Why I Build Client Websites On Squarespace

Like many web designers/developers, I used to be an adamant WordPress (WP) supporter. I loved how WordPress gave me full control over my every single aspect of my website and that I could get it to behave exactly how I wanted at all times. I worked with everyday so I was very comfortable creating, maintaining and updating websites (both mine and my clients’) on WordPress.

But fast-forward to the present and I’ve changed my position and now I am standing on the mountain top singing praises of SquareSpace instead.

Today, I build all my clients’ websites on the SquareSpace platform and encourage anyone taking the DYI route to do the same.

So what changed? Why did I make the switch from WordPress to SquareSpace as the platform of choice for all my client websites?

When I thought critically about my clients’ goals and what they needed from their websites, SquareSpace came out on top in every way. Read on to learn why.

My Top 2 Tips for Better Blog Posts

Creating quality content on for website, specifically in the form of blog posts, can be one of the most exciting ways to build your audience, establish yourself as a leader in your niche, and grow your business. "If you build it, they will come"...right?

Well....not quite!

Leveraging your blog means being intentional with the content you create.

So much has been written about blogging strategies including countless "how-to" pieces covering the same old advice. Generally speaking, there is a lot of filler (not killer) information out there that is distracting you from your goals.

Lucky for you, there are only two questions you need to ask yourself before writing blog posts. They are so straightforward it's almost ridiculous!

Why Site Traffic is Worth your Attention [Plus a Bonus Guide on Ways to Increase It]

As an online entrepreneur, I am lucky enough to connect with people everyday across a variety of industries. We get to talk shop and share our thoughts on tech trends, insights, best practices and the value that websites bring to businesses. This is something I hugely enjoy and appreciate...except when I hear people preaching bad advice!

By now you know that as a writer and web developer, my number one goal is to help people build websites for their businesses that are as profitable, simple and effective as they can be. There is a lot of information out there, a lot of which is out of date or totally off the mark, and it can be tough to figure out who to trust.

If you want a website that captures the attention and interest of new visitors, drives sales and simplifies communications, you must design and build a website that meets your needs.

A Manifesto About Starting and Building a Website

If you’re anything like the other members of the community who visit my website, you’re here for one of two reasons.

Most of you already have a website and now you're ready to optimize it. You want it to have a killer design, great functionality and you want to make it as profitable as possible. You've already put in the hard work to get it up and running and now you want to take it to the next level.

On the flip side, what if you fall in the second group of people: those who don’t have a website yet? Maybe you have an idea in your head for either a personal or business website, but at this point, you have nothing to show for it.

Have you asked yourself what's holding you back? Why haven’t you started this project?
