  My thoughts on Squarespace:

  Pros
  -Pretty inclusive with site hosting, theme library, etc.
  -Pretty straightforward and easy to use and less intimidating admin dashboard than say wordpress
  -Requires less maintenance on your part in terms of updates, coding, etc.
  -You probably wont monkey with any code
  -Perfect for people with a little extra monthly budget, little to no time to do any custom coding or installs, or don't want to learn to code anything

  Cons
  -Can be inclusive to the point of being restrictive
  -Templates and themes are not easy to edit - as a matter of fact you need to apply for developer privileges to edit themes
  -Editing the templates has a learning curve, as it's all built around a proprietary templating system
  -Tied to monthly payments system

  I can't remember offhand if you have to used squarespace's hosting servers. I think you have to pay extra if you want to host your site on your own personal server, but I could be wrong about that. Either way it requires extra effort to do so.

  I'm not quite sure what your'e asking about BootJetKickstrap - do you just mean Bootstrap? It's kind of an apples-to-oranges comparison you're making here.
