Squarespace just dropped some of their most exciting updates ever — and I’m breaking them all down in tis video. We’re talking hover animations, mobile-specific editing, and a built-in AI SEO tool called Beacon AI.
What’s covered in this video:
→ Transformations: opacity, rotate, scale, offset, and skew — all without code
→ Animation triggers: hover, press, loop, scroll appear, and follow
→ How to hide content on mobile (finally!)
→ Mobile store layout editing
→ Squarespace Beacon AI — auto alt text, metadata optimization, and AIO
Whether you’re brand new to Squarespace or you’ve been building sites for years, these updates change what’s possible on the platform, no CSS required for this magic!!
