Everything You Need to Build a Successful Squarespace Web Design Business
While many know Standout Squarespace for teaching custom coding techniques, in this post I want to highlight the comprehensive business resources that make our program the complete package for web designers.

Are you looking to kickstart or level up your Squarespace web design business? Whether you're just starting out or refining your client process, our Standout Squarespace program is designed to support you every step of the way—not just in design and development, but in building a thriving business.
Let me take you through what makes this program special.
Two Levels to Fit Your Journey: Foundations and Advanced
The program is split into two levels: Foundations and Advanced. You can begin with the Foundations tier, which teaches you how to professionally build Squarespace websites—no code required (yet!). Once you're ready to push your skills further, you can upgrade to the Advanced lessons.
What’s Inside the Foundations Tier?
The Foundations tier is your go-to if you're looking for business tools and resources. It’s packed with templates, checklists, guides, and scripts that support the entire project journey—from inquiry to launch.
We even have a dedicated page just for Foundations because there’s so much packed in that we couldn’t fit everything on the main sales page.
Templates, Scripts, and Client Tools That Actually Work
We’ve got everything you need to streamline your client process:
Process Templates & Checklists
Discovery Questionnaire – Interactive and dynamic
Welcome Guide Kits – Available in XD, Figma, or adaptable to your preferred tool
Copy Prompts & Website Copy Guide – Available as form templates or Google Docs
Discovery Call Scripts
Email Scripts for Pitching, Onboarding, and Client Management
Our goal is to make every step smooth—not just for you but for your clients too.
A Step-by-Step Curriculum You Can Follow
Inside the module lessons, you'll learn to deliver full Squarespace projects end-to-end:
Start with Design Strategy
Follow the Standout Checklist to ensure nothing gets missed
Learn about Development using Squarespace’s built-in tools
Master SEO, accessibility, and performance through dedicated checklists
Build real projects: homepage, about, portfolio, shop, even courses and digital products
We walk you through the basics and beyond, making sure each lesson is interactive and actionable.
Real Practice, Real Projects
Throughout the program, you’ll work on hands-on projects and get to follow along with video lessons. You can watch how we build each section—or try it yourself first and then compare.
This isn't surface-level knowledge. These are best practices built from years of client work and real-life Squarespace projects.
Business Tools That Help You Thrive
In the business-focused section, you'll learn:
Strategic Pricing – How to price with purpose
Marketing Your Services – Build authority with digital products and free content
Client Experience – From onboarding to offboarding, we’ve got guides for it all
Plus, we guide you in using your product suite as part of your portfolio. It’s a smart way to show your expertise while growing your reach.
An Engaged, Supportive Community
You won’t be doing this alone. Our Standout Squarespace community is where you can:
Ask questions
Connect with other designers
Join live practice threads
Get support from mentors and me personally
Whether it's troubleshooting, pricing advice, or client communication tips—we’re here to help.
Ready to Learn Code?
Once you're confident with the no-code tools, you can level up by upgrading to the full version of the program. Everything you paid for the Foundations tier will be credited toward the upgrade—so there’s no risk in starting small.
The Advanced tier introduces coding in Squarespace, taught in a smart, accessible way. You’ll unlock endless possibilities to create custom, in-demand website features.
Check out our Showcase page to see what’s possible. Every site featured there was built by our students using the techniques and support we provide.
