How to Make a Professional Website on Squarespace (Step-by-Step)
Class Trailer:
If you’re a designer or creative who wants to break into web without learning to code, this class is for you.
Squarespace is a powerful, design-led platform that lets you build professional sites quickly—perfect for portfolios, small brands and client work.
I’ll show you exactly what you need (and skip the noise) so you can decide if Squarespace fits your workflow and then start creating fast.
What you’ll learn (3 parts):
- Foundations & FAQ: What Squarespace is, pros/cons vs WordPress, how long it takes to get fluent, how much design control you have, and when to use it for client projects.
- Build with me: A streamlined, design-first tutorial where we create a small site from scratch (using my fictional “Evoke Brewery” brand). We’ll cover sections, typography, color, layouts, image treatment, navigation, mobile tweaks, and essential settings—without drowning in every menu.
- Pro tips & best practice: Speed, consistency, SEO basics, asset prep, domain/launch checks, simple handover for clients.
Class project: spin up a free Squarespace trial and build your own site alongside me.
By the end, you’ll have a polished sample and a repeatable process for future client work.
