// EDITOR'S TAKE
WordPress remains the closest replacement for what most Squarespace sites really are, a template, a block editor, a CMS and ecommerce through plugins, provided you accept that hosting, updates and security become your responsibility. Ghost is cleaner for a publication or newsletter site, while WebStudio is the pick if you want to design the layout yourself rather than adapt someone else's template.
