With the release of Squarespace 7, the company has dramatically boosted the support and online help available, and the user support community is rapidly growing. However, this latest version of Squarespace is a bit more complex than previous versions, and the increased flexibility and power of Squarespace 7 has made things less intuitive in some areas. Even by following Squarespace's training videos or help guides, it's not always clear what is the best method or order to do things, and sometimes, the terminology or techniques can be confusing for "non-techies". This book will guide you through every step of the way, in the right order, clearly explaining the how, why, and the effect of every action you'll perform.
