When you’re building a Squarespace website you’ll choose your site styles-it’s the paintbrush icon in the top right hand side of your edit screen. One of the choices along with Fonts you’ll see is Colour Palette. You’ll be able to choose the colours that are used on your website.

Creating an effective home page on Squarespace is essential for capturing visitors' attention and converting them into clients. Here are some best practices to ensure your home page is both attractive and functional:

I’ve been working on a new Squarespace template over the Christmas holiday period and today I’ve released it into the wild. It’s imaginatively named ‘Design 22’ and I’ve put it first on the list on the template page here. It’s a very contemporary design and would suit social media type business. You can see the full demo here.

Squarespace websites can do most things out of the box. You can change the colours, the fonts, the spacings, you can edit your images add amazing scheduling diaries, events, videos, full width banners. You can also embed external plugin type applications.

You may not want to show all your blogs or your complete list of products on a page, you may want to just show a the last four of your blogs or a single category of your products. Summary blocks are probably the most useful blocks you’ll use on a page.

n todays world we own our websites, we can add and edit our content and pay reasonable fees for all of it. Even very large businesses have Squarespace websites because they are tired of the way website designers behave.

It’s no longer the ‘wild west’ the way it way 6 or 7 years ago and we can now do everything ourselves with our websites.

You’ve built your Squarespace website from scratch and you’ve added your content. You’re struggling to get it finished, you don’t know if you’ve got the SEO settings done correctly, and you just want to get it out there.

So you’re looking to get a new website and after doing your research you’ve found that you can either have your website designed by a professional or you can get a design you like by using a template. There are advantages in both.

Squarespace websites started out as a template website platform in 2004. It was easy for anyone without any knowledge at all about website design to build their own website.

Have you ever received an email from a specialist SEO person who gives you a list of all the things they can do to optimise your website? We do too and it’s often a generic response to a post we’ve made about SEO on Squarespace websites!

We’ve been selling templates all year and increasingly we are beginning to think that that our users are looking for a design rather than a template. Templates tend to be a 7.0 term as although 7.1 gives you a choice of designs they are all variations on the Fluid engine bas design which can do pretty much anything.

You’ve built your Squarespace website from scratch and you’ve added your content. You’re struggling to get it finished, you don’t know if you’ve got the SEO settings done correctly, and you just want to get it out there. But there’s a but.
