[US Upcoming Beta] Looking for Testers: A New Way to Build Your Website 🪄

[#1]

Hi F&B folks!

We're looking for restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, food trucks, and bars across the US to join the early beta of a website builder we've been working on. And we'd love your help shaping it.

What it is
A new way to build a custom website that expresses your brand. We pull in your existing Square data to generate a multi-page site tailored to how customers shop your kind of business. Start fresh, or bring in an existing site (yours or someone else's) for inspiration. Then customize with our editing tools or AI prompts.

What you get in beta

• Import or draw inspiration from an existing site (on or off Square), or let us build one for you
• Traditional editor (for easy edits) + AI prompt editing for bigger changes
• Custom domain connection
• Basic SEO out of the box
• Links to your Square ordering page or a third-party ordering platform

How to join
If interested in the beta, reply to this post and include a link to your current website (if you have one). From there, we'll add you to the list and follow-up with next steps when the beta rolls out.

Thanks so much!

yay! Added to the list.

i had a feeling you'd be excited about this @Donnie-M. We are lucky to have you -- you have a reputation for giving the best feedback... especially when it comes to all things Ai. 😉

Yes!!! We have not been loving our website. We have lovewellteaandcoffee.com that feeds into our square website for online ordering. We want a better way to seamlessly combine them both in a less clunky way!

Hey @gabiz !

We use Square to host both our business website, and our online food ordering website.   We are interested in testing.  Please let us know if we can help.

Our business site - www.sunvalleylanes.com

Our food site - grill-at-sun-valley.square.site

Thanks!

Always up for testing new things, @LeahK ! 🙂

Current website is goldenpinecoffee.square.site although I do have the domain gpr.coffee, which right now points to the square site. Definitely interested in getting that as one thing.

I have heard zero on this since throwing my name in a few weeks ago.  Is there an update at all on this?  Have they stopped accepting testers?

[#18]

we're just finalizing everything this week @SVLFever  -- thanks for the ping! stand by!

[#19]

I want to be included and do not like using weebly right now and avoid going to squarespace if I can. I want to update my site Home | Colleen's Sweet Craftations with new tools and maybe a different look. www.colleenssweetcraftations.com

Hey everyone! Quick update on this thread.

First off, thank you to everyone who raised their hand to participate in this beta. 🙌

@Lovewell, @SVLFever, @ryanwanner, @pawffeeshop, @drinkthicc, @PammySue, @Cskylar, @emilyz123, @SSB_YVR, @BuiltByLorenzo, @DazzleDenDz, @Cpassetto, @vinesandrushes, @TheRealChipA, @Donnie-M, @sacredheart926

Here's where things stand: if you met the criteria for this stage of the closed beta, @gabiz has already reached out directly. If you haven't heard from her, it doesn't mean you're not a good fit. It means your site has specific configurations or features that the product team can't fully support yet at this early stage. Things like certain modules, integrations, or site setups that are still being built out.

The good news: as new capabilities become available and this moves further along the development cycle (whether as additional functionality is added within closed beta or as we progress to open beta), more of you will be looped in. Your willingness to volunteer is much appreciated. Not only do we have more folks to fold in who are eager to test and learn, but equally important, understanding who opts in and what's on your sites helps the team prioritize what to unlock.

In the meantime, whether you're in the current stage of the closed beta or not, let's keep the convo going. There was a reason you raised your hand after all...

✨ What would you want to see in the next iteration of Square's website experience? What's working for you today, what's not, what would make you switch or upgrade? ✨

Drop your thoughts below. This is exactly the kind of feedback that shapes what gets built next. 🙂

Thanks again for being here!

– Leah & Gabi

Give me a couple days to deep think about this Leah.  I'll get back some thoughts early next week.
