frequently asked questions

 

+ WHERE DO I EVEN START?

Find the template that works for you, make your purchase, and within 48 hours we’ll send along a Squarespace contributor invite to your new template. From there, follow along our tutorial videos, customize to fit your brand, then get ready to launch!

+ I’M LOOKING FOR THE VIDEO TUTORIALS

Alongside your template contributor invite, you'll also receive an email from TEACHABLE where you can sign up for an account. This is the course platform The Coast Kit uses for the tutorial videos.

+ WHAT WEBSITE PLATFORM DO YOU USE?

We can’t stop raving about Squarespace and think they’re great for small businesses. Read more about why here.

+ WHAT’S INCLUDED IN A COAST KIT?

Upon purchase, you'll receive a Welcome Package (PDF) introducing you into the Kit.

Next, as the template install is included, within 48 hours, we’ll send along a contributor invite to your new website template, and it'll look exactly like the demo site you fell in love with! You'll also receive an email from TEACHABLE to access your tutorial videos which includes working graphic files (for CANVA + Photoshop), final checklist, and email support.

+ HOW EASY WILL THIS BE IF I’M NOT THAT TECH SAVY?

Our Template Kits come with a suite of handy tutorial videos to help you get a better grasp of your website so you’ll be able to easily make changes on your own. Trust us, you’re going to walk away with some new skills!

If you’re still hesitant, we have add on options to lend an extra hand as well.

We also offer free email support for quick questions and have an hourly rate if you need further assistance.

Squarespace also provides INCREDIBLE support through their live chat and emails.

+ CAN I CUSTOMIZE THESE WEBSITES?

Yes, yes, and yes. It’s quite easy to update the overall look to match your branding for your business and attract your ideal client. You can change logos, colors, photos, fonts, and whole-lot-more! We’ve gone over this in greater detail here.

+ CAN I ADD A BLOG OR SHOP?

You’ve got it! Squarespace makes it easy to integrate a Shop into your website. We'll cover how to add this in our tutorial videos!

+ WILL I BE ABLE TO ADD NEW PAGES WITH THESE LAYOUTS?

Of course, we want these templates to be able to work for your business and totally get that you may want to further customize. We walk you through how to add new pages in our tutorial videos!

+ ARE THESE WEBSITES MOBILE FRIENDLY?

They sure are, and we’ve designed with that in mind. Squarespace also makes it easy to view your website on various devices so you can look good on ALL the platforms.

+ HOW LONG SHOULD THIS TAKE?

Realistically, updating the template to make it your own should take only a few hours, so it’s best to carve out a good chunk of time to get er’ done. We recommend not delaying the process and trying to complete it in as short as time as possible (that’s why you’re here, right?). But don’t worry if you’re not in a rush, once purchased, you have unlimited access to the tutorials, however your template will expire within a few months before a payment plan needs to be added.

+ YOU’LL BE ABLE TO ADD IN MY LOGO AND PHOTOS, RIGHT?

We’ll install the template kit for you as is, so it’s up to you to go in and update your logo, colours, photos, and text. If you’re looking for some help with that, look into our TAKE OFF and FLIGHTS INCLUDED add ons.

+ WHAT ABOUT CONNECTING MY DOMAIN & EMAIL TO MY WEBSITE?

If you don't already have a domain name (ie. www.yourcompanyname.com) or business email you can easily set this up right through Squarespace! If you already have a domain name and business email, prior to launch, we provide you with access to Squarespace's step-by-step instructions on how to easily connect your domain to your website.

+ I currently have a Squarespace payment plan and domain set up, can we move this over to the template?

Once we send along your template (as a new website), you can go to Squarespace support chat and they can assist in moving your payment plan and domain over to the new website.

+ I HAVE A LOT OF BLOG POSTS OR SHOP ITEMS ON MY CURRENT WEBSITE?

If you have a lot of content to move over including blog posts or are using a different platform (such as Wordpress of Wix), please contact us for more info and additional costs to make that transition easy for you.

+ I CURRENTLY HAVE A WEBSITE AND WANT TO USE THIS TEMPLATE?

Our template kits are installed on a new Squarespace website, so we suggest moving over your content into the template. This also helps as you can keep your current website as is until your new one is ready to go. Please contact us though if you have any questions on what process may work best for you.

+ WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SQUARESPACE 7.0 & 7.1? WHAT VERSION IS BEST FOR ME?

Both versions of Squarespace are equally as amazing in our opinion and a lot of it comes down to your template preference and overall design style. Feel free to visit our detailed blog post here which elaborates on the key differences between Squarespace 7.0 and 7.1.

+ ARE THERE ADDITIONAL COSTS?

Yes, while we’ve provided you with the design, you’ll need to purchase a plan through Squarespace. You can view their current plans here.

+ WHAT IS YOUR RETURN POLICY?

Due to the digital nature of these products, all sales are final so we suggest reading through all of the details before committing. Still have questions? Feel free to contact us and also read our return policies.
