Episode 126: Why I Design on Squarespace over Wix or Wordpress

June 23, 2025 • Lex Lancaster • Season 1 • Episode 126

In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly why I only work with Squarespace and have intentionally chosen not to design websites on Wix or WordPress. I dive into the tech, design, SEO, and client management reasons behind my decision, plus I share some behind-the-scenes business updates, a little Instagram content win, and a powerful quote that’s been sticking with me lately about life being both too short and too long to stay miserable. As always, I appreciate you being here and listening in!

Topics I cover:

Why I exclusively design on Squarespace (and not Wix or WordPress)
The importance of clients being able to manage their own sites easily
SEO advantages of Squarespace, including image geotagging and blog inserts
The tech frustrations with Wix and WordPress plugins
My perspective on client empowerment and website accessibility
Recent business updates: creating a new Instagram intro post
A quick update on SEO School and SEO Inner Circle
Client appreciation and balancing life + business
A quote from Sophia Bush that really hit home: "Life is too short to not go for it. Life is way too long to be miserable."
