    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

We also want to publish our community center calendar so potential clients can look and see when our center is available to rent. We rent it for community events like birthdays ect…..
    If we created a website through Squarespace , what would be your recommendation for a calendar where folks could see the availability and maybe in the future, write their name in for a specific date………

    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.

    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.

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
