vibe coding for squarespace
Become the Squarespacer
who can create anything.
Squarespace can do more than ever before. This is about everything that it can't.
A countdown timer. A blog sidebar. A full hero banner inside an event page. A horizontal tab section. A custom loading screen. Clients ask for features like these constantly, and there is no design panel setting that builds them.
This program will teach you how to direct AI and build custom Squarespace features yourself.
You'll learn how Squarespace is structured, get working literacy in the three languages behind it, and turn both into a repeatable workflow you can use on every project. Everything here is concise, practical, and built for real client work.

Overview
Your client can generate briefs, code, and feedback. Here you'll learn to assess what they bring, guide their decisions, and price work where judgment, not hours, is what matters.
Lessons
Assess the brief: determine what's viable, what's not
Manage the feedback: when AI becomes creative director
Price the judgment: what clients buy when execution's cheap

A training program for the designer who is ready for more.
You build in Squarespace and you have met the ceiling of what the design panel will give you. You have asked AI for the rest and gotten something close, something broken, or something you weren't confident enough to publish.
You do not need to know how to code. You do need to be willing to read the output, judge it, and direct it. That’s exactly what you’ll learn in this program.
"Yes - I can create that in Squarespace"
YOU, TO EVERY CLIENT FROM NOW ON

Vicki wanted to develop her own plugins.
Sometimes AI would hand me the right code in minutes. Sometimes I'd be at it for hours, give up, and go pay for a plugin instead. That's the frustration that made me join Beyond the Basics; I needed to understand Squarespace from the back end, beginning to end.

Catherine wanted to stay relevant in the AI era.
I joined because I'm trying to position myself for whatever is about to come. I've learned so much just from being a fly on the wall watching everyone talk. Seeing Becca work real problems in real time; that is very valuable.

The Live Vibe is where inspiration and participation meet.
Bring one thing you've never been able to build & we’ll work it live, together.

You can, and you'll get code you can't diagnose on a platform the model doesn't fully understand. The skill you're investing in is structure and judgment: knowing what to ask for, how to read what comes back, and whether it's safe to ship.
