MMatt Johnson

thanks. yeah, I found that. I wanted something from real people though

The potential client also want to be able to customize things herself, which she's able to do now on her squarespace site.

I'm wondering if there's any way to set up something that she can change things easily on a webflow site

So here's story

I had a project with a client who's familiar with square space and being biased towards webflow i made them switch.

In WF they are not used to it and found it very difficult to use compared to SS.

Sounds like that makes sense. Since she wants to be able to work in the backend squarespace might be the way to go.
