What if the rules you've been following aren't actually yours? Let's soften the grip of "should" and rebuild your business around clarity, not complexity.

Let’s be real. Logging into Squarespace often starts with good intentions and that little knot in your stomach. Too many options, the worry you’ve missed something obvious, or the feeling you’re just behind. I hear this from clients all the time: late nights, dashboard glowing, tea forgotten beside them. That’s why I want to share a few overlooked Squarespace features that can save you hours of work and make your website design process feel easier.

It’s the first cool morning of September.

Outside, there’s a certain shift: the sunlight is clearer, the breeze a little less forgiving, all hinting at the slow turning of seasons. I settle at my favorite corner of the kitchen (actually, I have many favorite spots in my home), hands wrapped around a mug, feeling the quiet urgency that always arrives this time of year.

Before we dive in, I wonder - did you have a summer that brought a breath of ease, even just a pocket of it? Or did the months pass in a blur, leaving you longing for gentleness as routines return? However your summer unfolded, I’m so glad you’ve landed here.

But as tabs load and notifications ping, a quiet heaviness sometimes settles in. I notice the tension in my shoulders, that subtle question: Am I doing enough with all this tech, or just trying to keep up?
