For this reason, putting ample time and energy into the elements of your footer is essential…

One of the most frustrating things to see as a Squarespace and Showit website designer is a website with stunning design—and crappy photos. I decided to write an entire blog post on this topic because, though professional stock photos are relatively easy to find on the web, it is much more difficult to get a professional photoshoot for your…

When I design websites for my clients, it’s extremely important for me that they will drive passive engagement—making SEO (search engine optimization) a top priority. I like to say that I’m not only a Squarespace and Showit website designer, but also an SEO strategist. As someone who worked in the SEO industry for 2 years, I first hand…

I’ve been wanting to write a blog post like this for a while, detailing exactly how a website designer can help you - and to what extent.

The homepage of your website is arguably the most important.

As a…..

As a service-based business owner, you didn’t build (and aren’t continuing to run) your website for fun. You want it to help you land clients!

As a six-figure or multi-six-figure business owner, the time will likely come when you realize that your website could use a serious rebrand.
