PORTFOLIOS & COURSES
Working with Courses (updated 7/29/2026):
Courses are available on all Squarespace plan levels — the tutorial library itself is built using the course feature
Course structure — overview/landing page + chapters (or modules) + individual lessons; organized like a blog or events collection
Overview page — fully editable with sections and blocks; toggle thumbnails, excerpts, button styles, and spacing in Edit Layout; colors adjusted in Site Styles
Adding content:
Add chapters (just a title/label) to organize lessons
Add lessons with a title, description, URL slug, thumbnail, and optional full-screen lesson video
Lessons can be published, scheduled, or saved as drafts
Lesson pages run on a modified Fluid Engine layout — add sections below the lesson header; course navigation panel can be moved left or right
Video options for lessons:
Native lesson video field (YouTube or Vimeo recommended over direct upload)
Embed block for other platforms like Loom (paste embed code as a code snippet)
Video block added as a section below the lesson header
Save and reuse sections — configure a lesson layout you like, save the sections, then drop them into new lessons and just swap out the content
Monetization — add a pricing plan (fixed price, subscription, or free) to gate course content
⭐ Core advice: courses take significant effort to build but are a great way to share techniques, process, or skills with your audience — especially if you want to create a passive income stream
