Part 1: So, You Want to Build a Website on Squarespace

There’s no better place to start than the beginning! In Part 1, you will get to know the author (that’s me!). You’ll delve into Squarespace as a platform, explore its comparisons to other tools, and understand how it can support your project. You’ll prepare for website construction by gathering text, images, and other digital assets. Most importantly, you’ll define the purpose of your site and determine what you want your audience to gain from visiting it.

This part has the following chapters:

  • Chapter 1, Choosing Your Platform – To Squarespace or Not To Squarespace
  • Chapter 2, Preparing to Build Your Site – Making an Outline and Gathering Your Assets
