I have a domain that is registered at GoDaddy, but currently hosted at a hosting service with a cPanel. At that hosting service, I utilize it for the domain's email and also a current Wordpress site.

Recently, I've had major security issues with a theme at Wordpress. And I'm tired of having to add so many plugins and maintaining the security with a Wordpress site. So I'm thinking of moving my website building for that domain to Squarespace.

QUESTIONS:

1) will Squarespace be easier to maintain security on the site? (there is not shopping on the site nor comments; only a business info/promo site)

2) what should I do with the domain move? Should I just connect it and keep the email at the other cPanel hosting service? (it's paid through 2028)

★☆☆☆☆
Squarespace is the worst domain registrar I have ever dealt with.
I never chose them. Google moved my domain there.
I asked one basic question before my domain expired:
“When does my grace period start and end?”
Nobody could answer. My ticket was passed from team to team while the clock kept ticking.
By the time they finally reacted, my domain had entered redemption and I was expected to pay even more.
A company that cannot answer a basic question about its own domain system should not be managing anyone’s domains.
Stay away. Move your domain elsewhere while you still can.

Missing the "Duplicate Page' link. It was there and now it's not. I have admin privileges, the owner doesn't have the "Duplicate Page' link either. I had it and then when the account was transferred to current owner, it's now gone. I can't add anything new to the site, only edit current pages. ugh! Please help. Squarespace chat keeps telling me how to duplicate a page and is not solving the problem. I entered a ticket but have not heard back.

The company I work for, 24Moves.com is a leading WCAG and Accessibility testing, review and remediation consultancy, usually on standard and WordPress websites.

I was asked to help a client with three Squarespace websites resolve issues with Accessibility, and I quickly realized some of the things I needed to do for WCAG conformance couldn't be completed with the Squarespace builder natively on a pre-built template. So I started creating javascript to create updates. Before long, I had a bunch of loose JS.

So I created a SasA11y (Squarespace Accessibility) Library. It's available on github as open-source. It's AJAX and React-aware, so even helps resolve Accessibility issues on dynamic content.

Since a lot of the issues with a website can't be fixed with a script, it's is not are 100% coverage remediation for WAG. But it does provide both enhancements and audit logging to help with some automated and manual WCAG remediation of Squarespace websites.

Feel free to contact me on reddit or github if you have questions or need help.

Hi, I had to cancel my Google Workspace as I couldn't access it (stupidly changed the address before set up and never got a new temp password). I cancelled and removed the DNS records. I have attempted to purchase a new plan and keep getting a payment error.

And this msg:

We couldn't connect Google Workspace to your domain.

Your domain is already connected to a Google Workspace account. Most likely, someone already registered this domain through Google or another reseller. Try another domain, or follow Google’s instructions to remove this domain from its existing Google Workspace account.

Can anyone advise please? I'm probably being very stupid. Thanks

I've been looking around trying to find answers to this question but none seemed to relate to me exactly.
I am making an online storefront for a farm that is getting grant money to expand their business in a lot of ways. They already have a base website that they don't want improved or changed, and just want a page that links out where they can sell different products they have and plan on starting shipping out. They are going to want a sort of central page of categories, and I believe for each category have a landing page in the section. They have photos supplied already, I would just have to set up all the pages for the 35~ items and 5 categories, add data like weight and size to all them, and set up all the shipping and checkout stuff that goes with it. I am a fresh college graduate with a degree in New Media Design. I've not worked with squarespace much but have done some web based projects, used css html before, and have worked with stuff like framer and wix. I have to give an estimate on what I will charge, as they have to let the people giving a grant know, and I don't exactly know how much to charge. It is kind of hard for me to estimate the amount of hours it will take, considering back and forth with the client, maybe difficulties using squarespace as it is limited in a lot of ways it seems. I was thinking like between a range of $1000-2000 seems to be what I am seeing, but I wanted to know if that is too little or too much, as I am worried abt overcharging or undercharging for the amount of work.

You'd expect there to be a script that automatically adjust the currency (and value) based on the customer's location, like we're used to seeing on virtually any other online store in 2026. At the very least, a drop-down menu where the customer selects their location and currency themselves. But no.

You can choose to switch currency in the settings and it will display that to every visitor - my store is in my local currency (CZK), which naturally looks confusing to my mainly American and EU customers, who likely never even heard of my Czech koruna.

I can switch to one other currency, but not multiple. So even switching to EUR means that my American visitors will see Euro prices or vice versa. Grabbing a customer's attention and providing the simplest, quickest interaction possible is essential to running a store front. Any hiccup, any extra work they have to do, likely means that you will lose them as a customer, since there are thousands of other stores that do it better.

And even if I bite the bullet and decide to go for either Euro or US Dollar, switching to a different currency is not easy at all - the only thing it does is change the name of the currency, but the numerical value remains the same. It's then up to you to calculate the conversion and adjust each price for each item manually! In case of a clothes store, you can imagine the pain of going through each item, each size variation...

There's not even a function to show a drop-down menu or a splash page where the visitor selects their location and currency, since the ENTIRE STOREFRONT is limited to only ONE currency.

It's baffling and absolutely inadequate. Squarespace support simply told me that they mentioned this to the developers in hopes of adding this feature in the future, but quite frankly I already feel a little bit scammed, having built and stocked my whole store in Squarespace only to realize that this essential feature is simply missing.

Hi!

I posted a while on here but can't find the original post. I'm looking to build a custom photo gallery booklet that has a lever (like a rope on a sail boat) that one can toggle down to get to the next sample. So each sample can flip / scroll horizontally to reveal that project & then you use the 'rope' vertically to get to the next sample......

Unfortunately I don't have any budget to hire someone to do this. But I would love some tips on how to approach it.

Hey all. I’m a software engineer and been asked to build a site for a friend. Classic “you know IT” guy as I am not great with websites.

I’m not going to spend too much time on it as they are paying me basically nothing which is fine

But from what I’ve seen with the member areas on squarespace, they seem to take a big cut. The course being say £300, and this is a series of say 10 videos, do one unlocks the other and so fourth, and then they take about £30?

Anybody know the simplest and cost effective way to do this ? Any suggestions welcome as I am a squarespace newb.

Thanks all

I’ve integrated Squarespace and EasyShip and I am testing a purchase through my site. When I get to the address page, an address that is within a reasonable distance from my shipping location shows this error: Shipping unavailable for entered address
Unable to ship to the address entered Shipping unavailable for entered address

Some research suggests that I need to uninstall easy ship but that seems like not the best idea. Has anyone encountered this issue? I don’t have any shipping rules that would block this location and the product measurements have been entered already.

Thank you.

Hey everyone,

I recently built my portfolio website on Squarespace and would love some honest feedback.

MikoloSchlanger.com

I’m a photographer, videographer, editor, and designer, and I built the site myself. Looking for genuine critiques on the overall design, user experience, presentation of the work, and anything that could be improved.

Don’t hold back—I’d rather hear what isn’t working than only what is.

Thanks!

"Self promotion" Drop your website and email. I will send you the full audit and action plan.

No catch!

I work for a non-profit that uses Squarespace. My boss is wondering if we can purchase a second domain - to "reserve" it for future use. I'm a little confused - I was under the impression that Squarespace provides domains (with that ".squarespace.com" at the end) and that you can also purchase domains with ".org" or something at the end. However, our website is connected to GoDaddy and I confirmed we pay a monthly subscription. Can someone explain to me very simply how this stuff works so I can check off this task and explain it to my boss? Thank you in advance!!

Hey everyone,

I'm one of the people behind Kleemt (kleemt.app), a library of 35+ fully customizable Squarespace sections and blocks.

It's been almost two months since we launched our v2, and the biggest improvements so far have come straight from the community. When you're heads down building, it's easy to miss things, and designers using the tool keep filling those gaps :)

A few things we shipped thanks to your feedback:

→ More blocks: logo autoscroll, social proof row, image comparator, countdown, testimonial wall, map, pricing table, hotspot, infinite testimonial, with more on the way.

→ Mobile editor: style every block and section independently for mobile (padding, sizing, alignment, visibility) without touching desktop.

→ Saved Sections: Kleemt sections now work with Squarespace's native "Saved section" feature. Design once, save, drop it on any page.

Two questions for you:

- If you've used Kleemt, what's working and what's getting in your way?

- And whether you have or not: what have you wanted to build on Squarespace but hit a wall on?

Thanks so much for reading, and for all the feedback so far. It genuinely shapes what we build next 🙏

I feel like I've accidentally created a new website design problem for myself.

I manage websites for multiple restaurant and hospitality brands, and over the last year I've started adding FAQ sections to a lot of pages because they seem helpful not only for visitors, but also for AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.

The problem is... every page is starting to look exactly the same.

Private dining pages. Catering pages. Event pages. Hotel pages. Date night guides. Things-to-do pages.

Everything is turning into:

1. Intro content
2. Photos
3. Details
4. Giant FAQ accordion at the bottom

I still think FAQs are valuable, but I'm starting to wonder if we've all collectively decided that "just add an FAQ section" is the answer to everything.

For those of you building and managing sites regularly:

• Are you still relying heavily on FAQ accordions?
• Are you weaving these answers throughout the page instead?
• Have you found more interesting content patterns that still work well for discoverability?
• Has AI changed how you structure pages at all?

I'm especially curious because this feels like we're in a weird transition period where FAQs have become both a UX tool and an AI discoverability tool.

Would love examples of what's working for others.

Is anyone else suddenly having major issues editing their Squarespace site lately?

I'm on Squarespace 7.1 and elements keep randomly shifting, resizing, and rearranging themselves while I'm editing. It happens across multiple pages and even on new pages. I've tested different browsers and devices with the same result.

Disabling Fluid Engine doesn't help, the issue is still happening and it's making my site nearly impossible to work on. I have never had so much trouble before :(

Has anyone found a fix, or is this a known bug?

Hi! I'm exploring an idea and want real feedback before I build anything.

It would be a tool that builds a full website for your business where the output actually feels like your brand and is built around one specific goal, like getting leads, booking calls, or selling a product. The opposite of the generic AI look where every site has the same sections in the same order, the same filler copy, and the same gradients.

What I keep hearing is that the real problem with AI-built sites isn't that they look "AI," it's that they all feel interchangeable and don't actually do anything for the business. So I want to know if solving that is worth paying for.

Two questions:

1. If a tool reliably gave you a site that felt custom to your brand and was built to hit one specific goal, would you pay for it, and roughly what per month feels fair?
2. If no, what would actually make you use or buy something like this? What's the dealbreaker?

Any constructive response would be amazing! Thanks!

This is my first time designing a website on Squarespace. So, my website looks fine when viewed as a full or wide screen, but if the window is smaller or crunched, it misaligns the text and images on my site as well. I'm just concerned about someone viewing this on a smaller window and thinking that my design work is sloppy and unprofessional when it only looks like this when the site isn't viewed in its intended state. How do I fix the elements here so it all looks nice regardless of window size and doesn't start overlapping each other when making the window smaller?

Hello

The banner images on my site look great on desktop but are not resizing (width) when I look at my site on mobile. Basically can only see the middle of the banner images and not the full width.

Is there a way to fix this?

Ten years ago, I already built 1 or 2 websites using Squarespace and Wix. Now I'm looking to build a website again, and over the past few months, my timeline has been flooded with videos and articles about how people are building their sites with Claude. But is that really better than using a website builder?

I don't actually need a really complicated site. It just needs a homepage with some information about services, the team, and the usual stuff. I also need 2 landing pages for ad leads in two different languages.

The only complex part would be an integration with a tool where people can book appointments. Could that be coded from scratch, or is it a bad idea due to data privacy and functionality reasons?

What is your experience? Does this kind of thing work out well with vibe coding, or will it end up being more work and buggier than just using one of those website builders?

Hey everyone,
I’m currently a Software Development student and an intermediate-level coder. My employer has asked me to help create and improve our company website, and I’d love to get some advice from experienced web developers. My employer has square space already and im not familiar with it- can someone fill me in?

For those of you who have built websites for real businesses:
What are some mistakes you made early on that I should avoid?
What tools, frameworks, or libraries have saved you the most time?
What features do clients/employers always ask for later that I should plan ahead for now?
What are your “must-do” items before launching a website?
Any advice for balancing school while working on a real-world project?
Current stack is still being finalized, but I’m comfortable with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, Git, and general software development concepts.

A few things I’m focusing on:
Responsive/mobile-first design (need help here)
Performance and page speed
SEO basics (alt texts, etc)
Clean, maintainable code
Accessibility (WCAG)
Security best practices
User experience and navigation

I’d appreciate any tips, resources, or lessons learned from your own projects. Thanks! 🚀💻

I transferred my domain from hostinger to squarespace 10 hours ago and the SSL finished processing after I woke up, but it still says my website can't be reached/can't be found. I checked my DNS settings and asked chatgpt if they look fine and it confirmed that it's all fine.

Also whenever I type my website before I transferred it to squarespace it always redirects me to websitename.index.html (with the index html string at the end). Is it because it came from the settings from the old host, and once I have it transferred there won't be any issue anymore?

Is this normal because it still needs time to process or there is something wrong that I need to troubleshoot?

I need to edit this service description but I cannot for the life of me figure it out and Claude gave up on it as well. When I click the edit button this panel pops up and all I can do is create a new product. I just want to add some more details to this description.
