CONS – Squarespace
Higher monthly fees for web hosting, which may ultimately end up costing more than a custom web site. You may be forced to pay for an upgraded status just to get a specific feature (IE a calendar) on your web site.No matter how easy it sounds, those who want to build or edit a site must learn new software, read instructions and generally be motivated to problem-solve.
You are married to your web host, since they own the software. Moving your web site to another host would be difficult to impossible. Taking your templated site design with you when you go would probably be a copyright violation.
Like all user interfaces, web building software has limitations when compared to custom designs. Sure, you can get your logo to appear on your web site. But can you get it sized right, with the right background color, in the right place? There is no comparison to what a good designer can do when working directly with the HTML and CSS code.
Since these sites are database driven, pages may be slower to load, and search engine optimization may be compromised (depends on your host / software).
