The 2025 holiday season will soon be here, bringing excitement and festive cheer. It is a wise decision to start planning for setting up attractive discounts and special sales for the holiday period, as well as for the time following the holidays. Thinking ahead and organizing these promotions now will ensure that you maximize your business opportunities during this busy season.

Having someone impersonate you or your business can cause serious brand damage. It risks eroding the trust you’ve worked hard to build with your clients. Scams also take time away from what matters — serving clients and growing your business — while forcing you to handle damage control.

When you invest in professional website design, you're not just getting a pretty website—you're getting:

• A strategic layout that speaks to your audience

• A mobile-optimized experience

• SEO best practices built in

• A custom design that grows with your brand

Squarespace has just released a mobile device update: you can now customize your website header specifically for the mobile view. This is a major enhancement for mobile optimization and design flexibility.

Squarespace continues to roll out new features that make website management easier and more effective—especially when it comes to search engine optimization (SEO). One of their latest additions is an AI-powered SEO tool that helps you analyze your website and identify areas where SEO improvements can be made.

This tool is a game-changer for anyone who wants to improve their website's visibility but isn’t quite sure where to start.

One helpful feature that’s gained more importance recently is the ability to easily integrate QR codes. QR codes have become essential tools for small businesses and non-profits because they bridge the gap between the physical and digital world. Whether it’s on a flyer, postcard, product tag, or event signage, QR codes let people quickly scan and be taken directly to a webpage for more information.

A new feature from Squarespace has just been released to 7.0 and 7.1 websites.

The Home Menu has been changed to create one single entry point for website editing.

Shape blocks enhance your website design by adding different shapes in various colors.

This is a feature I have been waiting for - Text Highlight! Text Highlight allows you to add additional emphasis to your text, sentences, and whole paragraphs. This means you can now underline, cross out, circle, and more in several ways and even animate.

Another new Squarespace feature.

Sections Dividers are a fun new feature to change the bottom of a section from a straight line to a different shape. There are a few different shapes to select at this time and you can even customize the width, height, and alignment. There are so many new possibilities on a webpage.

Squarespace has yet another new feature.

This new Asset Library feature is great. It is listed on the Home Menu of all Squarespace websites. You can upload a picture or many pictures at once. You can even add folders to help sort the images.

I have been waiting and hoping for something like this within the Squarespace platform! Squarespace has added saved sections you can use within the pages of the website.

Squarespace has a new content editor for block sections within pages. The editor that we have been most comfortable with is now called Classic Editor and the new editor is called Fluid Engine. Fluid Engine brings a new flexible design grid system gives you so many possibilities to create the website you envision.
