I am completely new to building websites and Sophia’s workshop was exactly what I was looking for to help get me started. I really liked the interactive parts and the resources she provides after the training have already been invaluable. She’s also available to answer any questions that may come up later. I highly recommend her workshop.

Taking the online workshop with Sophia was excellent. Step-by-step, she showed me how to create the best possible platform for my work & helped me make a plan for the site I envisioned. If you are looking to work with someone who can articulate clearly and direct you through the web building process, work with Sophia!

Who is this workshop for?
Squarespace Fundamentals is a short introductory workshop designed specifically for newcomers to the Squarespace platform. It is for someone who has, perhaps, started a trial account and quickly found a need to find some guidance to navigate the system. Or someone who loves to learn and wants to get into designing their website by learning the foundations first in an orderly fashion. It is also helpful for someone who got a site designed by a friend and now they want to take over the reins of their site themselves. The workshop as a whole has a beginner's focus and flair.
If you feel fairly at ease navigating the platform, you may benefit from a more advanced workshop (in the works). Drop me an email at so@sophiaojha.com with any questions and I’ll be happy to help you out :-)
