Squarespace Trainings

Squarespace is an amazing tool for entrepreneurs, freelancers, bloggers, photographers, restaurants, and small business owners looking to build a beautifully designed website quickly and easily. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to choose a template, customize the look and feel of your website, lay out content, and leave with the beginnings of your very own website.

For your small business to remain competitive and relevant, you need a professional website. Learning a website builder can be frustrating, time consuming, and expensive. Whether you’ve put off creating a website for ages, have a months-old half-finished website, or are looking for a fresh redesign on a modern platform, this workshop is for you.
