The Squarespace Forum is a community platform where users and developers collaborate, share solutions, and discuss Squarespace customization. You don't need a website subscription to participate.

Getting Started

Setting Up Your Profile

  • Personal information
  • Website details
  • Profile picture
  • Cover photo
  • Skills and expertise

Account Settings

Customize your experience through Account Settings:

  • Update display name (every 7 days)
  • Monitor device access
  • Adjust content view preferences
  • Create signature (max 3 lines, 2 colors, one 150×150px image)
  • Manage notification preferences

Using the Forum

Community Guidelines
