Squarespace vs Weebly

Squarespace and Weebly aim at very different buyers. Squarespace is a premium design platform for brands that care how they look. Weebly, now part of Square, is a budget friendly builder that pairs well with Square point of sale for simple stores. The gap in polish is wide, and so is the gap in price.
