Squarespace is a web-based tool that allows non-technical people to create and manage professional-looking websites quickly, without needing to write any code. It empowers business owners to take total control of their own websites, without needing to pay someone to design or maintain it. This book covers much more than just how to use Squarespace. It covers all aspects of creating a successful business website, from developing your brand identity, to writing and structuring content to match your target audience's needs, and dozens of other other valuable tips that will help your website shine.

The book starts by helping you plan your website project and gather all the raw materials you'll need.

After the aesthetics have been honed and all functions tested, you will launch your website and drive traffic to it, monitor it, and improve it.
