Feature #1: A.I-Assisted Drag-and-Drop Editor
The top 3 reasons an AI-assisted drag-and-drop editor benefits Squarespace:
Ease of use: A drag-and-drop editor is already popular, so adding AI would make building a website even more straightforward. The AI could assist with tasks like suggesting design elements, recommending layout options, and automating certain back-end tasks.
Time-saving: An AI-assisted drag-and-drop editor could save time by automating certain tasks and streamlining the website-building process. The AI would help build the website based on information from the user.

This would improve user experience, allow for enhanced customization, and save time on the website build and design. It’s a win-win situation.
Feature #2: StickIt'snus
Sticky Menus stay at the top of the screen as the user scrolls.
This makes it easy to access the navigation menu without having to scroll back to the top of the page.
You may have seen a ‘Back to Top’ widget on some websites serving the same purpose.
Honestly, either integration of this feature works fine.
Stick menus improve the user experience because it allows users to navigate quickly around the website without scrolling through entire pages.
Sticky Menus would greatly improve Squarespace's usability, navigation, and overall user experience.

Improve user experience: this would help users better understand how to use and take advantage of many Squarespace features. Even first-time users can feel confident when building their websites.
Increase user loyalty: What better way for Squarespace to grow a connection between their users and the platform than to invest in the user’s success? Users like you and I are moruser'sly to continue using a platform with helpful resources and support.
Reduced Frustration: We’ve all been there. Something on the site isn’t working how it should, and it’s the middle of the night. An interactive learning center would provide the tools and resources to troubleshoot minor problems without contacting support.
As a long-time user of Squarespace, I would be much more dedicated to the platform if they had the resources to help me grow as a designer.
