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.

9 tips for giving designers better feedback
I think when people hear the word "designer" they sometimes think of one (or several) of these descriptors: nerd, techie, IT person, hard to communicate with, quiet, introvert, not personable, weird, unorthodox, etc.
While some of those things may be true, the main purpose of today's blog is to provide tips on how to communicate effectively with your designer, despite the personality differences that may exist.
