How to Add User Feedback, Roadmap & Changelog to Your Squarespace Site

This guide shows you how to connect UserJot features like feedback boards, public roadmaps, and product changelogs to your Squarespace website. By adding simple links, you can easily integrate these tools without complex code.

Why Connect UserJot to Squarespace?

Connecting UserJot to your Squarespace site provides a dedicated space for users to interact with your product development. You can:

  • Gather user suggestions: Collect ideas and feedback directly from your visitors through a UserJot feedback board.
  • Display your product roadmap: Share your future plans and development progress using a public roadmap.
  • Publish updates: Announce new features and improvements with a dedicated changelog.

Setting Up Your UserJot Board

Before linking to your Squarespace site, you need a UserJot project.

  1. Create a UserJot Account: Sign up at UserJot and create your first project. This automatically generates your feedback board, roadmap, and changelog pages.
  2. Get Your Links: Your UserJot pages are available at a unique subdomain (e.g., https://yourproject.userjot.com/) or a custom domain you configure (e.g., https://feedback.yourdomain.com/).
    • Feedback Board: https://yourproject.userjot.com/
    • Roadmap: https://yourproject.userjot.com/roadmap
    • Changelog/Updates: https://yourproject.userjot.com/updates
    • (Replace yourproject.userjot.com with your actual UserJot URL or custom domain).
  3. Refer to the getting started guide for initial setup details and the footer links example for link structure.

The most common way to integrate UserJot with Squarespace is by adding direct links to your site’s navigation (header or footer).

  1. Log in to Squarespace: Access your Squarespace account dashboard.
  2. Go to Website: In the main menu, click on “Website”.
  3. Navigate to Pages: In the Website panel, find the “Pages” section.
  4. Choose Navigation Area: Decide where you want the link (e.g., “Main Navigation” for the header, or a “Footer Navigation” section if you have one set up). Click the + icon next to the chosen navigation area.
  5. Select “Link”: From the menu that appears, choose the “Link” option.
  6. Configure the Link:
    • Link Title: Enter the text you want displayed (e.g., “Feedback”, “Roadmap”, “What’s New”).
    • Link: Click the gear icon next to the Link field. Select “Web Address”. Paste the full URL to your UserJot board, roadmap, or changelog page (e.g., https://yourproject.userjot.com/roadmap).
    • Open in New Window: Consider checking this box so users don’t navigate away from your main Squarespace site.
    • Click “Save”.
  7. Position the Link: Drag the new link item within the navigation list to your preferred position.
  8. Save Changes: Squarespace usually saves automatically, but ensure your changes are reflected on your live site.

You can repeat these steps to add links for your feedback board, roadmap, and changelog separately. You can also add these links within Text Blocks in your page content or site footer if preferred.

Matching UserJot to Your Site Design

For a more integrated look, customize UserJot’s appearance:

  • Use UserJot’s branding options to change the logo, project name, and primary color to match your Squarespace site’s design.
  • Set up a custom domain (e.g., feedback.yourdomain.com) so the UserJot pages feel like a natural part of your website.

Conclusion

Adding UserJot links to your Squarespace navigation or footer is a straightforward way to start collecting feedback, sharing your roadmap, and announcing updates. Start collecting feedback on your Squarespace site today.
