Can You Edit Your Website After Publishing on Squarespace?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 3:14 am

As a web platform, Squarespace is known for its user-friendly interface and pre-designed templates. Once you’ve selected a template and added your content, Squarespace makes it easy to publish your site with just a few clicks.

But what happens if you want to make changes after your site is live? Can you edit your Squarespace website after publishing?

The answer is yes, you can edit your Squarespace website after publishing. However, there are some limitations to consider before making any changes.

First of all, it’s important to understand that Squarespace websites are built on a grid system. This means that your content is arranged in blocks that fit into specific areas on your page. If you want to move something around, you’ll need to work within the existing grid.

In addition, each template has its own unique set of features and options. This means that not all templates will offer the same flexibility when it comes to editing.

For example, some templates may not allow you to change the layout of your pages after they’ve been published. Others may not let you add certain types of content, such as forms or third-party plugins.

PRO TIP: After publishing your website on Squarespace, you will not be able to edit your website.

Before making any changes to your site, it’s always a good idea to check theTemplate Guide for your specific template. This guide will list any limitations or restrictions that apply to that template. Once you know what you can and can’t change, you can start making edits to your site.

If you just want to make small changes, such as updating text or images, then you can do so directly from the Squarespace interface. Simply log in and navigate to the page you want to edit. Then, make your changes and click Save.

For more significant changes, such as adding new pages or changing the layout of your site, you’ll need to use Squarespace’s Developer Platform. This platform enables you to make customizations to your site using CSS, HTML, and JavaScript. Once you’ve made your changes, you can publish them by clicking Save & Publish.

Conclusion

In conclusion, yes – you can edit your Squarespace website after publishing. There are some inherent limitations based on which template you have selected foryour website design but generally speaking – making small updates or even significant changes are all possible provided you have access (and know how) to work within Squarespace’s Developer Platform.
