Logging in to your trial site is simple - just use the URL from your "Welcome to Squarespace" email and click the Login button.

Trial sites are private by default, meaning only site owners and contributors can access them. To allow others to view your trial site without editing permissions, follow these steps:

  1. Add a site password to enable visitor access
  2. Share your predefined domain name (without /config) with visitors
  3. Give them the password you created

Key points about trial site access:

  • Trial sites don't appear in search results
  • Visitors need both the direct URL and password
  • Site owners can use the password to test the site as a regular visitor
  • To make your site public, upgrade to a paid plan

This password protection method lets you safely share your work-in-progress with friends and family while maintaining control over site editing.

When you're ready for your site to be publicly accessible, you'll need to switch to a paid plan and remove the password protection if desired.
