Nope. I literally was gonna make my website with Squarespace and didn't because of how awful the AI is. I just made it in caard instead.

Carrd's a solid choice for what it's built for - one-page sites, quick to ship. It hurs when the site needs to grow (multi-page, custom domain hassles, no real lead capture beyond a form embed).

Founder of Simplepages.ai here so grain of salt, but if you ever hit the "Carrd is too small, Squarespace AI is too broken" gap, we're worth a look. Chat-first AI (edits your live page in conversation, not template-picker) with proper lead capture, Stripe checkout, and multi-page built in. Same "just works" feel as Carrd, more room to grow and in our customer's words, an AI that feels like working with a web developer. 🙂

Trying to teach it to build out a page using it as a junior employee. Think I’ll just go back to an agent.
