I spent about ten minutes walking through some of the features of the Squarespace service which I'm trying out. Squarespace allows users who are reasonably comfortable with the web, but aren't programmers, to build unique and feature rich websites. Squarespace's competitors are services like WordPress.com and Ning.com that let you get started building a site very quickly. While Ning and WordPress start out free, Squarespace starts at $8 a month. I don't consider that a bad thing. Paid services usually translate into more security, better performance and much less risk that the company will make some silly change to its features in the name of revenue.
