   For what it’s worth, I think wordpress is cool, but if you want to put together a nice web site more easily, I recommend squarespace. You can check out my music site here — http://www.jeffshattuck.com — and see what squarespace site can look like!

   Thanks for the comment Jeff.

   I have looked over squarespace with another client – and several others but the number of great plug-ins and acceptance across the industry plus how effective their SEO is out of the gate and with the additional tools, I still prefer WordPress.

   However, more important than either, for the person putting up a site, are you putting relevant, meaningful content and providing a reason for people to come back. Coming soon: Mailing List.
