A client came to me last year with a problem she couldn't understand. Her Squarespace store was getting steady traffic. Products were being added to carts. And then... nothing. Roughly 70% of people...

The email arrives at 11pm on a Sunday. Subject line: "URGENT: I think my website has been hacked!!!"

Content management on Squarespace works fine when you've got 10 blog posts. You can edit one, publish one, tweak one. But what happens when you've got 50, 100, or 200 posts? Suddenly, Squarespace's one-at-a-time editing approach becomes a serious bottleneck. You can't efficiently update metadata across dozens of posts, run content audits, or manage seasonal content calendars. The limitations become real.

Anchor links are one of the simplest but most underused features in web design. They let users jump directly to specific sections on a page. They're useful for table of contents, navigation menus, and single-page sites. But they only work if you set them up correctly.

I build on Squarespace 7.1 every week. I've built over 600 sites on this platform. I'm committed to it. I recommend it to most clients. But I'm not going to pretend it's perfect, and I'm not going to be a tribal evangelist defending every design decision.
