SquareSpace: Delivering on a Bold Mission

SquareSpace hosts this website.  Anthony Casalena is the founder of SquareSpace and one of my heroes.  He's quite the man.  I aspire to build something he is willing to use.

SquareSpace launched a new website and I just had to share the following excerpt from their About Page.  No doubt Anthony & co. handcrafted and argued their way to the following elegant and bold prose:

Software for perfectionists. Created in 2003 and located in lower Manhattan.
Squarespace powers web experiences for over 20 million individuals each month.

Squarespace, Inc. is a privately held publishing software company based in the Soho district of lower Manhattan.

In 2003, after being unable to find a way to elegantly publish his personal website, Anthony Casalena began work on the software that is now the Squarespace Platform. Since its inception, Squarespace has blossomed into a product that powers tens of thousands of sophisticated websites for businesses, bloggers, and professionals worldwide. Squarespace has been mentioned in both the Wall Street Journal and BusinessWeek, as well as on countless other blogs and news sites. Our small team consists of solely bio-worthy names, and due to our entirely organic revenue growth, we operate free from the restrictions and obligations of organizations controlled by outside investors.

Squarespace is defined by our insistence on software that provides an unparalleled user experience from a robust core. Every pixel of Squarespace’s software is engineered and animated to be flawless. Squarespace was conceived to be — and will remain — a departure from the sea of free products and thoughtless services that pollute today’s web marketplace.
