Total novice when it comes to coding, and have hit a brick wall with what I want my site to do.
Here's my objective:
I want let different groups of users access different groups of pages - branded and specific to them, whilst hiding other pages which are not.
What I've tried so far:
- Putting a password on a landing page and then linking to non-passworded pages, but the non-passworded pages are obviously still searchable, so not exactly 'hidden'
- Created a site-wide password, but cannot see an option to select certain pages which are exempt from this - code maybe?
- Utilisiing customer accounts - this just stores purchase info, rather than giving permissions to different areas of the site (confirmed by SQ help)
- Looked into whether I can create a separate site/template and attach it to part of my original domain, in other words having two separate templates from one domain, one from yoursite.com, the other from yoursite/newpage.com for example - not had any success finding out whether this is possible
Does anyone know, if any of the above is possible? Is there a quick piece of code OI can insert into pages I want to be exempt from site wide password, if I can attach multiple templates to one domain? And, of course, if there is a better way to achieve what I want to achieve.
There is no perfect solution yet, but until Squarespace build this in as standard, there are a few third party options available. @sarah wrote a great article explaining the advantages and disadvantag
This isn't something you can do with Squarespace alone. If this is an essential feature you will be better off building this on another platform. If you already have a Squarespace website, you'll need

Hi,
Total novice when it comes to coding, and have hit a brick wall with what I want my site to do.
Here's my objective:
I want let different groups of users access different groups of pages - branded and specific to them, whilst hiding other pages which are not.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
