How to Choose a Website Layout That Works Everywhere
Squarespace Does the Heavy Lifting for You
One of the reasons I picked Squarespace for this course is because it takes 90% of the tech headache off your plate.
You get:
Clean, modern templates that already look good out of the box
Mobile-ready designs so your site works on any screen
No-code customization, tweak colors, fonts, and layouts without touching a single line of HTML
Simple navigation tools so rearranging pages is drag-and-drop easy
Seamless domain connection (no wrestling with DNS settings for hours)
Built-in blog and content organization to keep things tidy from day one
And if you do mess something up? Squarespace has an undo button that actually works, two clicks and you’re back to safety.

Why Layout Choice Matters More Than You Think
Your layout isn’t just about looking pretty, it’s about making sure people can find what they came for without frustration.
A confusing layout makes visitors bounce.
A clean, conversion-friendly one keeps them clicking and taking action.
What to Look for in a Solid Layout
Clear navigation: Visitors should instantly know where to go
Logical hierarchy: Important pages (like your offer or contact page) should be easy to find in one click
Responsive design: Looks just as good on a phone as it does on a desktop
Room for breathing space: Avoid layouts that cram too much on the screen, whitespace is your friend
Conversion-friendly sections: Clear calls-to-action that guide people toward the next step
The Mobile Test
Over half of your visitors will see your site on a phone first. If your layout only works on desktop, you’re losing people before they’ve even read a word.
In Squarespace, you can preview and adjust your site’s mobile view in real time, use it.
The Bottom Line
With Squarespace, the hard part’s already handled: clean templates, mobile optimization, easy customization.
All you need to do is pick a layout that keeps things clear, simple, and action-focused.
When your layout works everywhere, your visitors stick around longer, and that’s where the conversions happen.
