This class is no longer available. Here's why.
For six years, Intro to CSS was the class I ran the most. Thousands of people came through it. If you signed up, you probably remember why, CSS used to be the difference between a Squarespace site that looked like everyone else's and one that looked like yours.
That's not true anymore.
Squarespace 7.1 keeps adding native design controls that used to require code. Fluid Engine made layout customization visual. The platform genuinely doesn't need as much CSS as it used to, and that's a good thing. Custom code was always a workaround.
And the parts that still need code? AI writes it better than most humans, and faster than anyone. Which means the skill that mattered six years ago isn't the skill that matters now.
So the class retired. Not because CSS stopped mattering, but because what people actually needed it for changed.
Where to go from here depends on what you were trying to do:
-
If you wanted to learn CSS to build your own site
You’ll rarely need CSS. Squarespace can do almost everything you wanted CSS to do, natively, visually, without code.
If the thing that's been slowing you down is a lack of code knowledge, I’ love to teach you about the new features built into Squarespace first.
Squarespace Made Simple is the course I built for that exact situation.
Nine lessons, no code, $27. It teaches you how to make Squarespace do what you want, the way it's now built to do it.
-
If you wanted to learn CSS for client work
You still need code sometimes. The difference is you don't need to write it yourself. I created the first ever AI powered code generator for Squarespace, Custom Codey.
You describe what you want, it writes the code. It knows the platform, it knows the selectors, it knows what works in 7.0 vs 7.1.
it’s built to work with your preferred AI (Claude, Gemini , or ChatGPT) There is no subscription cost or licensing fee. It’s a one time cost of $30 and I use it on every site I build now.
