Where Kennel Press differs

Kennel Press already knows what a dog, a litter and a pedigree are. You fill in fields, and the profile, litter and pedigree pages lay themselves out.
Marking a puppy reserved is one change from your phone, and every page that shows that puppy updates.
Kennel Press includes page titles, descriptions, structured data and a sitemap on every plan, Free included.
Kennel Press is narrower on purpose: no online store, no bookings and no custom code. It is a breeder website and nothing else.

Where Squarespace may be a better fit

You want to sell products, take appointments or run a paid newsletter from the same site.
You enjoy designing pages yourself and want full control of every layout.
Your site is mostly about something other than your dogs, such as training or grooming services.
