If you do any type of online marketing then you probably know that a robust email list is among the most powerful tools. A lot of focus is placed on driving traffic to your website, but once visitors are there, you'll want to capture their details for future marketing.
Squarespace websites have some of the most elegant and user-friendly templates out there, and they’re especially popular with creative freelancers for just that reason. Sometimes, though, the widgets and blocks used to build Squarespace sites require creative workarounds to get just the level of customization you want.
All 5 techniques are possible with only a very basic working knowledge of Squarespace, and only two of them require custom code — but fear not! You’ll literally get the exact code you need to copy/paste so the process is entirely foolproof.
