I love your video infact i have gone through them like so much for me to understand cause am a begginer and I have been doing lots of research and I tried to just build a website using WordPress and. Squarespace but for some reason I get stuck on the way and I don't quite understand how to buy Domaine while in the site please I don't how your going to help me but I need your help am feeling disappointed

[@eac26114653]

I'm a 53 year old male accountant who grew up when computers were just coming out. I know how to use the basic office programs and surf the net. But I never knew you could make a website so easily. Good video for a middle-aged person like me. Thanks.

[@ElaraArale]

that is so good, good job!

[@amritsingh6987]

Can you Give me some life advice sir? I'm 18 Years old and blind. 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. Weather it be in money or just life!

[@eac26114653]

@@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"....

Slow down the play back speed

[@alexandrasimonemeow]

frig THANK YOU. I was an html nerd growing up, but haven't been involved online or with computers for a few years so I was like "everyone says squarespace is so easy you don't need html" so I just signed myself up for a website, skipped all of the tutorials because I assumed it would be pretty straight forward, and I was met with so much frustration that i wanted to cry. I have noooo patience for a long tutorial, but one thing i know about myself is that I NEVER REGRET watching one... And yours was perfect! I was able to put it on 1.5x speed (that's a me thing.. you spoke great) and i learned all of the things that were getting in my way. I appreciate you

[@alexandrasimonemeow]

oh wait... i forgot the main issue was how buggy it is... half of the things you taught either give the spinny wheel of death or say "something went wrong"... i spent waaaay too much money for this many bugs

[@janebethel1977]

Yes please, I would really appreciate you doing an Ecomerce video if you could. Your videos are so easy to follow and very helpful. Thank you.

[@JessicaGainesJarboe]

Thank you!!!! I went from feeling overhwlemed and wanting to cry... to... this looks pretty good and is actually super easy and awesome to build once you get the hang of it!.. All thanks to this video!!

[@jojodong6156]

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!

[@chrissimao14]

Glad to see squarespace adopted the Grid interface similar to Zyro. All website builders need to adopt this.

[@iordancristi]

Please do "Selling on squarespace" with tax calculator included and redirecting page to another web-site where you need to complete an formular to buy an product!

[@Razorcrew_Cole]

Did you do it all all? I need to know how to see I have no idea how

[@brentmiller3250]

I'm moving from Squarespace 7.0 to 7.1, and found this video most helpful. Thanks for your time!

[@tmangino22]

Very packed full of clear useful linear information. Like others it can be a daunting task to start. Let the Journey begin. Thanks Mike

[@jeffreycanfora1091]

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.

[@karenandriancontainergardening]

Dude, this was a great video. Helped me figure out how to set up my website without paying someone to d it for me. I save your video to watch and re-watched it again to improve my site. Thanks

[@Fairygelic]

Thanks for making this simple and easy to understand! I’m trying to start a squarespace templates business (where I sell premade squarespace templates) and I was really excited to get started until I saw all the customization options and what have you. It was very overwhelming but this video makes it looks easy, thanks!

[@sufian2k6]

Amazing video thank you! I'm about to redesign my website (it's nearly 8 years old!) and was thinking of wordpress, but your video just changed my mind. Square Space looks so much better to work on!

[@peterolugbemi9362]

Squarespace is definitely an amazing builder that offers more control and better customization over your website. What's your experience working with it, and are you stuck at any point?

[@walkerskyler4438]

Do you need help with Redesigning your SquareSpace store?

[@susan3156]

Thank you so much. You saved me! I need to build a website asap without paying for it and was really struggling but after following along with you, it’s almost done 😊

[@ochirdaridorjsuren6155]

Exactly what I was looking for, specifically the Getting a Domain and Publishing. THANK YOU!!

[@silvertreehouse]

To see what would look like on different sized monitors, pop the tab out and change its size by using the corners! Works amazing.

[@kacperabuda3684]

Great video! I'm a Sound Designer and I want to create a website to just have a quick link to my portfolio for future clients and I would also like to start selling sound packs and Your video helped me tremendously with navigating the whole process of building that, thanks!

[@specialpeds]

Thank you for being so transparent. I'm not computer savvy AT ALL. You help make it easier for me to navigate through website💙

[@graceextra3595]

I keep watching this brilliant video for reference. Thank you Mike

[@SantrelMedia]

Very welcome

[@ice9594]

I built a site using GoD-- a few years ago. But their tools are limited for creating a blog. I did research & decided to use SquareSpace for my new site. Thanks for this helpful tutorial! Your time stamps are a great quick reference tool. 👍🏼

[@walkerskyler4438]

Do you need help with Redesigning your SquareSpace store?

[@michelleread3825]

Hi Mike, thanks for the video. This is the absolute beginner start of my Squarespace and website journey. I''m an artist looking to set up a portfolio site. The big take-away for me was to work with the design first before changing and loading your own content. I also now know what SEO means!

[@JeramieSaito]

I finished the entire video. Never skipped a second. Good tutorial. Do you have a WordPress tutorial too? I plan to start blogging.

[@DG-fe8ep]

This was so helpful in building my very own yoga website and doing that for the first time! Thanks so much for this amazing content which was perfect to just listen and directly working through it as you were explaining. Great work!

[@harnoorkaur8204]

Where did u buy the domain from?

[@johnravi1683]

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.

[@Sentieantbeing]

And that’s a good thing

[@bridgewatercontract1]

Thanks Mike. What a lot of info. First time I ever slowed play back speed.

[@RobynDabney]

This is fantastic. Thanks for posting and sharing!

[@rachellesmith3681]

Love your videos, very easy to follow and well explained. Thank you! I would appreciate an e-commerce one with all the ins and outs of setting up shop in Squarespace! :)

[@CharlieFox-ti8sy]

[@tyshawnparries5957]

Thank you so much for making a video like this or beginner like me😅. I’m going to start re-watching the video go through step-by-step right now while making my own website for flipping and selling furniture. Hope you have another radio or something like that where I can DIY flipping a furniture and selling it online to give me some ideas on how to start and make it better as I go

[@victoriarawlinson1546]

This video is so very helpful. Thank you

[@WHEELSRT7]

YES AN ECOMMERCE VIDEO PLEASE!!!

[@ringlerstudios]

Very helpful for breaking through the fear of creating a website. Squarespace looks even easier than Weebly. One thing though, please look up the meaning of "robust." You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

[@graceextra3595]

A wonderful whistle-stop tour. Thank you Mike 😀

[@delia5627]

Great video! Super helpful, easy to understand and informative. Feeling very confident now in designing my websites. Thank you!

[@tobinATX]

Great video! Thank you for making it

[@ian_middleton]

Thanks for a great tutorial. As the tutorial uses the cursor so much, please consider enlarging your screen cursor (or other similar effect) so it is easier to follow where it moves to.

[@ramonenriquezschafer214]

Awesome tutorial! This helped me a ton. Thanks a lot!

Thank you for your kind words Cailyn. Good luck with your website!

[@silerdalton6617]

Can y’all do a video on starting a web development company? One that utilizes squarespace and Shopify and the other website building platforms? I’ve recently started a digital media marketing in which I’ve made a few websites but I’ve had a hard time pricing it. Thanks for all the videos

[@aaronpn9928]

I feel like this was a great guide when it was published in 2022. SS has already changed enough around that I'm having difficulty following along in 2023 :(

[@franknunez7308]

Hi Mike, I'm a big fan of your videos and they have been a great resource to me. Thank you! Would you consider adding an ADA Accessibility component to your various website development videos? It is something that is needed and I don't see if any of the website platforms have this feature.

[@codebyneda]

amazing and helpful video. please make the video on selling. specially in different countries.

[@charlesegbulefu7709]

Thank you Mike. Please could you make a video on updating your website with your new information so that it may look fresh? Thank you.

[@katkolemktg]

Great video!

Thanks for sharing

[@Vilmaomzenhypnosis]

Awesome video. thank you! yes like a sell video please, thanks

[@fitnessfamilyff8427]

thanks bro

[@WhatpeteshotAu]

That was a great video thanks Mike! Can i ask one question - do i need to pre optimise my images (size, pixels, etc) before uploading or does squarespace do that for me on uploading?? Conscious of image res and bad SEO / load speed? Thanks

[@stephanieverzola9097]

love this video! I have a question? I had someone build my websites and never finished. So, now im stuck trying to figure out how to start over and pick another design. How do i do this? Any advice & help would be greatly appreciated Thank you

[@nicoc1236]

E-commerce video would be awesome!

I don't see any of the tools in the top bar (theme editor, etc.) on any of the browsers on my MacBook (iOS 13.5.2).

[@sugafittv4754]

Hello thank you so much for this video I wish I would have found it sooner. Please create another video showing how to sale on Square Space

[@ActualHealth.]

Thanks Mikes for this video. But is this possible with smartphone please?

[@Human_Evolution-]

My Squarespace looks much different. There must have been a big update recently. The first time I am told to click EDIT I cannot see anything that looks like this video when you click EDIT.

[@jeannettekwiatkowski]

Thank you so much!

[@SantrelMedia]

You're welcome. Thank you for watching!

[@sarahcollins9198]

Is it possible to change your template after you’ve picked one?

[@rekkerfamily3469]

Thank you so much for this!! I now feel more confidence in starting to set up my website. : ) Just a quick question. I already have a blog that has been in existence for 10 years.... is there any way to connect the blog to my SquareSpace so that I can keep my subscribers rather than start a whole new one on my SS website? Thx!

[@nooshstudio192]

I am already midway to build a website, do you have any promo code for square space to be used? it does not let me use the link anymore but accepts promo code. thank you!

[@user-mm2th2hp6h]

💚✍👆💯💲

[@tedtolentino4955]

Thank you for this tutorial which will be very helpful to a novice such as me. A few questions, if I may be allowed: how do you build the file of pictures that you are uploading as you are building the website? Are these simply gathered in Windows pictures, for example? 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.

[@katkolemktg]

Hi, Ted. Great question about photos. You can upload photos from your computer. Typically what you see in the library is images that have recently been uploaded. When I am working on a client's site, I upload the images they provide or I source stock photos. I hope this helps. --NC with Katherine Kole Mktg

[@theperfectsanta9447]

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.

[@lizziev4510]

I have a question: I just bought a domain and then I edited a template but apparently the template I've been editing isn't connected to my existing domain. I don’t understand how to put the template I've been working on, on my existing new domain?

[@jackiewolfe7635]

Can you please make a video explaining selling items on square space. i really understood your explanation on this video and I thank you

[@studiolezard]

Great vid. One small question: I'll be redesigning an existing site for my client but it won't go online until it's done. How do I show my client the work in progress? Is there an online "sandbox" I can refer the client to?

[@katkolemktg]

Hi, Steve. I would recommend using video chat or screen sharing apps to conduct a walk-through with your client. You can show them what you've completed on the site and get their feedback right then. Outside of wireframes, that's how I conduct my client feedback meetings. I hope this helps. --NC with Katherine Kole Marketing

[@hillari91jon8]

I’m selling on Etsy all your videos are amazing can you make a video how to sell using squarespace

[@jdg3275]

Great tutorial. I think I am going back to WordPress. I want to insert photos into bodies of text and have a description under each photo. I couldn't get a handle on changing fonts. I am building a travel blog/site.

[@mikemalaspina153]

I'm super interested in selling my art on squarespace and would love to hear your advice video on that!

[@MahavirTripleOnStudio]

i have created single page website in squarespace. i have 3 menus, portfolio, bio and contact. i added new page in portfolio. in bio and contact menu i gave link which is jump to particular area in home page. it is working. but when you open portfolio which is new page. in that page if you click on bio and contact menu, it is not working. how can i solve it?

[@josephademola9465]

To address this, ensure that the internal links within the bio and contact menus are correctly configured to navigate within the new portfolio page. Double-check that the anchor points on the homepage match the links in the menus.

[@Alhamzah_F_Abbas]

Thank you so much, Mike, I liked your tutorial as you presented helpful information. is it possible to use Squarespace for building a scientific journal website as well?.
