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.

take your skills

beyond the basics

  • OVERVIEW

    Design menus are the surface of Squarespace. Here you'll dig into the site architecture underneath and learn to extract exactly what you need to bring an idea to life.

    LESSONS

    1. How Squarespace is built: the core code and the container system

    2. The design menus, mapped: every option for every content type

  • OVERVIEW

    This is where it comes together. With the structure and the languages in hand, you'll learn to turn concepts into functional, Squarespace-ready code faster than ever.

    LESSONS

    1. Your prompt system: teaching AI the structure and language of Squarespace

    2. The feedback loop: getting to working code in fewer rounds

    3. Test, diagnose, ship: how to know AI output is safe before it goes live

Lessons

  1. How Squarespace is built: the core code and the container system
  2. The design menus, mapped: every option for every content type

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.

A training program for the designer who is ready for more.

"Yes - I can create that in Squarespace"

YOU, TO EVERY CLIENT FROM NOW ON

A note from Christy….

I first met Becca back in 2019, when we were both building businesses around Squarespace. As tends to happen in this community, we never treated each other as competitors. We shared openly, and I've learned a ton from her over the years. She's become one of the people I count on most in this work.

Becca's superpower is making Squarespace do things that aren't built in. Even better, she has a gift for taking something that looks complicated and making it feel doable.

This program is the perfect fit for anyone who wants to add features or design to Squarespace with code but doesn't think of themselves as a coder.

We're fully in the "if you can dream it, you can make it" era, and Becca is exactly the guide you want for it.

real designer feedback

  • 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

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 see what gets asked, what comes back wrong, and what to change so the next round lands closer. Working real client problems together helps us apply what Beyond the Basics teaches, and has been called “the most inspiring part of the program” by current students.

The next Live Vibe Sessions will be on Thursday, September 10, at 10:00 AM Pacific and 3:00 PM Pacific

All Live Vibes are recorded and the original chat links archived, so you can pick up the conversation at anytime.

$500. Lifetime access.

Enrollment closes on Tuesday, September 8 at 11:59pm Pacific.
Enroll during this window and you'll be able to join the next Live Vibe Sessions.

Answers to questions you might have

  • No. You need to be comfortable in the Squarespace editor. The course teaches you to read and direct code, with AI doing the heavy lifting on the writing.

  • No. There are no lessons on replicating trends. This is advanced customization and code judgment, the part most courses skip.

  • Describing a design and/or function that you want a website to have in conversational language and directing AI to write the code, while you stay in charge of whether it is any good.

  • No. This update is free, included in your lifetime access. Check your inbox for more information, or reach out to support@insidethesquare.co directly.

  • No, and using Custom Codey means you're halfway there. Codey helps you create custom styles for what Squarespace gives you. This program teaches you to build features that dont currently exist.

  • You’ll get access to the course content immediately after purchase. Live Vibe session records are available for students within 48 hours. of the session.

  • 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.

  • All of the Live Vibe sessions are recorded. Replays are posted to your student only event section within 48 hours, and a link to the archived AI chat from the call is also shared.

  • NO - the term Squarespace is a trademark of Squarespace, Inc. This program is not affiliated with Squarespace Inc.

  • Two payments of $270, one month apart. It's the same lifetime access, split in two. Not a subscription, and nothing recurs after the second payment.

If you've ever stared at a client request and thought "I have no idea how to build that," this is the program that turns the answer into yes.

I can't wait to see what you make!
