Edit your Squarespace site on the go with their new mobile app!
Betcha didn’t know they finally released a mobile site-editor app, did ya?
It happened in early 2019 with a beta release I got to be part of. I got to submit feedback & help them work out some bugs and now it’s available for the public.
FINALLY.

The app is meant for users who are already familiar with Squarespace, so it’ll be easiest to use for people who already have a Squarespace site & are used to using the platform.
In fact, the app doesn’t include support for several things you might expect, but those features are being planned & will be included in future updates, per Squarespace’s site (👈🏻 check that link for the latest updates/info for the app).
Anything you can’t do in the app is still available on desktop as normal, of course.
