How to do Square - like site development with versioning?

Question

Our designer loves squarespace, because he can just build the site in their authoring engine.

We like that Square makes the site properly responsive for mobile/tablet use.

We are happy our designer is happy... but normally we use raw css / html, kept in a version control system.

Square does not appear to support versioning.

Is there a tool chain that gives us the designer-friendliness of square, with the versioning (and poss self hosting) we want from an ops perspective?

Right at the bottom of the features page you will find:

So you can use git to version and manage your code, for offline/local self-hosting you will have to contact the sales team.

Interesting, thanks! We asked their support this question a number of times and did not find this feature area to be actually useful in real life. Let me look into it further.

@samsmith Mention to their support line that if there is not full git integration that lets you "work with a team and roll back changes easily" then ask how many of their customers reside or trade in countries with legislation regarding false representation - you will either find the support team quickly putting you in touch with someone who knows what they are talking about or that section disappearing from the website.

help.squarespace.com/guides/squarespace-developer-platform-faq may be a good starting point for more information. So is developers.squarespace.com/initial-setup
