Hi Reader,
Today is the first day it has felt like fall here in Austin. And by that, I mean the high today is 75ยฐ instead of 95ยฐ, so it's all relative. But bring on the sweaters, boots, and warm drinks - I'm ready!
And a quick note to let you know that the SEOSpace Academy has just re-opened for enrollment. If you are a web designer and want to add SEO services, this is EXACTLY what you need to start growing that additional revenue stream while helping your clients level up. Or if you want to do your own SEO, this course will set you up for long-term growth. Learn more here.โ
What's New with Me
I've been chugging along on my YouTube channel, with over 20 videos up for my Prelaunch Checklist. You can check out the playlist here.
I launched another Two Day Website based on my Sway template and am working on a custom build.
And I've loved hearing from the >100 of you who purchased my Starter Template for Squarespace Web Designers! Tony H. says "After 11 years of individually creating pages, sections, and style settings, then manually adding offboarding pages, Christy packaged something I should have been using long ago! The Starter Template serves as a great jumping off point to inspire your creativity, client management systems, and save loads of time. You can add your affiliate partner links to the toolbox and make a bit of extra money, too!"
What's New with Squarespace
Migration from 7.0 to 7.1 just got easier! The tool can now update all 7.0 sites built using templates currently available in the 7.0 template store plus the deprecated template, Marquee. If you are a Circle member, the tool has been enabled for your account and you can access it on any eligible template by selecting Design, then Update to version 7.1 in the Website panel.
Proposals, estimates, and contracts. After a client accepts a document created using Squarespace invoices, both you and your client will receive a pdf copy of the document in a confirmation email. Also, AI-suggested text is now available in the editor for proposals, estimates, and contract text in the Projects panel.
Did you get an email about reconnecting Google Drive? Due to required changes from Google, you and your clients will need to reconnect and reauthorize Google Drive connections to Squarespace, and the deadline to reconnect has been extended to October 23, 2024.
