Squarespace Launches Courses To Improve Online Training

Squarespace announced the launch of Courses, a tool for building, promoting and selling professional quality training courses online. Squarespace calls it “an effortless way to create and sell courses with Squarespace’s premium look and feel.”

Courses offers entrepreneurs a new way to connect with their audience. It provides the tools to easily create and monetize learning content separated into lessons, chapters, and supplementary materials.

Squarespace offers a number of readily available and customizable templates and can host a variety of resources, including text, images, audio, video, and other downloadable content.

Not only does Courses offer new easy ways to create learning content, but it also provides trackers so students can follow their progress through various lessons and chapters. Courses can also be set up to allow students to enroll to self-guided courses or in a cohort for scheduled courses.

This new tool will give users the possibility to have flexible pricing models. Businesses will be able to sell courses individually, as part of a bundle of training offers, or as part of a bundle with other services, such as memberships and videos.

Squarespace adds this new feature to its current portfolio of solutions designed to help entrepreneurs build their digital presence with online designs that stand out.

This popular website builder also offers its own video series to help businesses learn how to create their training content. Videos include filming tricks, creating course outlines, and support and guidance on how to price the training content.

Users can create training content with all membership packages and can sell courses when they have subscribed to the Business or Commerce plan or have purchased the Digital Products Add-On.

Courses is powered by Fluid Engine, a solution introduced by Squarespace in July 2022. Fluid Engine is a page editing system that is a smart evolution of its standard drag-and-drop technology, giving users “maximum freedom to easily play with, experiment, and stretch creative limits through an unrestricted canvas.”
