Connecting to a domain and email (eek!)
The 3 real learning pitfalls on Squarespace that are NOT intuitive and how to jump them (everything else is easy)
How to get the best out of the amazing Squarespace help centre (their team are crack hot and give detailed, clear friendly answers within 24 hours.)

The workshop is delivered in person at The Mill Gallery, Leeds, or in a live online group for those further afield.

Blended learning methodology with support before and after the workshop
Each person actively makes their website live within the workshop time, step-by-step
Laugh together, swap ideas and problem-solve within the group.
