Ready to go? Let's get you started on Squarespace.

1. Create a Squarespace Account

Visit the Squarespace website and click Get Started to sign up for an account.

They will get you to choose a template straight away, so pick any template for now as that will create a starter site in your Squarespace account that you won't need to use. You will then need to sign up with your email address and your Squarespace account will be created.

You don't need to pay for anything just yet.

2. Choose A Template

Now is the fun part. Here at Design Pixie, we have a range of Squarespace templates to design your website. When you purchase a template from us, it will be added to the Squarespace account you just created, as a new site to work on.

Explore the options and find a template that aligns with your style, vibe and goals. Remember, you can always customize the template to make it unique to your brand by changing colors and adding your own logo and photos.

When you purchase a Design Pixie Squarespace template, we give you 12 months to work on your site for free! You will only need to start paying for a plan when you want to make your website live - the Core plan is the best option.

3. Customize Your Website

Now that you have a template it's time to start customizing your website. Using a template, you will have the entire layout already created for you. You can edit each page one by one, starting with the home page.

Squarespace's drag-and-drop editor makes it easy to add and arrange content, change colors and fonts, and personalize your site to reflect your unique style.

4. Set up your domain

A domain is the web address where people can find your website. Squarespace offers the option to register a new domain or connect an existing one. Choose a domain name that is memorable and relevant to your brand. Squarespace also provides SSL certificates to ensure your website is secure.

5. Preview And Publish

Before making your website live, take the time to preview and test it on different devices to ensure it looks and functions as intended. Once you're satisfied, hit the publish button and share your website with the world!
