    Hello,
    I currently use squarespace, is there a way to trial wordpress, I don’t want to switch over until I have a feel for word press and see if it suits me. I did go to create a free site but you require domain name which I am not wanting to switch over until I’ve tried word press out

    I don’t have a site with WordPress.com yet

    We don’t offer free trials, but we do offer full refunds: https://wordpress.com/support/refunds/

    We also offer a free option: https://wordpress.com/pricing/

    For the domain, you can get your site set up here before switching your domain over. :)

    When you sign up for a new site, we give you a free subdomain (*.wordpress.com) that you can use to start building your new site.

    Here’s a guide that will help you migrate your site to WordPress.com:
    https://transferto.wordpress.com/

    Note that you will need a Pro plan when you want to connect or transfer your domain to the site: https://wordpress.com/pricing/

    I tried to do the free site but there was a charge for the domain and I do not need a new domain

    A custom domain is entirely optional, you can skip that step. :)

    Here are visual instructions on how to create a free .wordpress.com site:

    Step 1: Select email, username, and password.
    Step 2: select Blog for a .home.blog free site or Business for a .wordpress.com site.
    Step 3: Select the Topic of your site.
    Step 4: Type in the Title of site (optional).
    Step 5: Type in the full, exact site address you want including the .wordpress.com or .home.blog subdomain (ex: freeexamplesite.wordpress.com, freeexampleblog.home.blog). The first option should be the free site that you manually typed in. Click select next to that option.
    Step 6: At the very top, click the link that says: start with a free site.

    Then, your free site should be created! Please follow those steps and if you have any questions, let us know.
