Creating your Squarespace Account2:04
Free Trial and Subscription (Explained)1:00
Squarespace starts you off with a 14-day free trial so you can try building a website and see if it's something you want to continue using. You don't need to enter any payment information to create your account, which is awesome. With the free trial, your website is considered private until you do sign-up for a paid plan. So technically, no one will be able to visit your website except for you. However, this gives you the opportunity to try out their website builder before spending any money.
