The joy of starting any new venture or learning a new skill can quickly turn into fear. Fear of not being good enough. Fear of being an imposter.

Lessons in index card entrepreneurship from a yard man.

Christy Price and I are doing an “Ask Us Anything” webinar on Oct 6th and I would love to see you in there! These webinars are info-packed, fun, and live discussions where we answer as many as your questions as we can. Register here, and ask a question in the Q&A tab. Even if you can’t make it live, you can still watch the replay!

There’s a special kind of fun that happens when you meet people you’ve only ever interacted with virtually. 3D!

FYI, this article is about my dog. Not coding or Squarespace.

I’ve got my brave pants on and I’m ready for your hardest q’s.

Even if you don’t have a question, come hang out with Christy Price and I as we talk about all things Squarespace, coding, and starting/running your own business on Tuesday May 17th, we’ll be going live at 11am EST. Would love to have you join us!

For the month of April, I’m going to be matching any donation you give to organizations helping Ukraine and Ukrainian Refugees, up to $500 (total). If you donate, send me a picture of your receipt and I’ll match it at the end of the month. Every little bit helps, and this is a way to double your impact.

Starting Wednesday, September 1st, pricing for some of my plugins will increase. I’m keeping a few essential plugins at $10, increasing the price of the rest of my current pro plugins

From my portfolio: A custom pricing table for trqk.io.

Pricing tables have been notoriously difficult to build in Squarespace, so I was asked to build a responsive one. This one is built with CSS and Javascript, and very little custom HTML, so the client can easily update it.

I’ve put together a chart comparing the design and functionality features of the List Section Banner Slideshow and my Pro Slider Plugin, so that you can easily decide which one is a better fit for your needs.

Marketing is an effort to encourage trust in your business and make sure that people know what you offer and how it could benefit them. This process is a lot less linear. I prefer to think of the customer’s journey less of moving from one step to the next, and more as kind of swirling around in a twisty marketing-phase cloud until the customer decides to make a purchase.

Let’s switch the date and month fields from MM/DD/YYYY to DD/MM/YYYY. Us American’s (as well as a few other stragglers) are sticking to our confusing date configurations. And as long as Squarespace doesn’t update their form date fields, you will also have to deal with it.

Stripe has updated the design on their website and it looks great. Where my web design nerds at!?

As small business owners, we sometimes default to wasting our effort on the less impactful parts of our business because working on them makes us feel good. Web design is often one of those things.

The email read, “We just spent the last hour making fun of all the logo designs you sent.” I just sat there staring at my computer screen, the color draining from my face.
