How to quickly & easily create a Squarespace website. In this video I explain how I built my Squarespace photography portfolio website in a matter of hours.
As a professional photographer visual quality and the presentation of my work is paramount – in this tutorial I reveal my most important photography website requirements. I demonstrate how the Squarespace website system answers all my questions but also makes life easier by handling all the technical stuff I don’t need to know!
With never ending technological and Internet advancements (not to mention the ever changing way in which we all browse the Internet), it’s absolutely crucial your website portfolio is up to speed. I don’t know about you but in the past my website concerns have been things like:-
* How quickly can I add more images and galleries to my site?
* How big do I need to make my photos before uploading to my portfolio?
(I don’t want images too small, yet again I don’t want to break the Internet with file sizes that take an eternity to download.)
* What happens next time Google does an update – will my website disappear from the search engine listings?
* How will my website look on new mobile devices?
* How do I change my website design? – Do I need to pay a website developer again?
* Will my website developer be on holiday next time I need help?
Luckily, Squarespace answered all my website worries – and passed them with flying colors! Watch this tutorial where I reveal all this and also show you the design interface and many of the other functions that make this simply the best and most efficient website platform for creative portfolios.

Would you be interested in building a website for me? Thanks.
Hi Karl,
Thanks for sharing your experience about the way you approach your work via a website .
I'm thinking putting my work up to the screen , and square space seems to be an effective option, but …templates… so much of them . Can you give me an advice to choose a simple and direct (and clear !) one such as yours ?
By advance thanks .
Regards, Nicolas .
How much to pay?
Hi! Does Squarespace offer right-click/image grab protection?
Basically sold before i've finished watching! Have to say your work looks incredible too, cheers for this.
Can I use any template for my photography page, or is it better to use a design made for photography?
How can we trust you if you use the mouse with your left hand?! Just kidding thank you for the video it answered all of my questions.
Hi Karl, thanks for great info on how to use Wells from Squarespace.
Interesting videos.
Found the answers for how to making your new awesome frontpage in your Squarespace in another video…

Nice & Thank you 🙂
Karl Great Show very informative .. I was hoping you would cover printing of your images. Last I knew Squarespace did not offer a print service to cover that aspect of ecommerce .. Can you incorporate a lab service within your web site or how best to handle getting the order filled and prints delivered for someone who does not do their own printing!! Love your stuff and have watched a lot of them, always right on the money and great information! Thanks so much. JATillard, Spring Hill, FL, USA
Hi Karl
Can you help? I currently have a Wix site which I am looking to change to Squarespace two questions do I need to pay for the site and for my domain name? Or just one price per month? Also if I change my template will my address change? I have read some reviews that the customer service from them is not good, why is your experience with them
Thanks Karl
Jon
Hello Karl, what monitor are you using here? Is it good for retouching?
Thanks, awesome content!
Thank you so much, very informative…
Hi Karl, i contacted SquareSpace a couple of months ago , i asked about Domain transfer , since all my domain , files and emails are there, they replied that they have the domain transfer option now! while in your video you said you can have your domain and email linked to it, can you elaborate please?!
Thanks
Does Squarespace allow you to make private galleries for clients to view, that the rest of the world can't? Been looking on their site, but I don't see any reference to the feature.
Hey Karl, first, thanks for all your hard work, you've been an inspiration to me. I've been planning a new website for some time and Square Space looks like a good service. My question is, I notice that the pics on your site do not have any watermark, copyright or signature. I realize they are low resolution, but they are still usable in many scenarios. Why no protection? And do you advise against such protective measures? (I have had photos stolen in the past so now use watermarks, copyright and signatures.) Thanks in advance.
You are right! Last week I signed in for a website of my own with your code…!!!
I love Square space and would never use another system now.
Yep, those bad boys are expensive. They used to make a dedicated Nikon one but it's discontinued now. I got an Epson 850Pro and it scans prints fine but I (for some reason) cannot get the Silverfish scanning software to work properly 🙁 I'm trying to see if you can scan directly into Lightroom 5.
Hi Karl, do you send out your old slide & negative work to a certain place to get scanned or do you use a film/slide scanner?
What template did you use that allows the mosaic theme?
