No need to be a pro to build your dream website.

What are the best aspects of this product?

Countless platforms specialize in building websites, and all of them have their attributes. One of the reasons why Square stands out from its competitors is its straightforward features that cater to everyone. Keep in mind that not everyone is knowledgeable when it comes to coding and building websites. To some, its a form of jargon that they could not overcome. With Square, you can create a website on your own or with minimal supervision. It is so user-friendly that it allows you to drag and drop certain things into your webpage. Square is capable of customizing your website to make it look more presentable and professional in the eyes of your customers. Before building my website, I took some time to play around and explore Square, and I discovered that it comes with a handful of templates that I can choose from. I can change the templates whenever I feel like updating my website, which I do every 2-3 months to give my customers a more improved shopping experience. I haven't heard of any platform that can do this, so I decided to stick to Square for good. If you lack or have no experience in building a website, I strongly suggest that you should try using the free version for at least a week or two. However, since the app is free, you should manage your expectations as it comes with limited features and templates. Use it for the meantime to jumpstart your website and familiarize yourself with the platform. Once you start getting more traffic, then shift into a paid subscription so you can incorporate more ideas and make the most out of your business investment. Paid plans are worth the price, so do not be scared to shell out some money because, at the end of the day, it will all be worth it.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

One of the selling points of the Square app is its drag and drop functionality. Although this feature is quite useful, I still wish that I can add, delete, or modify certain things that are found on the website. I sent my suggestion to Square, and they told me that they would look into that. Default background themes are essential in building a site, but it would be better if they can come up with a feature that allows us, users, to change background page colors to suit the products that we are selling online.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

Square is a flexible app that allows each user to integrate third-party applications to ensure that your site stands out. Before using Square, I thought that building a website is so complicated and tedious. I realized that there is an app that offers ready-made templates and background themes to choose from. Making changes into the shopping page comes with certain restrictions. On the positive side, its rates are pretty much affordable, which is specially made for first-time entrepreneurs.
