One-on-One Workshops

Shon Dempsey — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 21:11:42 +0000

New to Squarespace? We'd love to help get your site up and running. Each in-person workshop will last an hour and is limited to one per customer on a first-come-first-served basis. And the workshops will be happening at our headquarters here in New York.

The Squarespace Workshops team is here to help you start selling with commerce, create your pages, lay out your content, upload your images, import your blog, set up your domain, and more. Unfortunately, we will not be able to provide any custom programming support including code injection or CSS modification.

We will have computers available for you to use, but you are more than welcome to bring your own. Looking forward to meeting you in person!

Saturday, March 30th workshop is full!

Thank you for your interest, we'll post the next workshop registration details here in the near future.
