My first Squarespace Site

[Owen]

I just started my first attempt at creating a Squarespace site and I've got to say, I really like it. I love the layout builder and how easy it is to customize color pallets, text sizes, etc. It's also really easy to inject custom CSS / JS code wherever you want, so it's simple when you want it to be but allows more advanced customization when you need it as well. 

 

The site I'm currently working on is for my new game I'm working on, called BulletBob. I won't get into details about it here, but if you're interested in it there's already a little bit of information on the site (you can also join the Alpha if you want too, everything should be working regarding that now).

 

Project BulletBob: http://projectbb.squarespace.com (as I'm still using a trial account, you'll need to click "visitor access" and enter in a captcha to enter)

 

Anyway, I was wondering what you guys think of Squarespace and if you use it for any of your personal stuff as well? I personally find it way more intuitive and functional than other website builders, and I'm probably going to purchase a plan if I don't win one from Linus, lol. 

 

Edit: Apparently trial accounts aren't visible to the public at all... oh well the poll still stands.

Brutal honesty incoming, the game doesn't look like something I'd play, ever, there's a billion and 76 indie games and the simpler they are the less appealing.

 

Just my harsh shitty 2 pennies but that's my opinion just being real.

Aw, really? I tried testing it out myself by logging out and then it just asked me to do some captcha..darn

It does have its uses, still believe it's not a complete replacement for a decent webdev, but if you needed to crank out a site really fast from scratch i can think of nothing better

It's OK it let me in after doing the code.

Nice, and the 'coded by a 16 year old' part is only temporary, thought it would be funny to have there for a while.

Totally understandable haha, to be completely honest I'm just taking a head start at what my computer science final is probably going to be next year - making a Java game . Thought I might as well try to make it the best game I can, but I'm no professional game developer by any means and it's more of a learning project than anything

Sure man, I couldn't code a stick man so you're a better designer than I'll ever be.

@LinusTech would probably like it, to see a sponsor have succes like this.

it's okay i guess, once you fill it up with neccesary items , until then it's just an empty square space..
