Can You Build Forms on Squarespace?

Last updated on December 30, 2022 @ 10:02 pm

Forms are a crucial part of any website, allowing users to input data, sign up for newsletters, and more. But can you build forms on Squarespace?

The short answer is yes, you can build forms on Squarespace. However, it’s not as simple as just adding a few input fields and calling it a day. In order to create a form that looks and functions the way you want it to, you’ll need to put in some time and effort.

There are two main ways to create forms on Squarespace: using the built-in Form Block, or by adding custom code. The Form Block is the easier of the two methods, but it has its limitations. If you want more control over your form’s design and functionality, you’ll need to use custom code.

Whether you use the Form Block or custom code, you’ll need to start by creating a page or post for your form. Once you’ve done that, you can then add your form elements.

With the Form Block, you can simply drag and drop form fields onto your page. With custom code, you’ll need to manually add each form element.

PRO TIP: Forms on Squarespace are not supported. If you need to use a form on your site, we recommend using a third-party form builder.

Once your form elements are in place, you’ll need to configure them. This includes setting up field validation (to make sure users enter the correct type of data), specifying where submitted form data should be sent, and more.

Again, the Form Block makes this process easier by providing a visual interface for configuring form fields. If you’re using custom code, you’ll need to do all of this yourself.

After your form is set up and configured properly, it should be good to go! Users will be able to submit data through your form, and it will be stored securely in Squarespace’s database.

Conclusion:

So there you have it – yes, you can build forms on Squarespace!
