Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this web design class:

Squarespace is an amazing tool for entrepreneurs, bloggers, photographers, restaurants, and small business owners looking to build a beautifully designed website quickly and easily. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to choose a template, customize the look and feel of your website, lay out content, and leave with the beginnings of your very own website.

The wellbeing of our employees, students, clients, instructors, and guests is our number one priority here at General Assembly. We are monitoring the Coronavirus situation very carefully and will be adjusting delivery of our programs.

Due to the current health concerns in the greater Chicago area, all GA short-form (one day) classes, workshops and bootcamps from March 12 - March 31 will temporarily be held online - including this one.

Registered students will be notified 24 hours in advance of this program with information on how to log in to the Zoom Meeting Room and Slack messaging apps. Registration for this class will close 1 hour prior to class start in order to allow all students ample opportunity to have the technology enabled.

Please contact [email protected] if you have any questions or concerns.

Develop a functional understanding of Squarespace as it compares to other CMS options (i.e. WordPress)
Create a new beautifully designed 3-5 page website
Create and update basic web pages with different layouts
Understand fundamentals of Squarespace's SEO settings and how to optimize your site

Preparation
Students must bring a laptop to class.
Students will have the opportunity to create their own Squarespace site during class. You may come prepared with any photos and text to include on your site (recommended but not required).
This course will occur completely online using Zoom and Slack. You will need access to a laptop or computer with a working webcam and microphone as well as a strong internet connection. Pre-work and course set up information will be emailed to all students signed up around 24 hours before (and again an hour before) your course launches

School Notes:
For students enrolling in 12 week part time and immersive classes, it is not recommended that you book more than one class simultaneously.
