In a 'drag and drop' world....
In a 'drag and drop' world of website design, providers like Squarespace and Wix provide the ultimate in creativity and ease. Subsplash gets a 3 in the day-to-day design options that are more than a bit archaic. In the church world, for an all-in-one solution with mobile app integration, it gets a 5. Incorporating an intuitive events calendar with ticketing and payments saves a ton of external accounts to handle all of these subtasks and integration worries. The media library is smart, and URL redirects are simple, among things we use every day. Account success managers have been top-notch and do everything they can to make sure your voice and concerns are heard and provide timely feedback and solutions. Major frustrations are that there is no auto save, command z, extremely limited and bland text options, the use of 'spacers' vs drag/drop, picture sizing and manipulation is awkward at best, and finally the site/tablet/mobile editor is atrocious. If you're a church, you will learn to deal with the inadequacies and find a medium you can live with in editing that will make it your go-to solution. If you manage other sites on other platforms, as mentioned earlier in this post, you will curse the lack of freedom, the added time to complete tasks, and, at times, the less-than-desired results due to platform capabilities.
