Need support; moving sites and new setup

I have 3 domains and they are on Squarespace, and I want to forward 2 of them to one of them. I know longer need to have 2 separate websites. I will still own the domains, but only have to host and monitor and update one actual website. Part of what complicates it is this: I am already forwarding the domain I want to keep using to one of the other ones. Let's call the domain I will actually keep an active site on as Site A.

Currently site A is forwarding/redirecting to Site B. I want to keep the information and everything about Site B but have the primary website that you type in, as Site A. Is this possible? Can I copy the info into a new site at Site A, from B? Or can I somehow change the actual address from B to A?

I have tried reaching customer service with no luck...

Worst Domain Registrar

★☆☆☆☆
Squarespace is the worst domain registrar I have ever dealt with.
I never chose them. Google moved my domain there.
I asked one basic question before my domain expired:
“When does my grace period start and end?”
Nobody could answer. My ticket was passed from team to team while the clock kept ticking.
By the time they finally reacted, my domain had entered redemption and I was expected to pay even more.
A company that cannot answer a basic question about its own domain system should not be managing anyone’s domains.
Stay away. Move your domain elsewhere while you still can.

Missing the "Duplicate Page" link! It was there, now gone!

https://preview.redd.it/x76vb7he6jah1.png?width=1456&format=png&auto=webp&s=ce4ae47813d0813980f72241d260fde37bea8e87

Missing the "Duplicate Page' link. It was there and now it's not. I have admin privileges, the owner doesn't have the "Duplicate Page' link either. I had it and then when the account was transferred to current owner, it's now gone. I can't add anything new to the site, only edit current pages. ugh! Please help. Squarespace chat keeps telling me how to duplicate a page and is not solving the problem. I entered a ticket but have not heard back.

This is the site: https://www.kiawahartcollective.com/

I built an AI website builder because watching my friend pay Squarespace forever broke my brain

A few months ago I was helping my friend migrate her business site off Squarespace because she was paying $200/year for something she'd opened twice in three years. That was the third friend or family member I'd done this for. I realised the problem isn't the tools, it's the pricing model. Hosting and AI inference both got dramatically cheaper, but website builders never re-priced.

So I built kwaku. You describe what you want in a sentence ("portfolio for a Lagos photographer, dark mode, contact form that emails me"), the AI agent writes the whole site, and you own it forever for $30 once. No monthly. You can export the files and leave whenever.

It scales beyond static sites too. If you ask for something that needs a backend ("add comments visitors can post", "build me a booking system with an admin panel"), kwaku spins up a full Next.js + database app in its own container for you. Same pricing, same ownership.

Built solo. Live at https://kwaku.app/ Free to try, 25 edits, no card.

Google Workspace help

Hi, I had to cancel my Google Workspace as I couldn't access it (stupidly changed the address before set up and never got a new temp password). I cancelled and removed the DNS records. I have attempted to purchase a new plan and keep getting a payment error.

And this msg:

We couldn't connect Google Workspace to your domain.

Your domain is already connected to a Google Workspace account. Most likely, someone already registered this domain through Google or another reseller. Try another domain, or follow Google’s instructions to remove this domain from its existing Google Workspace account.

Can anyone advise please? I'm probably being very stupid. Thanks

Squarespace store doesn't support multiple currencies! Looking for solutions and/or alternative e-commerce providers, because this is such an important feature

You'd expect there to be a script that automatically adjust the currency (and value) based on the customer's location, like we're used to seeing on virtually any other online store in 2026. At the very least, a drop-down menu where the customer selects their location and currency themselves. But no.

You can choose to switch currency in the settings and it will display that to every visitor - my store is in my local currency (CZK), which naturally looks confusing to my mainly American and EU customers, who likely never even heard of my Czech koruna.

I can switch to one other currency, but not multiple. So even switching to EUR means that my American visitors will see Euro prices or vice versa. Grabbing a customer's attention and providing the simplest, quickest interaction possible is essential to running a store front. Any hiccup, any extra work they have to do, likely means that you will lose them as a customer, since there are thousands of other stores that do it better.

And even if I bite the bullet and decide to go for either Euro or US Dollar, switching to a different currency is not easy at all - the only thing it does is change the name of the currency, but the numerical value remains the same. It's then up to you to calculate the conversion and adjust each price for each item manually! In case of a clothes store, you can imagine the pain of going through each item, each size variation...

There's not even a function to show a drop-down menu or a splash page where the visitor selects their location and currency, since the ENTIRE STOREFRONT is limited to only ONE currency.

It's baffling and absolutely inadequate. Squarespace support simply told me that they mentioned this to the developers in hopes of adding this feature in the future, but quite frankly I already feel a little bit scammed, having built and stocked my whole store in Squarespace only to realize that this essential feature is simply missing.

Anyone else struggling with severe layout issues in Squarespace lately?

Is anyone else suddenly having major issues editing their Squarespace site lately?

I'm on Squarespace 7.1 and elements keep randomly shifting, resizing, and rearranging themselves while I'm editing. It happens across multiple pages and even on new pages. I've tested different browsers and devices with the same result.

Disabling Fluid Engine doesn't help, the issue is still happening and it's making my site nearly impossible to work on. I have never had so much trouble before :(

Has anyone found a fix, or is this a known bug?

Looking for Honest Critiques on My Photography & Creative Portfolio

Hey everyone,

I recently built my portfolio website on Squarespace and would love some honest feedback.

MikoloSchlanger.com

I’m a photographer, videographer, editor, and designer, and I built the site myself. Looking for genuine critiques on the overall design, user experience, presentation of the work, and anything that could be improved.

Don’t hold back—I’d rather hear what isn’t working than only what is.

Thanks!

Domain help pls

I work for a non-profit that uses Squarespace. My boss is wondering if we can purchase a second domain - to "reserve" it for future use. I'm a little confused - I was under the impression that Squarespace provides domains (with that ".squarespace.com" at the end) and that you can also purchase domains with ".org" or something at the end. However, our website is connected to GoDaddy and I confirmed we pay a monthly subscription. Can someone explain to me very simply how this stuff works so I can check off this task and explain it to my boss? Thank you in advance!!

entire website ruined because I edited a single image?

Desperate for help right now, I edited ONE image on my website and somehow the entire formatting got wonky. On every page publicly, every single text is bolded now. however in editing mode, none of that is the case. I can't even fix it because it isn't ACTUALLY bold - it's just showing up that way, it looks horrendous. help. lol

Alternative Member Areas for Squarespace

Hey all. I’m a software engineer and been asked to build a site for a friend. Classic “you know IT” guy as I am not great with websites.

I’m not going to spend too much time on it as they are paying me basically nothing which is fine

But from what I’ve seen with the member areas on squarespace, they seem to take a big cut. The course being say £300, and this is a series of say 10 videos, do one unlocks the other and so fourth, and then they take about £30?

Anybody know the simplest and cost effective way to do this ? Any suggestions welcome as I am a squarespace newb.

Thanks all

Is Claude really better than Squarespace or Wix to build your own website?

Ten years ago, I already built 1 or 2 websites using Squarespace and Wix. Now I'm looking to build a website again, and over the past few months, my timeline has been flooded with videos and articles about how people are building their sites with Claude. But is that really better than using a website builder?

I don't actually need a really complicated site. It just needs a homepage with some information about services, the team, and the usual stuff. I also need 2 landing pages for ad leads in two different languages.

The only complex part would be an integration with a tool where people can book appointments. Could that be coded from scratch, or is it a bad idea due to data privacy and functionality reasons?

What is your experience? Does this kind of thing work out well with vibe coding, or will it end up being more work and buggier than just using one of those website builders?

Is anyone else overusing FAQ accordions because of AI search?

I feel like I've accidentally created a new website design problem for myself.

I manage websites for multiple restaurant and hospitality brands, and over the last year I've started adding FAQ sections to a lot of pages because they seem helpful not only for visitors, but also for AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.

The problem is... every page is starting to look exactly the same.

Private dining pages. Catering pages. Event pages. Hotel pages. Date night guides. Things-to-do pages.

Everything is turning into:

  1. Intro content
  2. Photos
  3. Details
  4. Giant FAQ accordion at the bottom

I still think FAQs are valuable, but I'm starting to wonder if we've all collectively decided that "just add an FAQ section" is the answer to everything.

For those of you building and managing sites regularly:

  • Are you still relying heavily on FAQ accordions?
  • Are you weaving these answers throughout the page instead?
  • Have you found more interesting content patterns that still work well for discoverability?
  • Has AI changed how you structure pages at all?

I'm especially curious because this feels like we're in a weird transition period where FAQs have become both a UX tool and an AI discoverability tool.

Would love examples of what's working for others.

Banner Images Not Resizing For Mobile

Hello

The banner images on my site look great on desktop but are not resizing (width) when I look at my site on mobile. Basically can only see the middle of the banner images and not the full width.

Is there a way to fix this?

Question: Would you pay for this?

Hi! I'm exploring an idea and want real feedback before I build anything.

It would be a tool that builds a full website for your business where the output actually feels like your brand and is built around one specific goal, like getting leads, booking calls, or selling a product. The opposite of the generic AI look where every site has the same sections in the same order, the same filler copy, and the same gradients.

What I keep hearing is that the real problem with AI-built sites isn't that they look "AI," it's that they all feel interchangeable and don't actually do anything for the business. So I want to know if solving that is worth paying for.

Two questions:

  1. If a tool reliably gave you a site that felt custom to your brand and was built to hit one specific goal, would you pay for it, and roughly what per month feels fair?
  2. If no, what would actually make you use or buy something like this? What's the dealbreaker?

Any constructive response would be amazing! Thanks!

How to fix this "window crunch?"

This is my first time designing a website on Squarespace. So, my website looks fine when viewed as a full or wide screen, but if the window is smaller or crunched, it misaligns the text and images on my site as well. I'm just concerned about someone viewing this on a smaller window and thinking that my design work is sloppy and unprofessional when it only looks like this when the site isn't viewed in its intended state. How do I fix the elements here so it all looks nice regardless of window size and doesn't start overlapping each other when making the window smaller?
