Now, it’s a given that you can build a decent website using the pre-designed layouts and templates from Squarespace. But from time to time, you will want to add a design element to your Squarespace Website that will requires a some CSS code. I’m self-taught when it comes to CSS and I have many of my talented colleagues to thank for showing me their tips and tricks when it comes to adding that special look to any Squarespace website. And I’d today, I’d like to share 5 of them with you so that you can tap into the wealth of resources they have created. Let’s get started.

There’s a lot to cover about Member Areas but for today, I want to address only one thing and that is how do enable a login feature so that your students can sign into your program.

With the start of the new year, you may be thinking of giving your website a fresh new look. But before you scroll through new templates or change up the font or the color, I suggest you look at your website and ask yourself this question:

Is my website clearly presenting my no. 1 goal to my visitors within seconds of them arriving on the site? This single question will prove to be more effective in using your website to help realize the goals you have for your business.

In either case, if you have a “parked” domain name, a domain name sitting in your account but not being used anywhere, and want to connect it to a new or existing website, then this blog + step by step video will help you get that done.
