Downsides of Squarespace v WooCommerce

[McTaggart]

Hello Mozzers! I'm thinking of using either Squarespace or WooCommerce for an ecommerce website. WooCommerce is great - I've used it before... how flexible is Squarespace from an SEO perspective, compared to WooCommerce? Thanks in advance, Luke

Wordpress based will always be more flexible. I havent used SS for a year though. I've seen all their recent changes and how they've taken the right steps to better SEO but I would still lean on Wordpress/Magento. If you have a few products, then you might want to try out SS. If you have experience with Wordpress in the past, then jump on to that but be sure you have a fast server. If you have a LOT of products, go with magento

Many thanks for your response Dennis - you make a lot of sense - speed is so important and the SS sites I've browsed weren't doing particularly well on that side of things.
