Detailed tutorials, shared client systems, pricing tips, and tool reviews for solo service providers and web designers who want less hustle &/or overwhelm.
If you’ve been at this Squarespace thing long enough to feel pretty comfortable using the platform, then you might be at the point where you want to be able to do some things a little different than the template allows.
Or, maybe you’re just a “think outside the bun” kinda girl and you want to jazz it up a bit. Get it further away from the template than you otherwise could if you knew some code.
Yeah, me too. Been there, done that & I’m not a developer; I’m a designer.
And if you’re here reading this, I’m guessing you are too.
Plugins (mostly CSS) will be your new best friend, just don’t use too many at one time… it can become confusing.

‘I added an image to the page, but it’s HUGE! How can I make it smaller without cropping it?’
Questions like those pop up in my inbox a lot, and for good reason. There’s not an obvious answer!

How to Schedule Blog Posts in Squarespace
Life pulls us in all directions, doesn't it? It can be so unpredictable, especially for business owners & entrepreneurs. Anything we can do to make our business more predictable, for the people who invest their time in us, makes the experience more positive, right?
But I know blogging can be a time suck; I totally get it. Especially when you're first starting out.
To solve that problem, you can batch like-tasks (blogging & posting to social media, for example) & schedule ahead, so that throughout the days/weeks ahead, you don't have to think about it on the day-to-day. Who's got time to post live, anyway???
You've got enough on your plate already; don't add even more unnecessary stress to your day!
