This is a little dated as he is using a different version of Squarespace, but it is an good overall course. I bought at a discount price, so I was happy I didn't pay full price.

Great training course! However, some of the tools have been moved to different locations within Squarespace. Video needs to be updated. Otherwise, Keep up the great work!

I have previously built a couple of squarespace sites and this was not a good match for me. I was looking for tips for setting up the site better and this was just a feature list. I knew most of that from stumbling through the other sites. Andy's teaching style is good and the information would be helpful to someone who has never touched squarespace. Fortunately, the platform is incredibly intuitive and user friendly which is why this was a bad fit for me.

Once we got into Styles it really started to help me. The selected Squarespace site for the lessons does not appear to be available. Did I miss it? That has made it a bit more difficult since I can't follow on accurately, however, I am making notes and I am definitely learning a lot. So far, so good. Thank you.

I understand so far. I already have a site that was created by someone else. But now I must edit and update it myself. I want to change it in several ways, also. I need to learn how to do that and the way the instructor is explaining, I feel like I may be able to understand.

Hugely helpful. An abundance of invaluable information that will make Squarespace site building easier and a much shorter, less mistake-laden process. Quick to-the-point lessons packed with clear instruction. Thanks, Andy! I'm ready to go for it now.

The video was slow to load between chapters. Otherwise Andy explained things quite well. This is the best explanation of Square Space I have run across o this point.

I really enjoyed this course and learned a lot from it. The material is organized in a logical manner and the videos are well done. The instructor not only explains and demonstrates the concepts very well but he is also pleasant and fun to listen to. Excellent course!

This is an excellent course to get a thorough overview on the functionality of Squarespace. I probably saved 5-10 hours of trial and error time just by taking this well-put together course.
