Accessing and sharing a trial site

Your Squarespace site is private during your trial. Site owners and contributors can log in to view or edit the site. Other visitors find the owner login page when they try to visit. You can share your site with others by using a site-wide password.

This guide explains how to log into a trial site and how to set up visitor access with a password.

Enter your site's URL in a browser. You can find this URL in the "Welcome to Squarespace" email we sent when you started your trial.

Click log in.

Log in using your login credentials. For other login methods, visit Logging into Squarespace.

As you build your trial site, you may want to ask friends and family to visit the site and offer feedback. To share the site with others, you can add a password. This way, your visitors don't require editing permissions to test out your site.

After you set a password, you can share your trial site with others by sending them your built-in domain. Ensure the built-in domain you send doesn't have /config at the end. You can find your built-in domain in your browser's address bar while logged in to your site.

Your trial site remains hidden from search engines while there's a password in place. When you’re ready to publish your site to all visitors, start by upgrading to paid service.
