The team at SquarePaste recently released a tool called Bridge and it feels like one of those “why wasn’t this built into Squarespace?” things. Bridge gives you a client chat + file drop widget right on your client’s Squarespace site and it keeps everything organized in one dashboard. If you’re a Squarespace designer, you already know the pain: feedback spread across email threads, texts, IG DMs, and Loom comments “where did they send that PDF again?” the same question asked 3 times because...

If you’re like most designers and developers I talk to, you already know you should be marketing your business. You also probably feel like you never have the time for it. Client work fills your week. Family, life, and everything else fills whatever’s left. So marketing becomes this nagging obligation you carry around, but never quite get to. In this article, I want to reframe that. Because in my experience, the problem usually isn’t time - it’s how we’re thinking about marketing in the first...

Do you remember the first website you launched? The first project. The first client who said, I love this! Can I pay you to do it for me? One referral led to another, and before you knew it, you were in business. I call it the Love × Love Framework. When you create from a place of love, it emits a vibe. Lovers of that vibe are attracted to it. And voilà – connection! But what happens when love fades? When the reason for doing gets drowned out by deadlines and obligations? We lose connection....

Water that sits too long becomes stagnant. Movement keeps it pure, alive, and flowing. The same is true for business, creativity, and life. Last week at the Web Designer Summit, I spoke about a common challenge many entrepreneurs wrestle with: the transition from what we’re known for to what we’re called for.

Maybe it’s just how we’re wired—to lean on one another and...

As a creative, I love Squarespace for ecommerce. But when your business requires more advanced tools, marketing automation, and multi-channel integrations, Shopify often becomes the next logical step. Here's how to know if you've outgrown Squarespace. Omari FounderSQSPThemes.com

I’ve found that business growth often comes after periods of deep personal growth. As you descend into the depths, things might get rocky. But when you emerge, there's an effervescent glow, that radiates and blesses all that come in contact with you. Buenas dias amigos! This month I’m onboarding two new coaching clients, specifically experienced professionals who do amazing work but have had no time to market their own business. Is it you? If you’re interested hit me up and I’ll send you a...
