Yes, you can make a course on Squarespace!
Here’s how:
- First, you’ll need to create a Squarespace account. You can use your existing email address, or create a new one just for your course.
- Once you have an account, log in and select the ‘Create a Site’ button.
- On the next page, you’ll be asked to choose a template. For a course website, we recommend selecting one of the ‘Portfolio’ templates. These templates are designed to showcase images and videos, which is perfect for displaying your course content.
- After selecting a template, you’ll be prompted to enter your site’s name and address. Once you’ve done that, click ‘Create Site’.
- Now that your site is created, it’s time to start adding content! To add a page for your course, go to the ‘Pages’ section of your site’s dashboard and click ‘Add Page’.
- On the next screen, you’ll be able to choose what type of page you’d like to add. For a course page, select the ‘Standard Page’ option.
- Now it’s time to start adding content to your page! You can do this by clicking on the ‘Content’ area of the page and then selecting the ‘Add Content’ button. This will bring up a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor, where you can add text, images, videos, and more.
- Once you’re happy with your page, click the ‘Publish’ button to make it live on your site.
PRO TIP: There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as Squarespace is a popular website builder with a wide range of features and customization options. However, before you create a course on Squarespace, it’s important to be aware of the potential risks and pitfalls.
For example, Squarespace is a paid service, so you’ll need to sign up for a subscription in order to create and publish your course. Additionally, Squarespace courses are not hosted on the platform itself, so you’ll need to find a compatible hosting solution.
Finally, while Squarespace offers a wide range of features, it’s important to make sure that your course will actually work on the platform. For instance, Squarespace does not support video playback, so if your course relies heavily on video content, you may want to consider another platform.
