I LOVE this course! First, Puno's humor kept me engaged and wanting to finish each lesson. Second, I loved that we had to build a few very different websites in order to grasp Squarespace's functionalities. I already knew how to use the platform but this course helped me to understand pretty much all of the different functions I didn't even know I could use/do. Third, the content within the course is worth every single penny because we learn about the design process, freelancing, development, and creativity. It was very well paced, directly to the point yet very informative.
Read MoreThis course suited my learning style so perfectly. It pushed me creatively while also giving me the freedom to work on the course at my own pace and pick any dream client to design for. Puno is such a fun instructor and I felt supported every step of the way by her teaching and the amazing TAs.
Read MoreI took the Squarespace Design Course to learn more about Squarespace features and feel more comfortable using the platform. I loved discovering my own style along the way - including a ton of (unexpected) knowledge and growth in typography, color palettes, font pairings and more. Resources section alone is a reason to sign up for this course. Plus, I was able to use all my learnings to relaunch my personal website.
Read MoreI was doing Squarespace websites for clients but had reached my limits of my design ability and felt restrained in the Squarespace ecosystem. I knew I needed to level up and become more polished and stretch how I thought of the platform. The creativity the course sparked in me, and how hard it pushed my design ability was my fav. thing about the course. It was truly the web design stretch I needed – exactly what I was looking for!
Read MoreThis course is so accessible and has changed my life. I cannot thank you ENOUGH for creating this space, you have a team of badass folks who have shown more personal interest in me as a student than any of my professors/teachers since maybe like 3rd grade. This is unreal. Crying real taco tears.
Read MoreThe Squarespace Design Course was probably the most fun I have ever had learning. The overall design of the course was pretty to look at, Puno is a hilarious, ultra-engaging educator and the online community made it feel like I was actually sitting in a classroom with other students. - My favorite thing about graduating from the Squarespace course was feeling like I added an extra (important, moolah making) tool to my tool belt; and like I had a whole second brain filled with knowledge on design and coding.
Read MoreVery grateful that ilovecreatives put this course out into the world because it's allowed me to tap into an industry I would have had no clue where to start with to get to the next level. Now it’s time to start creating.
Read MoreThis is 100% the most enjoyable course I’ve ever taken. I usually lose interest quickly in self-paced courses, but surprised myself by staying on track because the content was engaging and I was excited to learn more. I was a total web design newbie when I started and its crazy to think what I was able to create by the end of the course. I also loved watching Puno’s feedback videos on other student’s projects and previous Office Hours; doing that itself taught me so much on how to analyze design. The Discord community is very supportive in case you need any help and its great to connect with other students and creatives. If you are on the fence about taking this course I would highly recommend it, its worth every penny!
Read MoreWithin a month of taking the course, I already created 3+ websites which helped me become a better and faster designer. The assignments are very intentional. Puno & the team really encourages you to think outside the box and put on your creative/troubleshooting hat! Also, the community in Discord is always there for you whether you have questions or have a low-key breakdown.
Read MoreLove love love the video format, working at your own pace, and help on the community. I'm only on the first section, but I really am excited again about creating websites, for myself and others.
The price tag might seem a bit scary, but once you get your course work and you see all the time and effort, as well as the help you get, it is such a good value.
Read MoreMy favorite thing about this course is PUNO and the funny sounds she make lolol and of course the material is very helpful and fun to learn! So far, I feel more put together and I see myself looking forward to investing time each day to learn, which I didn’t see myself really doing in college.
Read MoreI loved doing this course, and I'm so excited about the sites I can create now with what I've learned, so THANK YOU!
Read MoreI loved the community when I started the course; so loving and supportive. But if we're talking SDC content, I got so much satisfaction from accomplishing my 3.2 and 3.3 websites, as that's the point when I got to make informed decisions based on the knowledge from the first two chapters of the course. This is not my first time trying to make websites in Squarespace but it's my first time not giving up because I actually knew what I was doing throughout. I'm truly impressed by this course, the community, and the ever-growing resources section. Thank you!
Read MoreThe course levels break down the learning process into manageable chunks, and the support from the ilovereatives team and other course members on the Discord channel is worth its weight in gold. Having someone be able to take a look at your work and offer advice or solutions when you're creatively stuck or just can't figure out the code was great. This isn't some static, work-on-your-own kind of course, it's a whole community of creatives.
Read MoreI took the Squarespace Course and LOVED it! And I love graphic design and knew I would learn a lot during the course. It is worth the money and you will learn a lot! I love the way Puno teaches. If you get confused just watch the videos over and over again or ask a question on discord!
Read MoreThe Squarespace Design Course is honestly the most fun and rewarding yet intensive online course I’ve done to date. It allowed me to build on my skills and gradually have the confidence to make websites myself -- with a discord community that has yo back, keeps you accountable to finish the course, and you, a creative slashie and mentor, guiding us each step of the waaaay!! This opened new opportunities for me (I sh*t you not!) I just have to keep on following through and not lose that 🌈 momentum 🌈 !!
Read MoreCome for the gamification. Stay for the community.
I've taken (and abandoned) more online courses than I care to admit. And hands down, the Squarespace Design Course has been my favorite online course of all time.
Previously, I had designed websites and handed them over to a dev team and had no idea how they came to life. Starting freelancing, I knew most of my potential clients couldn't afford my services AND a developer, so I wanted to figure out how I could serve that market. I also wanted a portfolio site I actually liked. I'd tried and failed to hack Squarespace on my own before. The go-at-your-own-pace, enticed by milestones, surrounded by community structure of the ilovecreative's course was the perfect way to get going. I was able to put my learnings to use before I even finished the course! It helped me think a lot more critically about UX/UI in my work. And, the resources and Slack channels alone are worth the cost.
Read MoreThis course blew me away! During the last decade, I worked with WordPress which annoyed me increasingly. I like the clean-looking Squarespace websites and decided to learn the fundamentals thoroughly - so glad I have found Puno's course. Puno’s and Gabriel’s constructive critiques are so helpful - their detailed review gave me a better understanding of the design process. Thank you for this well-structured course.
Read MoreThe major difference between the ilovecreatives Squarespace Design Course and other e-courses, beside the whole FUN vibe, is that they have identified the critical pain points of e-learning and offer great solutions for all these blockades. Every time I’m stuck and frustrated with a piece of code that doesn’t work, I know there is an incredibly friendly and supportive community (fellow students + teachers) I can reach out to. When life get in the way, and I’m having trouble making time for my class, I go back to reading their tips to jump back on the wagon. And, last but not least, to all my peers suffering from the shiny object syndrome, well, this course is so engaging (read here: gamification) and progress is so immediate, that the only shiny thing is the learning curve and your own pride. Proof: I haven’t started another e-class since this one ;)
Overall, it’s a very complete platform with incredible resources about the whole freelancing experience. Something I haven’t found in any other learning platform. The ilovecreatives community is a safe, inclusive, and positive space that meets you where you are on your creative journey and empowers you to expand your skills.
