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.

I'm back with another edition of monthly recaps, the posts where I take you behind the scenes of the studio, and show you what I've been scheming up, as well as the successes and the failures (*ahem - lessons learned*).
It feels kinda odd to write another one of these as I just finished up my business recap of the entire year, so I feel like I'e done a lot of reflecting and recapping lately, but I don't want to skip a month, and some really interesting things did happen in December, so let's get into it!
You will only master consistent blogging after doing these 2 things
I consistently blogged for 1 year, wahoo! I posted twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays without fail for 1 year straight, definitely something I'm proud of from this past year.
I was paid back handsomely with a massive uptick in traffic which I 100% dedicate to my consistency. (You can peek at the exact traffic numbers 1 year of consistent blogging earned me over in this post.)
Business Anniversary 2017: What I made, what worked, what didn’t
Well, it's been 1 year since I went full time with my business.
Good news, I didn't go bankrupt and didn't the world didn't end. 😂
This time last year when debating going full time, I legitimately felt like I was standing on the edge of a cliff, about to leap into the unknown, no parachute attached. During my time deciding, I had this feeling inside my lungs like I had just taken a giant breath in and there was no more air to come.

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

This email script will save you hours every week in your inbox
It's safe to say that my inbox has tried to take over my life, and I'm fighting back with all I have. (Know the struggle?)
I am an absolute 'inbox 0' type girl. When I have any number of unread emails over 0, I'm not satisfied until they're dealt with and gone. It's an unrelenting daily battle however, the second I manage inbox 0, give myself a little 'you did it' first bump, another 5 creep their way in waiting for my attention. Ughhhh!

Kenni from The Carriage House, a wedding venue just outside of Houston, was inspired after a conference and decided that building a new website should be a top priority, especially going into engagement season.

Hey copycat, this is how it feels when you copy my site
I like to get a feel for who's following along and joining my tribe, so when I check out my email list stats I tend to also do a little visit to the sites of those following me. Anyone who has a name@theirwebsite.com email I tend to check out.
It gives me an idea of the industries my followers are in, and as a website designer and web design blogger, I can take a peek at the state of the websites of those who are consuming my content.

What type of business is Squarespace good for? Answered.
As a Squarespace website designer and blogger I'm often asked to give input on if Squarespace is right for my potential clients and blog readers.
I've answered this so many times now, I figured I'd just blog about it, so the answer is available to anyone.
Oh, and no, even though I am a huge fan of Squarespace, I don't recommend it to everyone.
There are different web building platforms that are suited to different circumstances, so I'm going to break my opinion down honestly as to which platform makes the most sense for your business.
