How One Business Grew Its Email List Using Squarespace Forms (and Didn’t Annoy a Single Soul)

Having trouble growing your email list on Squarespace? You are not alone. I worked with a small online shop that had great products and a clean website, but no one was signing up. It felt like throwing a party and nobody showed up.

We fixed it by using Squarespace’s built-in forms in a smarter way. No annoying pop-ups. No desperate “subscribe” banners. Just thoughtful placement, clear messaging, and an offer people actually wanted. The result was steady sign-ups from customers who cared.

Squarespace Customization Q&A: How to Personalize Your Site Without Making It Look Like a Circus

Building a Squarespace website that feels like you should not feel like rocket science. You want it bold enough to stand out, simple enough to work, and professional enough to win trust. The problem? Most people either overdo it or play it too safe.

Here is the truth: the best Squarespace sites nail balance. Clean templates that showcase your products or services. Fonts and colors that look intentional, not accidental. A little personality woven into the copy and visuals so people remember who you are.

If you are second‑guessing every design choice or worried about breaking something, you do not have to figure it out alone. Our Squarespace design services and WebPlan+ support help brands create sites that feel unique without the chaos — and stay that way long after launch.

A Year In Review

The Era of Fake Advertising Agencies Selling "Master Classes"

In the two years I’ve been at this, I’ve seen a lot. I’ve seen “agencies” that front claiming they “do everything for you” but have no experience and use Fiverr instead of their knowledge. I’ve seen individuals using template landing pages telling other agencies that they can book them “100 new leads in 30 days”. While the former is egregious and obviously wrong, the latter is a systemic issue that is hooking people into giving a stranger cash at a rate as alarming as a multi-level-marketing company.
