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!

What to expect during a large design project
You probably have a vague idea of what type of design services you need, and maybe you even know who you want to work with. But maybe you have no idea how much (if any) work you’ll need to put in or how much it’d cost to hire the help.
That goes for pretty much anything in the service industry, right? But there’s Angie’s List & HomeAdvisor for those kinds of professionals. So where do you go to find out more about design services? (Please don’t say Fiverr or Upwork. 😄)
That being the case, whether you have/haven’t worked with a graphic designer before, I’d be willing to bet you’re not sure what to expect, especially in a remote work or freelance situation.
It can be scary to hand over your trust & money to a stranger you’ve never met in person & don’t know. Right? I totally get that!
Because I know that there are a lot of you out there who have no idea what to expect, I’m gonna share my process since basically it’s industry standard.
