[@suckout5582]

You are the most generous and helpful person with Squarespace knowledge I have ever come across. If all goes to plan I should hopefully find my first client to design a website for within this month, quite literally changing my life completely. If it works out id have to personally write to thank you for the help but until then, wish me luck finding first client

[@meetdavidalex]

THIS COMMENT IS SO KIND!!! Wow, appreciate it 10000x over

[@cerealis_5432]

congrats! i hope youve been able to scale your business exponentially since writing this post. Were there any other channels, courses or other resources you used to learn these skills?

[@brandiebarnett7804]

Question on step 2: You told us the pages to put for our page. Can we use those same pages when building someone's site?

[@SamLeongtave]

💯 watched to the end. About to start the 1st website. And it’s a paying client so I’m nervous as hell. Excited too. Not used squarespace before, as traditionally a professional print graphic designer with 20+ years experience. Love the realism, the practical details and no marketing BS. I know I’m going to get stuck on “Learning to say no”…any tips on that?

[@alexpresley9901]

I made a couple of sites for friends and family within the last couple of months. Excited to do more. All the way to end!

engaging content like this, watched 'All The Way' till the end of course! I've been thinking about becoming a web designer and one question I've never really found an answer to is, where or how, do designers host their live designs? For example, the LIVE samples we see on platforms like Envato or Themeforest, I'm assuming each of these sites has their own domain?

[@meetdavidalex]

Hey! Thanks for the kind comment… If you have live website, you can just use the URL or the built-in url and You are good to go.

@@meetdavidalex Ok, I'm going to join the community and likely with the "Designer Pro/All Access" package.

QUESTION: should I finish watching all your videos in your "Become a Web Designer on Squarespace" playlist first to get a better feel for things? Or should I just start with the package and the designer-kit that's included?

I wish I knew where to find ideas for websites. I made my first website and I know no one else who needs one, nd creating sites from imagination simply doesn't work for me. I need real tasks but have no idea how to get those without any experience or portfolio. I think I got stuck.

Find a squarespace site you love (less than 5 pages) and recreate it! With it's own cotent (colors, fonts, text, and photos). Find a consultant website, a therapist website, and that should be great!

Great question, Michael, the situation depends on how you want to operate your business. Personally, I never buy domains for the client, ever. But, some people like to provide hosting services for their clients and charging a monthly service for it.
