With your purchase, you get to choose between either the Earthy + Modern or the Warm & Trendy template in either Squarespace or WIX. For example, you could choose the Earthy + Modern template in Squarespace for your website. See the video above if you aren’t sure which one is right for you.

Both platforms are great and our students have been building on both for years.  The main difference between the platforms is that Squarespace is considered a “structured” web building application and WIX is “unstructured”.  What that means is WIX has a bit more flexibility which can be great but it can also cause your website to start to look and feel messy if you aren’t careful with it.  On the flip side, Squarespace is a bit more limited design wise but it’s very hard to make your website look scattered on Squarespace.  The good news is that if you stick with the format we provide in your template either platform will produce an absolutely gorgeous website with identical layouts.  If you’ve used one or the other platform before we suggest sticking with what you know.  If you’ve never used either before, you can’t go wrong so pick one and feel confident in knowing you’ll be celebrating a beautiful website soon.

Stylists need their own websites if their salon site isn’t well designed, well-formatted or connecting with the stylists desired target market.

An online booking system web page isn’t a website, it’s a tool used for schedule management and in Website Academy Templates we will show you how to link your online booking web page to your site. Using just an online booking page instead of a full website will prevent you from being indexed in Google search and will decrease demand for your services.
