Nowadays, if you want a page, you either make an account on facebook, squarespace, shopify, etc. Back then there was no such thing, so you needed to learn html and build your website yourself.

For the latter we switched to Squarespace years ago.

I looked at the price of squarespace for a year and decided to go that route with AI.

It's even more than my squarespace hosting and squarespace has a 12$ and 18$ tier.

If they want anything more complex, they can go to Squarespace or something with all the bells and whistles.

They sold off Google Domains to Squarespace a year or so ago which was irritating.

It's expensive but there are templates and it had a WYSIWYG editor.
Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: simplifying website creation
someone creates a platform to enable non-technical small business owners to do most of this without the cost hassle of dealing with experts and owning the website themselves. This gets you to somewhere like... Squarespace... But of course, such offerings aren't stable - they change, fail, or enshittify over time.

Their main business is selling a CMS and website builder that is supposed to be easy enough for complete noobs to use. They keep Squarespace in business.

They charge ridiculous fees that simply go to pay for more ads.

Squarespace, etc. are stupid expensive for most websites. $5 mo is the limit for a lot of businesses.

I have cancelled Squarespace because AI replaced it.

we still hire people to set up... Squarespace website. The barrier is still too high.

I think there are also nocode portfolio sites, or just a generic WYSIWYG like Wix or SquareSpace.

I build it originally because I was fed up with... Squarespace... because all of their interfaces are slow and don't work on mobile.

Any paid template from any of the big website building companies would be better than what you have at the moment. This is a Squarespace site.

things like squarespace and wix get super super good for building sites that don't feel like squarespace and wix, (I'm not sure I'd want to be a pure website dev right now - although I think squarespace squashed a lot of that long ago)

I was so frustrated with our Squarespace site that I ended up replacing it with a custom site I vibe-knocked out in less than a day.

If they did need a website, it seems Squarespace, Shopify, etc. provides a sufficient offering for them. Cheaper too.

I'm pretty sure those kinds of jobs don't exist anymore - they've all been outsourced to Wix or Squarespace.
