- easy to use, a designer can update the website
================================...
You don't need any programming skills to update the site. A designer CAN update the site easily and can keep everything looking on-brand. If you let the client loose on the site that may be another story though - they might end up arsing things up that may mean any template tweaking you did previously to all be re-done.- doesn't require any kind of programmer
================================...
Yup anyone can do it. You can go for one of the more expensive packages that lets you go in and tweak the HTML or CSS to your hearts desire if you are a programmer though although its not necessary.
Your client will have to know that you are restricted to the fonts within the template though unless you sign up to the dev version and tweak the CSS yourself.- can easily integrate with google analytics, twitter, etc
================================...
Stupidly easy! In the settings you enter in your unique Google Analytics number and Squarespace does the rest automatically.
Same with pulling in your Twitter feed, instagram feed etc etc - just connect the account in the admin and that's it. Instantly works! No tech knowledge needed.Does it make sense from a budget perspective? All the sites will ahve to be branded in color, there will be plenty of tweaks.
================================...As I said previously your client needs to be aware that they have to stick to the template fonts and CSS styling of stuff.
In terms of colours/skinning it's not as open as you think without going the dev route and tweaking CSS.
You can upload your own imagery and logo etc to skin the site so it looks in-brand.I've used Squarespace for a music website and pretty much put it together in a weekend. I plan on using it to create a portfolio website too and probably sell stuff from it too (the shop is stupid easy to integrate - no tech knowledge needed!).
