How to make a website - Your 90 min Masterclass in building a FULL Squarespace 7.1 site
The 90-Minute Squarespace Masterclass: Build a Complete Website in One Session
Want to see exactly how a professional Squarespace website gets built from start to finish? This intensive 90-minute masterclass takes you through the entire process in real-time. No editing, no shortcuts - just the complete, unfiltered experience of building a beautiful, functional website.
This isn't theory or quick tips. You'll watch as we build a real website for Ivy Wright, making actual design decisions, solving real problems, and creating a polished final product. Perfect for visual learners who understand best by seeing the full workflow rather than disconnected tutorials.
What Happens in 90 Minutes
We start with a blank Squarespace site and strategic planning. You'll see how to approach a new project, make structural decisions, and plan before diving into design. This planning phase alone will change how you build websites.
Then we build. Watch as the homepage takes shape - hero sections, compelling copy placement, image selection and optimisation, and calls-to-action that convert. Every block added, every spacing adjustment, every colour choice gets explained as it happens.
Essential pages come next. We create an about page that connects with visitors, a services or portfolio section that showcases work effectively, and a contact page with working forms. You'll see how pages relate to each other and create a cohesive journey.
Design consistency matters, so we dive deep into Site Styles. Watch as we establish typography, create a colour palette, style buttons and forms, and ensure everything feels cohesive. These aren't random choices - you'll understand the reasoning behind each decision.
Navigation and user experience get serious attention. We structure menus logically, create clear pathways, optimise for mobile devices, and ensure visitors can find what they need instantly. Good navigation is invisible - you'll learn how to achieve that.

The Real-World Difference
This masterclass shows you the messy middle that other tutorials skip. You'll see troubleshooting in action, design decisions getting revised, and the iterative process of creating something great. It's not always perfect on the first try, and that's exactly what you need to see.
Watch workflow techniques that save hours - keyboard shortcuts, copying blocks efficiently, using the asset library properly, and organising your work for maximum speed. These time-savers compound across every site you build.
Who This Masterclass Is For
Perfect for Squarespace beginners wanting to see the complete process, designers learning Squarespace for client work, entrepreneurs building their first business site, anyone who's watched scattered tutorials but never seen it all connect, or creatives who learn best by watching rather than reading.
What You'll Walk Away With
After 90 minutes, you'll understand the complete website building workflow, have seen real design decisions explained in context, know how to structure projects from planning to launch, feel confident tackling your own website build, and possess troubleshooting skills for common issues.
This isn't about memorising steps. It's about understanding the process so deeply that you can adapt it to any project. You'll think like a designer, not just follow instructions.
Why Watch the Full 90 Minutes?
Short tutorials teach you what buttons to click. This masterclass teaches you how to think. The value isn't in any single moment - it's in seeing how everything connects, flows, and builds into something cohesive. Context matters.
Your Next Step
