Thanks so much soloprenuer! This was so easy to follow..I've watched a lot of squarespace tutorials and yours was the best. Can you please do more videos. I just started using square space and I need a lot of help trying to navigating through it.
Hey Leandra! Absolutely!! Lots more tutorials to come :) I also have an online course you can come join (that teaches you everrrrrything) bit.ly/websitethatwows
Thank you. I'm starting my website today and this video was very helpful and helped alleviate my worries of how hard it'll be to make personal changes to the site..
I love this video, Louise! Such a great, simple overview. I have a few clients who are exploring Squarespace for their new websites, so it's nice to have a great resource to send them to. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Maggie!! For sure, I can even help your clients build their website in just 1 day. It's my "One Day Website" service >> www.solopreneursidekick.com/onedaywebsite
Nice clear video. I make a new page and it's greyed out. I open and enable it and save it and it's still greyed out. Clicking back to this new page I see it 'dis-enabled' itself. This happens over and over. Is there a way to enable a page, un-grey it and link to it? There must be. Thank you.
Valuable video. Just found you from Tim and Fin (Found about 10 days ago and followed them around the world). You don't seem to be using a Mac laptop. So, does Squarespace work automatically with a Mac? Yes, yes, I'll try myself and will find out. Just a suggestion for future videos. Good chance I'll be a soon, future customer.
Hey!! Just responded over on their channel but wanted to post again here just in case someone else is wondering the same thing. I use a Mac for everything. I should clarify in future videos though cause sometimes I do get in trouble for neglecting my PC peeps haha. I just haven't had one in so long! Let me know if you have any other questions :) What will you be creating a website for Frederick?
The yellow/gold/orange icon in the top right means you need to update ASAP. It pops up if there is a major update or if there is an important security update. Please make sure you update so you don't bring harm to your computer, and potentially to other people's computers connected on the same network.
Once you build the site how hard is it to integrate Squarespace to accept credit cards? Also how difficult is it to get support. I have had little luck? Thank you
Hey Louise! I'm a writer and complete website novice looking to build something so that I can upload a portfolio and showreel. I have a specific idea in mind: the first page of the website would be an image of my desk, with various objects sitting on it. A visitor would be able to click on an object, for example a journal, and it would take them to my 'About Me' page. If they click a manuscript, it would take them to a page about my novel; if they click a stack of scripts it would take them to my film and TV portfolio etc. Would this be possible (and easy) to achieve? Keep up the good work!
Terry - such a great idea!!! Love it. I have an idea of how we could do that. If you'd like, come join me inside my course and I can demo it for you! (tech support is included with the course) You can try it first free here: www.solopreneursidekick.com/join
Just found your amazing channel while browsing "how to use squarespace" Great video btw easy to follow and understand i do have a few questions regarding squarespace. Can i use squarespace as a blog space only ? or is it only for business? I mean i do want to make money as a blogger but im still trying to figure out in what direction to go in...well i hope i didnt confuse you :) too much , hope to hear from you thank you :)
Yes, you can use Squarespace for your blog, it's quite good. However, if you really want to make more money off Google adsense and affiliate deals, you gotta use WordPress. It's the go-to platform for bloggers. You can easily get ranked well on Google if you use WordPress. Trust me when I say this, I am web designer and I have a vast experience in it. Shoot me a message on Instagram so we can talk more: man_like_murphy_
Have you created any video on how to add ad codes on Squarespace websites so that the ads would show up exactly where you want them? Also, while I find Header and Footer ad code injection windows, I can't find any space where Body ad codes could be inserted; there are many other issues with appropriate placement--margins, etc., that I have been facing. It is unfortunate that hardly any material exists illustrating this, and Squarespace does not help you in this--and their own videos on this topic are quite useless. I have the ad codes prepared by the company, but it is their placement that is a challenge that I have been facing for months.
Can you do a 2 sided page with SS? I mean like 1 front Page but 2 versions of it?.... For example; a front page with 2 options to view? and if so.... how?
I am kind of stuck between the york or brine familys. Could you explain the project pages and animation features that york has? or what the difference between them is other than parallax?
You're welcome! I'll have to do a video on this topic! My channel is geared towards solopreneurs who are DIYing their online presence so for this reason I recommend Squarespace. It's easier to use & less complicated from a tech perspective. For most small businesses, it's a fantastic solution. If you need something super complex, you might need to use Wordpress, but I would recommend hiring a developer to help you :)

Can you do a tutorial about a free website builder like Zyro?
Once you build the site how hard is it to integrate Squarespace to accept credit cards? Also how difficult is it to get support. I have had little luck? Thank you
Excellent tutorial ! Thank you. Best I've seen yet for getting started. Very helpful.

How would I be able to allow people to post/advertise things on my page?
I have been using Wordpress for so long, but have heard great things about Square Space from friends.
That's good!! It's a really great platform + much easier for beginners :)
Super easy to follow. Great job! :)
Thank you! Appreciate that :) Now I just need to update for 2019!

All these sites are so expensive for me since I’m only 17 and looking to sell my photo prints...
Hey Nate! Yeah, once you start selling products, there are higher fees. What about something like society6 for you?
Solo, Can u expound a bit on the rising fees if your business becomes successful?
That was nice
apollos roberts thank you!! ❤️
ThX very much, Awesome.
You're very welcome!
Squarespace is the worst service company I have ever seen. Completely incompetent.
I was told to go with square space from go daddy.. Needed to ask some questions and never got any support. Going on 6 emails with a default responce.
No phone number.
