    Hi everyone!
    My name is Richard, and I'm the proud owner of Inspiring Sanctuary Design, a residential building design business I recently rebranded. I'm also setting up an online store called TrulyUniqo, where I'll sell original art that I will have printed on clothing and merchandise. In addition to that, I started a web development venture late last year called Socially Savvy Solutions.
    As a creative person with a passion for graphic design, digital art and creative content writing, I use what I know to create social media content for local small businesses that understand the value of modern marketing. However, this isn't my primary source of income - merely a side project that lets me help others get ahead with their businesses while having fun!
    I'm looking forward to learning more about web development using Squarespace with an emphasis on branding, creative writing and problem-solving. The first couple of projects will be free to some lucky small businesses to build up my portfolio. 
    Question.
    This was going to be my question, but I have answered it simultaneously, but it could make for a good conversation. 
    After spending hours tweaking my website, figuring out when I should finally call it quits is tough. It's like being a kid in the biggest lollipop shop ever – so many choices and options it's easy to get overwhelmed.
    At least with building design, I know that simplicity is vital. There's a good saying that "good design is how much you take away, not how much you add". But with websites and graphic design, it can be hard to determine what to keep and discard.
    So here's my top tip: When you find yourself tweaking the same levels or details repeatedly, step back and ask yourself – is this worth the time? If you were paid for this work, would it be worthwhile? That might be a sign of perfectionism taking over, so I take a deep breath and let go.
    Underconstruction still.  www.isdesign.au  and looking for brutally honest comments.
    Stim.
