6 of the best Squarespace templates for video
There’s a reason Squarespace is one of the most popular web building and hosting services out there: it caters to users of all web design skill levels thanks to its easy drag and drop page builders, affordable plans, around the clock customer support, and modern template designs. But does all of that mean Squarespace is a good choice for displaying your videos?
The answer is a resounding yes — but you need to know a few things before you get started.
First, know that Squarespace supports embedding videos, but not uploading them directly to your site. This means that you will have to upload the video to another host first — say YouTube, Vimeo, or Wistia. According to Squarespace, this “helps your site load faster, enables visitors to share your videos, and provides multiple options for video hosting.” Chances are, this won’t bother you but it’s still important to know this before you decide to start building your website. Which host you choose is then up to you, but if you use a template with background videos, you’ll have to use YouTube or Vimeo — not Animoto or Wistia. Read more…
