Why SquareSpace Rocks!

Why SquareSpace Rocks!

I am not a techy.  I am mechanical engineer with a background in material science and its applications in the biotech industry.  My first company Mitos had nothing to do with the Internet.  We were a manufacturing company the build disposable systems for biotech companies.  I say this because since co-founding DreamIt Ventures people assume I am a software engineer.

The truth is this, I understand web and mobile applications well, but have not written a line of code since 9th grade when it was C+.  I provide this background so that you can understand why I am so amazed with SquareSpace.

A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine put together a site for my new book, We are all Born Entrepreneurs, which is getting ready to release.  When I asked him to make some changes I could tell he was busy, and since I knew he put the site together in SquareSpace and I heard all the rave, I decided to try to make the changes myself. 

SquareSpace Rocks! I watched a 15 minutes video and I truly understand the base framework.  Over the last two hours I have revamped the site entirely.  SquareSpace has truly opened up the market for ordinary people to make very functional website that go beyond a static page.   Widgets are easy to tie in, form and data capture can be included with ease.  The value proposition is awesome.

I hope my friend will not be offended that I changed around his work.
