Guest Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I am admittedly new to Squarespace. But I want to start off with the right perspective. It seems to me there is a disconnect between "software development" and designer sites using a template like Squarespace. I develop web sites where terms like page load time, software maintenance, and scalability seem to be the topics of discussion. Everyone (developers) has an opinion on the best framework (like Angular) or library (like React) is best to build a web application with. So these web applications are easily maintained and very responsive but unless some work is put into the look and feel these sites "look" like they were developed by a developer. They don't have the same UX design put into them that the templates shown when putting together a site with Squarespace. A developer is very used to writing JavaScript handlers for various HTML events, but I am not familiar with a similar functionality for a site developed with Squarespce. Would someone be able to point me in the direction of coming at Squarespace from a developer's perspective? I see in "Getting Started" that one can clone the basic template. But how can I get hold of the "source" for a custom template that was modified with the Squarespace tools? Thank you for taking the time for this very basic beginner question. Link to comment

WsqWLsqt Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) Using templates is common today, but most companies want a unique site that no one else has. That's why you can't use a template. Also, when you create software, you need to adapt to the customer's individual needs. Recently, our company turned to exposit.com for help; these guys integrated computer vision into our work, so now we quickly get all the necessary statistics. Information is the most valuable resource, so the sooner you get the information, the better. Edited November 23, 2022 by WsqWLsqt Link to comment

Nowadays, many people are considering what to do with specific businesses, including hotels. I already know the answer you can discover in this situation. These professionals can be found at https://acropolium.com/industry/hospitality-software-solutions/ just for the creation of such hotel industry solutions, the creation of specialized software, and so forth. This, in my opinion, is more crucial than ever. I sincerely hope you were able to use it and benefit.

I'm new at this too, but I'm trying to improve all the time. Link to comment
