If you're looking to get help with your Squarespace site you might have noticed a few badges on designers sites stating they're either a Squarespace Circle member, a Squarespace Authorized Trainer or both.

If you're sitting there scratching your head wondering what the heck either of these are and what exactly they mean, I'm here to clarify that for you today!

So you've just finished up with your 5th WordPress technical meltdown and headache this month and are so over crying into your keyboard when trying to create the vision you have in your mind on a site?

Wanna know what the most searched thing in my blogs search bar is? SEO.

I know y'all want me to talk about Squarespace SEO on this blog and I've honestly tried bringing myself to do so on manyyyy occasions, but I admit, writing about SEO bores me to tears, so I just never write the posts. 😂

Hey, hey new Squarespacer!

Or let's be real, current WordPress user who is totes fed up with the WordPress headaches and is currently researching Squarespace because you hear whisperings that it's wayyyy easier to use.

So you're looking to add an option for site visitors to schedule a booking consultation call with you?! 

Fabulous idea. I can tell you from experience that offering these calls with make a big time difference to how many clients you're able to land. So first, job well done on even taking the time to set this up.

So you may have heard of the hack out there about how to create a section of rotating testimonials with the Squarespace summary block. If you're unfamiliar, I teach you how to do it in this post.

Less than impressed with the number of booking inquiries you're getting? Your website should be your best marketing employee, working for you 24/7, but if it's not pulling it's weight these days and bringing in the clients you want, here's a few things we can fix to get you to where you want to be  - booked out!

Which block do I use most in all of my site designs?

Whichever block you're thinking of, I can almost guarantee that it's not the one. 

The most useful block in Squarespace? The spacer block.

Picking a domain name you love is like getting married! If you decide to divorce it, things get ugly.

Having just changed mine, and in the process eliminated half of my site traffic which came from Google (though it should be a temporary dip in traffic) I want to help you avoid switching in the future.

If there’s one thing in this world that really gets my goat, it’s this.

People who have noooo idea smack talking Squarespace and it’s SEO capabilities.

… And businesses that make the only way to send them information via a fax. It’s 2018 y’all. Not one single millennial has a clue how to send a fax because it’s ancient technology that everyone should have abandoned ship on 20 years ago. Get with the times. 😡 (Sorry, needed to vent.)

I went back to my academic roots today (ugh) and rounded up allllll the sources to really knock a point home with you.

In case I haven't already convinced you ... 

Your website really. freaking. matters!

Eeeeeek! Today I have a post for you that I hope will be a mini wake up call and be a catalyst for lots of action-taking in your business.

Here goes! 

Ready for some real talk?

So you want to build a website for your business but you're not really sure you know ... where to even start! Slight dilemma...

Well today is your lucky day gal, because I've launched well over 40 sites now, and in that time I've compiled a step-by-step list of what should happen when in order to launch with minimal headache.

There are SO many websites out there that are just a ‘pretty face,’ but they don’t do much in terms of marketing a business to those dreamy clients. That’s not what we want for your website however, so let’s talk alllll about how to make sure your site is appealing to those ideal clients!

If you’re new to Squarespace and you’re trying to navigate the new platform, understanding the terms and language used can be massively helpful. So for all of your new Squarespace users, here’s a list of common Squarespace terms, explained in plain english that you can actually understand.

Index pages are one of the best parts of Squarespace, but they're not something most new Squarespacers (new word, like it?) make much use of. I'd love to show you today exactly what index pages are, how to create one, and tips on using them.

Here's all the important stuff you need to know about Squarespace index pages.

Masterclass #4, the final in the series is coming your way! 

The other day I hosted the last masterclasses which I'm hosting fo' freezies helping y'all who are saying

"I want to build a website, but I have literally no clue where to start"

I get it, building a website for the first time can be a little intimidating. Yeah, you know how to use one as a visitor, but building one? It's a whole other ball game.

When building a website there's a whole host of new terms you'll need to understand before you can get to the actual building.

Here's the important terms you'll want to understand, with a clear explanation even your great Aunt Helga can understand.

Masterclass #3 coming your way! The other day I hosted part 3 of 4 masterclasses that I'm hosting fo' freezies helping y'all who are saying

"I want to build a website, but I have literally no clue where to start"

I put together 4 classes that all build on each other to help you go from website dreaming to website launching, no overwhelm or confusion included!

As a Squarespace website designer, one of my absolute favorite things to do for my clients is find ways to make their website save them time in their business!

I see SO many business owners not taking advantage of the amazing website features Squarespace offers, and instead are slogging through hours of busy-work every week that could be completely automated by their website.
