Thank you!

I'm officially in love with Squarespace. Thank you! I have used 3stepsolutions, Wix, Weebly, Kajabi and Systeme, now considering to upgrade my third brand to some more SEO-empowered features. You just solved all of my concerns regarding the editor. Now to fix the side bar thing (I don't think your "DIY" solution is right for me since I want to add a script optin) and I should be good to go!

Hi Paige I’m wondering if it’s ok to change the function of a commerce siteand make it more a portfolio site.. would it be bad idea to remove the shop and do that with the overall design?

[@user-hy3pw9op8m]

Hi Paige, Has Squarespace ever changed the website to allow tags and subjects to be listed in a sidebar section of a website? In the past, I have tried to do this, but Squarespace would not permit it. Thanks for your information. Kevin

[@saraswatimishwalker6864]

Hi Paige, My question is if you pick a website template that doesn’t have a shopping cart can you add it ? I want to build a shop but I’m struggling finding the right template. Thanks for your videos 😊

[@PaigeBrunton]

Yep, you can add a e-commerce functionality and a shopping cart to any Squarespace template, so don't worry, you're not limited to only certain templates!

[@cycle9241]

Hi Paige. Q: how do you add color to the lines? I can't seem to find a way to do this...thanks. 👍

[@PaigeBrunton]

Hey Shawn! Fabulous question! While editing a page, you'll need to open site styles, then click Colors. Hover over the selected color theme and click the pencil icon and then edit the color in there (either choose one from your palette or any other you like!) Just note that it'll change all line colors for that section theme across your site! Cheers!!

[@cycle9241]

@@PaigeBrunton Thank you. I'll give it a try!

[@noteandworth]

Hey Paige, what was your original designed in out of interest?

[@PaigeBrunton]

Heey! Also Squarespace! Realized in doing a beautiful edit I cropped off the tabs 🤣 Could have been on any number of website platforms though - Squarespace is becoming more and more versatile & you can do more and more incredible designs on the platform!

[@callanprice1613]

Hi Paige, I've designed websites on Squarespace before for myself and I'm thinking of charging some of my clients to build simple sites. Do you think I need coding experience? Thanks! Love your content!

[@PaigeBrunton]

Callan! So excited to hear that!!! And to your question about coding... absolutely not! Yup a bit of CSS here n there might help you out doing things that can't be done natively, but I'm firmly in the no-code-needed camp when it comes to designing on Squarespace! Especially now we have the new fluid engine editor - there's so much you can do without the need for any CSS! Annnddd... if you're thinking about jumping into designing sites - I've gotta free live training coming up that would be just the thing for ya - check it out here: www.pbcourses.com/training

@@callanprice1613 awesome! Feel free to send me an email [e-mail] if you have questions - I or my lovely team will be so happy to answer them for you!!

[@MirabelJ]

What about "mobile first" design? How would this design look on mobile? Thanks.

[@PaigeBrunton]

Fabulous question! With the new fluid engine editor in Squarespace it's wonderful as we have much more control over mobile styling - we can tweak and reorder content in there so it looks beautiful on both devices (you can also design on mobile first, and then tweak for desktop if you prefer - although I recommend the other way round)! I have a video coming out in a coupla weeks that's a more in-depth tutorial on building a site on Squarespace, where I hop in and rejig things on mobile - so make sure to keep an eye out for that one!!

[@MirabelJ]

Looking forward to it, thanks!
