Generating QR codes
Squarespace is always adding and changing features on the platform, which is one of the reasons I enjoy working with it. They’re constantly evolving to meet the needs of modern websites, from small businesses to non-profits and beyond.
One helpful feature that’s gained more importance recently is the ability to easily integrate QR codes. QR codes have become essential tools for small businesses and non-profits because they bridge the gap between the physical and digital world. Whether it’s on a flyer, postcard, product tag, or event signage, QR codes let people quickly scan and be taken directly to a webpage for more information.

Squarespace has made this even easier by implementing a built-in QR code feature for every page on your Squarespace website. In the General section of each page's settings, you can now click a toggle to instantly generate a customized QR code that links directly to that specific page. It’s a quick and convenient way to share your content offline, without needing any extra tools.
For more advanced customization—like adding your logo or matching your brand colors—third-party tools such as QR Code Monkey and Canva can help you create a branded QR code that stands out. This is especially useful if you’re including QR codes on print materials and want to maintain a cohesive visual identity.

Here are just a few smart ways to use QR codes:
Link to an RSVP or ticketing page for an upcoming event
Drive traffic to a donation page
Promote a new product or service
Share a digital menu or pricing guide
Direct people to sign up for a newsletter or volunteer form
If you're not using QR codes yet, now is a great time to explore how they can fit into your marketing strategy. They’re a small detail that can make a big impact—especially with how easy Squarespace has made it to get started.
May Web Design, LLC, creates affordable websites on the Squarespace platform that empower clients to confidently manage and update their own content. I love helping businesses and nonprofits boost customer engagement and strengthen their overall web presence with clean, effective design.
One of the most important parts of my process happens after the website is built: I take the time to walk clients through how to update and maintain their website, so they can keep things fresh and relevant moving forward.
A well-designed website is more than just a digital brochure—it’s a 24/7 welcome to your audience. It should highlight what your business or organization has accomplished, share your mission, and guide visitors through your content in a clear, friendly way.
