Ever noticed that quirky domain name Squarespace automatically assigns to your site? It might look something like wedge-tortoise-3xxl.squarespace.com. While it’s certainly unique, it's not exactly the most polished or memorable address for showcasing your work to clients, co-workers, or your boss.

Thankfully, Squarespace makes it easy to change this to a custom domain before connecting your own domain and going live. This is particularly helpful when you want to share your site with colleagues or potential clients for feedback, without making it public just yet.

Even if you're just on Squarespace's free trial, you can still share your work-in-progress with others. In this quick tip, I'll show you how to password-protect your Squarespace site so that people with the password can view it. It's a simple but powerful way to gather feedback and make sure your site is absolutely perfect before it goes live.

Ever noticed how clicking on links that jump you to different sections of your Squarespace site can feel a bit abrupt? That's the default behavior, but we can easily improve it.
