Share a trial site privately using a site password. This lets others view your site before it goes live, without giving them editing access.

Owner Login Steps:

1. Visit your site URL (found in "Welcome to Squarespace" email)
2. Click "Login"
3. Enter your credentials

Setting Up Visitor Access:

1. Add a site password to enable private sharing
2. Share your site's predefined domain name (without /config)
3. Visitors can view the site using the password

Important Notes:

• Trial sites are private by default
• Only owners and contributors can access without a password
• Password-protected sites won't appear in search results
• To make your site public, upgrade to a paid plan

Tips for Sharing:

• Test your site across different devices using the site password
• Ensure the domain name is correct before sharing
• Share with specific people for feedback before launch

Works perfectly for sharing with:

• Friends and family
• Potential clients
• Test groups
• Stakeholders

Once ready for public viewing, upgrade your site to remove password protection.
