How to Build an IDX Website with Squarespace
And Realtyna’s MLS/IDX Widgets
Building a website with Squarespace is a straightforward process that doesn’t require extensive technical knowledge. Since Squarespace doesn’t offer any native integration for organic MLS/ IDX integration, we will use Realtyna’s solution for this purpose.
What we need to get started:
- Realtyna’s IDX/MLS widget
- Subscription for Squarespace
- Subscription for MLS Router™ API
