Hey there! If we haven’t met yet, I’m Bekah. I help creative entrepreneurs like you build beautiful, functional websites that actually work for your business—whether that means getting clients, boosting your SEO, or both.
Now, let’s talk calendars.
Step 1: Create an Event Page
First things first, if you’re using your calendar to feature events, you’ll need to create an Event Page in Squarespace.
Here’s how:
- Go to your Squarespace dashboard.
- If you want the calendar to show up in your menu, add the event page to Main Navigation.
- Want to keep it hidden for now? Add it under Not Linked instead.
Squarespace also lets you feature blog posts or shop items on a calendar, but events are by far the most popular option!
Step 2: Set Up Your Events
Once your event page is created, it’s time to add your events:
- Click the + to add a new event.
- Add a featured image and a short caption under the event’s settings.
- When you’re ready, hit Publish.
Quick tip: Images and captions make your events more visually appealing and give visitors all the details they need at a glance.
Step 3: Add Your Calendar to a Page
Now for the fun part—adding your calendar to your site!
- Go to the page where you want your calendar to appear.
- Create a new section and click the + to add a block.
- Choose Calendar from the options.
- Drag it to where you want it on the page.
- Link it to your events (or blog posts, shop items, etc.).
Voilà! You’ve got a working calendar ready to go.
