      I love hearing from people like you who have lived life longer than me because you all have experiences and have learned things I'd never think of and Could possibly make misstakes in.

      @@amritsingh6987 I guess one big principle is that life is "value for value". By that I mean that if you want something (money, wife, status, children, good job, etc.) you must give something of roughly equal value in exchange for what you get. There are no free lunches. Decide on what you want... then you must give value / take action.... then you will get / receive the thing.
      I'm not sure I explained it very well. But the general idea is that if I want something like money... I must provide value in exchange for that money.... I must make sure that I "give" and "get"....

    Thank you, Mike, for providing such an informative video. As a designer embarking on starting my own business, I'm so glad to come across your video prior to launching my website. Your demonstration of Squarespace covered everything I needed to know. To be honest, Squarespace exceeded my expectations. I'm relieved to discover that creating a website is not as challenging as I anticipated. I'm feeling pumped and ready to give it a shot. A big THANK YOU!

    I’d be very interested in a video about selling on Squarespace. I looked through your channel’s videos and found one on e-commerce from a couple years ago, but it seemed like you mentioned in this video to leave a comment if we’d be interested in learning more on selling rather than referring back to the e-commerce video you had already done. Thank you. I’m in the process of building a site and this was very helpful information.

    Hi Mike,
    It was an amazing watch! I think Squarespace is one of the least explored platforms online. I have suggested it to some friends who are just getting online, and I think this video will be the perfect guide for them. It really was a great share, and I am sure many people will love it. I think it’s very beginner-friendly, and will help a lot of viewers. I will definitely share within my network and anyone who is getting started with Squarespace.

    I need to know what kind of benefits the calendar can give if I am traveling to the locations that people book. For example, does it map it for me so that the client can tell if with travel time I can get to their location in time for the time they need. Can client book directly on the calendar? Does the site allow me to send a text or email reminder of the event automatically, etc.

Most if not all membership websites have TOS in among their disclaimers. How do you add such information? Can you archive web content in Squarespace? Thank so much for sharing your thoughts.

    Question: I am having trouble with the font size on Squarespace. I adjust it to the size I want on the desktop view and it changes the size on the mobile view. The font sizes are either too small for the desktop view or enormously large for the mobile view. The only thing I can find is changing the header size. Is this a glitch? Or how do I fix this problem?

We also want to publish our community center calendar so potential clients can look and see when our center is available to rent. We rent it for community events like birthdays ect…..
    If we created a website through Squarespace , what would be your recommendation for a calendar where folks could see the availability and maybe in the future, write their name in for a specific date………

    I already have a domain name and email account I bought from godaddy. I have decided based on not knowing much to go with square space. Can I use what I have or do I have to buy all over again. Thanks

      You don’t have to transfer your domain. I’d look into Wordpress and other hosting options. Squarespace has no customer support.

    Mike, does SS have an App? And do you offer a video for that?
