5 Tips to Get Back on Track Fast with Your SquareKicker Web Design Workflow

Even the most experienced Squarespace designers occasionally hit roadblocks. When you're creating custom websites using SquareKicker, having a few troubleshooting strategies in your back pocket can save you valuable time. These five simple tips will help you quickly resolve common issues and keep your design workflow moving smoothly.

1. Reach Out to Community Support

When you're truly stuck, remember that you don't have to solve design challenges alone. The SquareKicker support team is dedicated to helping you succeed with your Squarespace projects. Our team is ready to assist you through our support page, where you can submit a request and receive personalized help. No bots in the SK office - just a team of passionate humans ready to get you back on track quickly.

Pro tip: Including a screen recording of the issue you're experiencing can help us provide faster, more targeted solutions. We recommend using Loom for creating easy screen captures that clearly demonstrate what you're seeing.

2. Refresh Your Browser

Sometimes the simplest solution is the most effective! Before diving into complex troubleshooting, try refreshing your browser or logging out of Squarespace and logging back in. It's surprising how often this quick action resolves unexpected behaviors. Many designers reach out for support only to discover that a simple refresh was all that was needed.

3. Use Squarespace's Safe Mode

When troubleshooting, it's helpful to determine whether an issue stems from Squarespace itself, SquareKicker, or perhaps custom code you've added. You can easily check this by activating Squarespace's safe mode:

1. Click into the URL bar of your Squarespace editor

2. After "config/" add the word "safe"

3. Press Enter

This temporarily disables all custom code and extensions. If the issue persists in safe mode, it's likely related to Squarespace rather than SquareKicker or your custom code. To exit safe mode, either click "enable scripts in preview" or simply refresh your browser.

4. Toggle SquareKicker Customizations

Want to see what your site looks like without SquareKicker's customizations? You can temporarily hide all SquareKicker edits without actually removing them:

1. Click the SquareKicker icon in the top right corner

2. Go to "Support"

3. Select "Hide Customizations"

This gives you a quick before-and-after view of your website with and without SquareKicker features. To restore your customizations, simply refresh the page or use the hotkey again.

Time-saving shortcut: Use Option+H on Mac or Alt+H on PC to quickly toggle customizations on and off.

5. Explore the Resources Library

The SquareKicker website features a comprehensive resources section designed to answer your questions and power-up your design skills. Before contacting support, browsing through our Help Center might save you time, as many common questions already have detailed answers waiting for you.

Our resource library includes:

• Extension tutorials
