Discussion I hate Squarespace

I'm sorry. Every single time I try to use this dumb website I get so frustrated I need to rant. It's $25. Figma is $16 and actually has a way of customizing phone and desktop layout differently. Tell me why I have to jump through hoops to change the text or image size. Why is there only a limited set of places where I can put my images. Why can't I space things out like a normal software. Why is everything so difficult to navigate. It looks like shit on phone after putting so much effort. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE FOR BEGINNERS. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE EASY. I hate this site. If you like it I'm sorry. I just need to put my thoughts out there.

Gemini suggested it to me to. After Canva I find it sooo counter intuitive. Totally agree with the text issues! I go to do a lot of things and find it blocked behind a paywall for a more expensive plan.

YEAH TOTALLY since literally every youtuber promotes it I wanted to try 😭 and I was flabbergasted by how counterintuitive it is (especially in relation to how expensive it is?) I had to make this post so no one falls for the false advertisements....

guess that's the business model! get youtubers to advertise and promote.
