Squarespace Tips & Client Systems for Web Designers & Service Providers
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’m sharing my trusted resources for these here, so keep reading!

There are SO many Project Management tools out there that are worth a look, but which one is the right fit for YOU?
I’ve taken the time to break down the ones I’ve used & organize them into feature lists so you can search for what you need and see which apps offer those things.
Now, let’s see which app is the right fit for your productivity needs!
Souljam launched the damn thing!
A few years ago, Anna came to me & asked for help designing a logo for the band. I took on the project, feeling both happy & excited to help her.
The thing is, Souljam is a very talented jam band, and designing their logo meant designing a little outside of my comfort zone.
For those of you who don't know exactly what that means, think (or lookup) Grateful Dead, Phish, Widespread Panic, Allman Brothers and have a listen. The band members in this genre are typically free-spirited hippies, lovers of music, & super talented. They produce songs that are long & wandering to take advantage of every available second to show off their mad skills & just feel free while they play.
While I do love the Billy Breathes Phish album and I've been to see Widespread Panic live once with my husband, generally that style of music is not my jam. I can appreciate the talent it takes to play it, but I don't personally love that style of music. I find myself listening to a Widespread Panic song that's 10+ minutes long, wondering when the hell it will end, because I can't tell what the structure of the song is (verse, chorus, verse, chorus, etc.).
So this project became a prime example of stepping into my client's shoes to get the design right. I knew enough about the style of music & what appeals to their listeners, to step in & give them a design that matched their musical souls.

I’m the Founder, Owner, CEO, Designer & Educator at Launch the Damn Thing® and I love coffee, cursing & carefully laid plans. 😂 (Also reading, blaring loud music, and teaching, –but those didn’t fit into my nice alliteration!)
Did I just totally make your day? #goals
