The best online Squarespace courses, reviewed

Squarespace is easy to start with and surprisingly deep to master. If you manage your own site, or building sites for clients, a good course gets you further, faster than piecing together YouTube tutorials. As an agency that lives on this platform, here are the five we'd actually point people to, and who each one suits.

(And if the DIY route isn't for you at all, that's what we're here for.)

1. Standout Squarespace (Squarestylist)

Standout Squarespace, taught by Rachel del Luna, is the course for designers who want to push past what the platform does out of the box. It runs from Squarespace foundations up to genuinely advanced CSS (pseudo-elements, Flexbox, CSS Grid), the techniques behind the custom features premium clients pay for. Project-based, self-paced, with workshops and an active community attached.

Best for: working designers who want to charge more by doing things other Squarespace designers can't.

2. Squarespace Mastery (Applet Studio)

If you're starting from zero, Olga Dorovskykh's Squarespace Mastery is the gentlest on-ramp on this list. Its core idea is one we agree with: Squarespace is an implementation tool, and the real work happens before you touch it, so the course spends serious time on mood boards, Figma prototyping, copy basics and layout before any site-building. Comes with sample briefs, a branding workshop and Figma files to work from.

Best for: beginners and small business owners building their first proper site.

3. Squarespace Design Course (ilovecreatives)

Taught by Puno, the ilovecreatives course takes a gamified route through four stages: native Squarespace features, CSS/HTML fundamentals, building your own site, and, unusually, a full freelancing module covering portfolios, pricing and client management. Over 3,000 students, monthly live workshops, a community Discord, and a searchable database of Squarespace CSS selectors you'll keep using long after the course ends.

Best for: creatives who learn by doing and want the freelancing playbook included.

4. Scale With Templates (Kate Scott)

Scale With Templates is a different animal: it's not about building client sites, it's about escaping them. Kate Scott's course walks through launching a Squarespace template shop: choosing a niche, designing templates people buy, setting up delivery so it runs without you, and pricing the whole thing. Four modules plus a marketing bonus module with guest experts.

Best for: designers who want product revenue instead of (or alongside) client work.

5. Website That Wows (Louise Grey)

Website That Wows is course-meets-template: a done-for-you Squarespace template with fill-in-the-blank copy sections installed into your account, plus step-by-step tutorials for customising it, and 90 days of email support. The least "course-like" option here, and that's the point: it's for people who want the outcome more than the education.

Best for: entrepreneurs who find the blank page overwhelming and want a guided shortcut to done.

Also worth knowing: Circle member courses

Squarespace's own professional community (Circle) maintains a directory of courses by experienced members for the cases none of the five above quite fits.

Which one should you pick?

Complete beginner: Squarespace Mastery. Designer levelling up: Standout Squarespace. Want the freelance career around it: ilovecreatives. Want passive income: Scale With Templates. Want it mostly done for you: Website That Wows. And if what you actually want is a professional site without becoming a designer at all, that's the other option.
