I’ve been blogging since 2008 across several different platforms and here in 2017 I’m back where I started - Wordpress.

For about 5 years I’ve been a satisfied Squarespace user but over the last few months they have not catered for my needs so decided to leave.

Here’s why I left Squarespace

• Lack of attention on iOS apps; slow to update to the latest technologies of the latest iOS version and hardware (such as new screen resolutions)
• They cater to photography; a very heavy focus on promoting and providing templates to photographers, it's not a blogging friendly platform
• Integration; more integration options on Wordpress thanks to the development community
• Polished iOS blogging experience on Wordpress ; I prefer using the app than the site

So as a blogger focusing on text rather than images and is also iOS first I feel that Squarespace is leaving me behind. Wordpress fulfils all of my iOS and template needs as a text based blogger.

I’m feeling a little abandoned by Squarespace (as a blogger) at the moment. All of their new templates and focus seem to be on serving the business market rather than individual bloggers.

Their apps are also very slow to update, especially their blogging app.

That’s one of the reasons I’m writing this from an iPhone X with an updated Wordpress app.

I pay a good amount of money monthly to run my Squarespace site and not feeling I’m getting the value for money I think I deserve.
