Guest ElizabethJ Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Hello, I would like to know what are the customization limits on coding level in SquareSpace for our Dental Clinic website? Can we do everything like we do on self hosted wordpress platform? Is there any migration guide or checklist from WordPress to Squarespace? Also, can we create custom landing pages for promotional purpose only without default header? Thank You Link to comment

paul2009 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 @ElizabethJ Squarespace is a website builder platform, not hosting. This offers many advantages over WordPress and the like, but there are some limitations as a result. In terms of code, you can add frontend code using JavaScript and CSS, or turn on Developer Mode and build pages using JSON-T - losing all maintenance updates from Squarespace. You cannot amend backend code, which means you cannot fundamentally change the way Squarespace works. For example, you cannot amend the checkout or add alternative methods of payment to the built-in commerce features. About me: I've been a SQSP User for 18 yrs. I was invited to join the Circle when it launched in 2016. I have been a Circle Leader since 2017. I don't work for Squarespace. I value honesty, transparency, diversity and good design ♥. Work: I founded and run SF.DIGITAL, building Squarespace Extensions to supercharge your commerce website. Content: Views and opinions are my own.
