[ale] squarespace?

[Tim Watts]

Anyone have any real world experience building/managing websites using
squarespace.com?  I'm interested in such aspects as:

      * Performance (speed, scalability)
      * Security (target site is primarily 'public informational' for a
        non-profit; no ecomm immediately planned)
      * Flexibility (design, features, maintenance, low-level
        customization)
      * Ease of use (i.e. maintenance by very non-technical users)
      * Business practices (client support, integrity etc.)
      * Is there a better alternative you would recommend or consider?

I've done some exploring of features on the site and pretty much came
away thinking "OMG, why /wouldn't/ we use this!" -- which is pretty much
the effect it's designed to have.  Just want to see how well that
correlates to the real world.  

I have a back-burner concern of getting tightly bound to their platform
then discovering we can't do something critical (w/o big-$$$) and/or
can't get off if we had to.  But life in the non-profit lane does limit
your choices sometimes.

Would appreciate any 1st hand experiences, good and bad.

Thanks in advance.
