WordPress is awesome also. And it's my top choice for businesses that are generating revenue. But WordPress websites require more attention in the form of updates and other tweaks and customizations.
SquareSpace websites cost the monthly fee, that's it.
WordPress websites often cost you more. In the form of money you pay developers or in the form of time you spend trying to tweak things.
I would recommend WordPress for small business. Because I saw someone suggesting Squarespace, thus I am sharing a comparison of WordPress with two other popular CMS, Squarespace and Wix to help you choose what suits you best.
WordPress is a more convenient platform, compared to Wix and Squarespace. Here are the reasons why:
WordPress can be used by any individual or business, irrespective of its size. On the other hand, Wix is fit for only small businesses and side projects and Squarespace is best for design-oriented sites.
WordPress is limitless in terms of designs. There are hundreds of themes and plugins in WordPress which can totally be modified and controlled by you. On the other hand, Wix and Squarespace do not come with so many varieties.
While you can still start blogging on Wix for free, SquareSpace boasts of a high price tag. WordPress is undoubtedly the cheapest and most dynamic blogging platform among the three.
WordPress is an ideal choice for SEO as it comes with additional features like Yoast which only enhance its performance when added to the content management system. On the other hand, Wix only suggests two Google plugins along with a few of their own apps. Furthermore, Squarespace provides standard SEO services to cover features like page titles, clean HTML markup, and automatic redirects.
Today small business prefer more Wix,Exai and SquareSpace than Open Source CMS.
Why?
Because are more stable and secure,in this point Exai have good advantages,Wix is better for individual work as business but is not flexible and not giving you ability to get out from plat
Judging a business by its cover…
First,
you should try with blogger or wordpress (free).
Then after 1 year you can go with paid. I mean you should buy a domain & hosting package. That's it!
Thanks

You should choose Wordpress because:
1. Lots of Plugin and Themes for free. If there is a fee, the price is quite cheap.
2. Easy to use with beginners.
3. Number one for advanced features for SEO. Website thus makes it easier to top up than other sources.
