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.

7 apps to boost your business productivity
If you’re new to the entrepreneurial world, then you might be kiiiiinda sorta flyin’ by the seat of your pants. Yeah?
You never went to business or marketing or even design school, so you’re probably a little overwhelmed with your business.
