The elegance, without the walls.

- One template per site, hard to change your mind later
- Per-site pricing with no build-free option
- Accessibility left largely to the template

- Swap section designs anytime, never boxed in
- Build free, pay only when you publish
- WCAG-AA accessibility built into every section
The real difference
Squarespace is elegant but rigid. Promino is elegant and flexible.
Squarespace templates look wonderful out of the box, but they hold their shape. The moment your idea does not fit the template, you hit a wall - customization options run out, and switching templates means rebuilding.
Promino gives you the same considered design in a library of sections you can rearrange and restyle whenever you like. The polish stays, the walls go, and every section is accessible by default. See what that looks like.
