Hi Pangaea team! 👋 Here's a short guide on how to launch and maintain your new Squarespace site!
First login to Squarespace: You should have received an invite to sarah@pangaeaventures.com.
invite other members to your team
Go to Settings > Permissions & Ownership > Invite Contributor and invite any members of your team that will need a login to help setup or maintain the site.
Update your domain
Go to Settings > Domains & Email > Domain > Use a Domain I own and follow the Squarespace instructions from there.
You will need your domain provider login information and account ready (looks like it's with Tucows)
PUBLISH YOUR SITE
Go to Settings > Website > Site Availability and press the black "Upgrade to Publish" button
Select either Business plan. While a personal plan will be enough for the current content that is on the site - if you have more than two contributors who you want access to the website, you will want a business plan. It also gives you email marketing, videos/courses, and ecommerce capabilities.
Connect your payment information, review, and confirm.
Save site availability as public! 🎉
EDITING YOUR SITE

Select page you want to edit from the left hand side nav bar.
Hit Edit on the left top corner to enter editing mode.
