Signing up for a Squarespace account
All you need in order to sign up for Squarespace is a valid email address. Squarespace includes a free trial period, so you don't even need a credit card to get started—you can set up payment with your credit card later at the end of your trial period.
To sign up for your Squarespace account, perform the following steps:
- Go to www.squarespace.com.
- Click on the Get Started button.
You will then be presented with a selection of templates to choose from. Don't worry too much about choosing the right template at this point, because we'll cover templates in the next chapter. Choose any template for now.
- Click on the thumbnail image for your chosen template.
- On the resulting screen, click on Start With This Design.
- Enter the information in the First Name and Last Name fields.
Ideally, you should enter a form of your business name instead of your personal name. It's worth noting that you can use a custom domain name, such as
www.janedoe.com
, instead of your Squarespace Site Name, so don't fret too much about what you enter while signing up, especially if you plan to use a custom domain name when you launch the site. You can also change your Squarespace account name later, if you need to (we'll learn how to do this in Chapter 9, Going Live with Your Website and Driving Traffic to It).Squarespace will insert a hyphen between whatever you put as First Name and whatever you put as Last Name.
Squarespace account names must be between 3-25 characters long, and they can have numbers, letters, and hyphens.
- Enter your valid email address in the Email field.
If you already have an account with Squarespace, you can link this new site to your existing account. Just enter the same e-mail address and the same password that you used for the other account here.
- Enter a secure password in the Password field. It probably goes without saying, but you should always ensure you use a secure, unique password—ensure you remember what it is.
- Click on Finish & Create Site.
The system will now check whether the Squarespace Site Name is available, and if so, it will automatically create your account and your Squarespace website. You will now see a floating Welcome box that invites you to answer a few questions to help set up your new website according to the purpose of your site.
To perform the initial set up for your new Squarespace website, click on Next and answer the questions on screen, as follows:
- Under Site Purpose, select Business, and then click on Next.
- Under Site Title, put the name of your business, and then click on Next.
- Under Business Information, enter the address for your business if you want this information to be visible to the public. If not, you can skip this and click on Done.
This will close the dialog box and you will then be logged in to the backend administrative part of your website, called the Squarespace Site Manager.
