Yes, you can share a preview of your Squarespace site with others, and there are a few different methods you can use to do so. Depending on your needs, you may want to share just a specific page or the entire site. Here’s how you can accomplish this:

Sharing a Preview Link

For All Site Content: 1. Preview Mode: While you’re logged into your Squarespace account, navigate to the site you wish to share. 2. Enable Preview: On the top right-hand corner, click on the "Share Preview" button. This usually appears under the "Settings" or “Site Availability” section. 3. Copy Preview Link: Squarespace will generate a unique URL that you can share with others. This link allows users to view your site as if it were live without it being publicly accessible. 4. Send the Link: Copy this preview link and send it to anyone you’d like to preview your site.

Using a Password-Protected Site

For Entire Site: 1. Enable Password Protection: Go to your Squarespace settings. 2. Navigate to Site Availability Settings: Usually located under 'Settings' > 'Site Availability'. 3. Select ‘Password Protected’: Enter a password that you can share with viewers. 4. Share URL and Password: Give the people the URL of your site and the password. They can enter this password to access the site’s content.

Specific Page Sharing

For Individual Pages: 1. Preview in Admin View: Navigate to the specific page you wish to share within the Squarespace editor. 2. Copy Page URL: Copy the URL shown in the browser’s address bar. Note that this URL is specific to that page. 3. Ensure Page Visibility: Make sure the page is not set to ‘Draft’ or ‘Hidden’ if you want others to view it. 4. Share URL: Provide the URL to the individuals you’d like to view the page.

Considerations and Limitations

1. Mobile View: Make sure to preview the site yourself in both desktop and mobile views to ensure that it appears correctly for viewers.
2. SEO Implications: If your site is live but still in development, consider setting search engine visibility to ‘Off’ to prevent premature indexing by search engines.
3. Browser Compatibility: Inform previewers to view the site in different browsers to ensure compatibility.
4. Editing Access: If you need to allow another user to edit the site, add them as a contributor rather than sharing your admin credentials.

Practical Tips

1. Testing Functionality: Ask your previewers to test key functionalities like forms, links, and interactive elements to provide feedback on usability.
2. Gathering Feedback: Create a simple feedback form using tools like Google Forms or directly within Squarespace to collect structured feedback from previewers.
3. Consistent Updates: If you make changes to your site during the preview phase, inform your previewers to refresh the site to see the latest version.

By following these steps, you can effectively share a preview of your Squarespace site with others, ensuring that you receive valuable feedback before the official launch.
