Especially if you use a plugin like SEOSpace to help optimize blogs for SEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll talk more about SEOSpace in a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s get started with the 6 quick steps for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crazyegg.com\/blog\/how-to-create-a-website\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how to build a personal website<\/a> on Squarespace.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

Pick a template that matches the style and tone you believe fits your personal brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want a portfolio-style website, look for templates under the Portfolio or Personal &amp; CV categories. These usually have clean layouts that make it easy to showcase who you are and what you do<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three of the personal websites on our best-of list\u2014Jess, Sofia, and Amarachi&#8217;s\u2014are hosted on Squarespace!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can preview any template live before you commit to it.

Pick one or two fonts to use throughout the site\u2014no more than two, though, or you&#8217;ll overwhelm web visitors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a color palette that matches your vibe or default to the Squarespace black-and-white with an accent color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add your name or logo to the header, create a short but compelling bio, and set up a simple navigation menu.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All you need are a few buttons: Home, About, Work, and Contact, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you create your design, look at our 5 example websites for inspiration and guidance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Add Your Pages and Content<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Create the 3\u20134 core pages you need. For a personal website, there are just a few essentials:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Home:<\/strong> A brief introduction and links to the rest of the site. Use this space to speak to your personality, like the 5 example websites do.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>About:<\/strong> Who you are, what you do, and a bit of your story.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Portfolio or Work:<\/strong> A showcase of projects, clients, writing, your resume, or anything you\u2019re proud of.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Contact:<\/strong> Email, social media buttons, and a contact form (super easy to add in Squarespace).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep all the copy short and skimmable. It should be easy for web visitors to see what you\u2019re all about from the moment they land on your page.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They shouldn\u2019t have to wade through a bunch of text to understand who you are and what you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Connect a Custom Domain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your site looks good, it\u2019s time to give it a proper home on the internet. You can easily buy a custom domain directly through Squarespace or connect one you already own.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We 100% recommend buying a custom domain. It boosts your credibility and gives you full ownership of your site. Instead of <strong>yourname.squarespace.com<\/strong>, you&#8217;ll have <strong>yourname.com<\/strong>\u2014clean, easy to share, and totally yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stick with something simple and clean, like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/yourname.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">yourname.com<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>yourname.co<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>yournameportfolio.com (if your name is already taken)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>My Squarespace website is just <a href=\"https:\/\/lauraojedamelchor.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lauraojedamelchor.com<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Easy peasy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Set Up SEO Basics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Squarespace has built-in tools for SEO (search engine optimization), but in my experience, they don&#8217;t get you very far. All you really get with those built-ins is a place to write a meta description, SEO title, and slug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I use a Squarespace plugin called SEOSpace to help optimize every single page on my site so it\u2019s easy for search engines to index.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can do basic SEOSpace scans of your site with a free plan. SEOSpace will give your page an overall SEO score and offer ways to improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On my website, <a href=\"https:\/\/lauraojedamelchor.com\/seo-writing-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">my Services page<\/a> has a 91\/100 score for SEO. Before I optimized it with SEOSpace, it was at 40\/100.
