Squarespace Tips & Client Systems for Web Designers & Service Providers
Detailed tutorials, shared client systems, pricing tips, and tool reviews for solo service providers and web designers who want less hustle &/or overwhelm.
If you’ve been at this Squarespace thing long enough to feel pretty comfortable using the platform, then you might be at the point where you want to be able to do some things a little different than the template allows.
Or, maybe you’re just a “think outside the bun” kinda girl and you want to jazz it up a bit. Get it further away from the template than you otherwise could if you knew some code.
Yeah, me too. Been there, done that & I’m not a developer; I’m a designer.
And if you’re here reading this, I’m guessing you are too.

I’m sharing my trusted resources for these here, so keep reading!

How to build your free resource library in Squarespace
My own Free Resource Library has evolved a lot since I initially set it up. It was password protected for most of that time and I never really felt right about that.
I don't know about you, but I like to see the resources before I decide to sign up & grab one; ya know? (Confession! I'm on SO MANY lists! 😂)
So I decided to open it up to everyone. That meant no more password!
But how do those freebies still work as opt-ins, if the page isn't password protected anymore?
It’s a valid question, to be sure.
I'll walk ya through how to set up your own Free Resource Library on Squarespace that will still work as opt-ins, but without the pesky password protected page.
