The Beginners Guide to Squarespace

Squarespace is a powerful platform that allows individuals and businesses to easily create professional-looking websites.

As a long-time user of Squarespace, I can confidently say that it is the best website builder on the market. Over the past eight years, I have used Squarespace to create over 300 websites for many clients, including manufacturing and engineering companies, cafes and restaurants, and more.

How you can use the Squarespace fluid engine to save time and money!

One of the things that I appreciate most about Squarespace is its ability to strike a balance between scalability and ease of use. While the platform offers a range of powerful features and tools, it is also user-friendly enough that even beginners can create professional-looking websites with little to no technical expertise. This makes Squarespace an ideal choice for businesses of all sizes and industries, especially start-ups and micro businesses that we often work with.

I have tried other competing platforms like Wix and WordPress, but I always find myself drawn back to Squarespace due to its user-friendly interface and powerful features. Additionally, the excellent customer support and comprehensive resources offered by Squarespace make it easy for me to get the help and guidance I need to succeed.

Squarespace in 2022 and beyond

This year has been an exciting one for Squarespace users, with a catalogue of tweaks and upgrades to version 7.1. One of the most notable updates is the new fluid engine, which provides users with more control over the design of their websites. The fluid engine allows users to create custom page templates, as well as create and edit page sections in rapid time. This is a major improvement for users who want more control over the design and layout of their websites, without spending double the time and effort.

Another highly requested feature that has been added to Squarespace is the file manager. This tool makes it easy for users to manage their media files, including images, videos, and audio files. Users can easily upload, organize, and delete files from their file manager, which makes it easier to keep their websites organized and efficient.

In addition to these major updates, Squarespace has also made many quality-of-life improvements to the platform. A PixelHaze favourite is the new ability to add a page section as a, well, favourite! This allows the section to be used as a template and duplicated on other pages, saving our team countless hours. We are certainly hoping that an upgrade enabling us to transfer templates to different Squarespace websites is in the pipeline.

The updates to Squarespace in version 7.1 make it an even more powerful and user-friendly platform. If you are new to Squarespace or have been considering using the platform, now is the perfect time to get started. With the addition of the fluid engine, file manager, and other quality-of-life improvements, Squarespace is well-positioned to help users create professional-looking websites that meet their needs and goals.

So, 2023 is the best year to get to grips with the platform now it has really found it's feet.
