The 10 Best Squarespace Training Courses of 2024
If you're looking to brush up on some skills and get an edge in your Squarespace design business, now's a good time. One of the best decisions I made in my early Squarespace career was to learn as much as I could about the platform and how to tweak it.
I've put together a list of some of the top Squarespace courses available right now. I shared this in the Squarespace Entrepreneurs Facebook group and got some feedback from folks who’ve taken some of these courses. I’ve included some of their reviews below.
Prices range from $50 to $2000+ but each teacher has tons of free content available online, so check out their websites so you can get familiar with their style before buying a course.

Who it’s for: Novice to Intermediate Squarespace Designers
Instructor: Becca Harpain
Student Review:
“I am a member of Inside the Square: Code Academy. I took her first version of the course in 2020 (I believe it is now on version 3) I come from a print design background and had really no coding or responsive web design experience and was immediately frustrated with how limiting Squarespace was out of the box. Rebecca's course has given me a very good understanding of the basics of Custom CSS, she has put together a great amount of materials, some free on her website, does free youtube CSS snippets every Tuesday, and you get an hour one on one included with the course. All materials/updates are yours to access for life. Now that I am beginning to become more comfortable with Custom CSS, I wish there was more content on using flexbox and grid in squarespace, but I owe the course a ton in getting me started down the responsive web design path.”
