformed
- Yea maybe that was a little unfair to mr benfal. I don't think web design is in danger but yes it can take away smaller jobs potentiallyset
- But who wants a client who thinks they can do a better job themselves?set
- I think for many people Squarespace is just an on ramp to getting a full fledged site. They will eventually end up paying for the real site as they discover Squarespace limitations.ukit2
- Some will. The biggest danger is that it looks good. So many WP templates or GoD are just horrible, so a do-it-yourself will end up with crap. SS looks pretty good.formed
- Only if you have a nice logo and great photography, as mentioned before.set
