Squarespace gunning for WordPress

Erin Griffith for PandoDaily:

But, especially with Squarespace 6, Casalena said the platform is ready for adoption from publishers of any size. Version five, while excellent, “wasn’t a developer’s dream come true because they couldn’t get into all the code,” he said. The new version is more open for developers. The company is completely capable of hosting high volume sites and is building out programs comparable to WordPress’s support staff.

I’m beta testing Squarespace 6 and I really like what I see so far. There are some functionality things that I’m not too sure about yet, but I expect this to be a really big rollout.

    My biggest issue with Squarespace 6 right now is the lack of consistency in the themes. For instance, on the link posts there’s a permalink on some of the themes, but on others there’s no way to get it other than an archives page — which must be manually created.

    Hey Jim – folks reading may be interested in checking out Breezi too. We just launched recently in beta, and in a nutshell, Breezi is a website editor for designers, giving pixel level control. We actually take a different approach than providing pre-designed templates, and instead give grid-based wireframe options as starting points, so as not to constrain the design process.

    I’ll ping you via email to see if you’d like to check out a demo. 

    cheers, Chris
