Thank you for your reply! Looks like you use my workaround idea in practice. Did you ran into any issues? 

Hi, 
I have a question if my idea for a "dynamic" portfolio is correct and is possible to do in Squarespace.
Case: I provide services, have use multiple skills, that I would like to present in my categorized portfolio. I apply to multiple employers and businesses as a freelancer. In creative field, it is almost certain that I would be asked for portfolio. Usually business want specialised portfolio for a specific task, uncategorised portfolio with unrelated skills/projects is a bad look. 
Example: I wrote content of an e-book, designed the layout, then was asked to adjust the layout for print, provided html email layouts for marketing team etc. In portfolio, I can present that I can: write copy, design a layout, know DTP rules, can code marketing emails. 
A solution suggested on forums: is to create multiple portfolio pages and then link to them from a single page using gallery. This solution doesn't allow for tags & categories, works more like folders on a desktop.
My idea: is to create another blog type page, write the whole case study and my roles in the project. Create single page, put summary blocks that would show work from single tag or category. 
If you have any tips how to solve this, please let me know. 

 

I'm not sure if this solves your problem entirely, but you could use the SquareWebsite Universal Filter for the Portfolio page, it's not perfect in the portfolio pages but it does work. 
https://www.squarewebsites.org/squarespace-plugins/universal-filter
Using the blog page functionality for tags and categories, as well as the ability to use them in summary blocks is very attractive, the biggest downside I find is the ordering (dictated by publish date) and reduced editing functionality (no sections on the pages). 
The ability to reference a portfolio page in the summary blocks, and add tags to the portfolio items would be fantastic to have.

Take a look at my blog setup, I categorize by subject a whole lot of posts with a drop down menu and each subject has its own url and each post in the subject/category of course has its own url also.. I don't see why you can't adapt this method to show your portfolio of work.

Can you show me the URL to the page that has the universal filter function?

Hi Circle Members,

Hoping that someone may be able to help with this.

We're creating a new site for a Real Estate Agent and we are looking to embed a Search/Filter function on their homepage that will open on a new Search Summary page where they can view their filter criteria or adjust them as needed. We are using currently Universal Filter from Squarewebsites as the filter plugin.

The screnshoot below gives an idea of what we are trying to achieve:

Any help or guidance is most welcome!

You can use Blog + a 3rd party plugin, eg: Universal Filter (affiliate link).
This plugin will allow you add a Search + Filter features
Filter will work with Categories + Tags. You can use Category/Tag to create many different filters, for example with Job Board we can create filters for City, Job Type, Years of Experience, Job Location, Salary ,..

Hi
Has anyone built a Directory with SS?
We have set one up with the blog function, but want to figure an easy way for people to browse and search within the Directory.
Any recs would be much appreciated!

Just rebranded our Psychotherapy Practice in NYC to LSP - https://lsp.nyc.  Squarespace made it easy to move to 7.1, but still not seeing a big improvement in load times, unfortunately.  Provided them that feedback and hope they continue to make improvements.  Great to see so many others learning how to use the platform effectively!

Hi everyone,
Very excited to be here! 
I'm a danish, self employed, allround creative director and photographer. I've spend the past 7-ish years exploring different industries, helping businesses build their brands and grow. 
About a year ago I decided to focus my time on working with clients that share my values and interests; outdoor, food and folk. 
Hands down the best decision I've ever made.
I currently divide my time between Copenhagen and traveling across the Nordic countries, working with hunting, sailing, fishing and a lot of other brilliant things. 
Squarespace has become my go-to platform for clients. Although I sometimes miss having more freedom to create and customize, I keep returning as this tool is just super simple, always ends with a beautiful result, and most importantly: is so easy-to-use for my clients ones I've handed it over to them.

Good evening everyone. I'm Jason and I just started using Squarespace yesterday. I am a woodworker and have been using social media to grow an audience for the past few years and I think I'm ready to make a move to try and grow my hobby in the upcoming year. I have zero experience with any sort of website building so this venture should be quite interesting.

Hi , I am Jason from Taiwan. I have been used SQS for 3 year , now I have more than 5 website . I used to write a website or platform on my own, but since I found SQS , it is really stable and convenient for me.  These are the website which I am running now.
 https://tw.toybrains.com/  : a platform about STEM education, now it is the biggest STEM community in Taiwan, accredited by STEM.org , 5000 UU a day in 3 years and keep growing. We cooperate with more than 50 bloggers and professors to generate contents about STEM educations.  https://www.asiastem.org/ : An association about STEM , teach people what is STEM by vedio. Recently I tested the member area funtion of SQS , convenient for uploading films to build up online courses. https://babylux.asia/ : my distribution company offical website. Mainly on maternity products and toys.  I am really a heavy users of SQS. I hope you could be better and better. I have confident about you, even bought your stocks when you IPO and till now I did not sell any. The world is connected by internet, you really did your great job !
 
Payment method in Taiwan. These 3 years I am really happy there is such a great platform , but why there are only few people in Taiwan use SQS? There is a reason : SQS do not have a payment method for Taiwan. SQS have stripe , payapl. but Stripe do not surpport Taiwan , Paypal only support Taiwan transfer to other countries but who is a Taiwanese they could not transfer each other in Taiwan. That's why you could see my e-commerence site ( https://shop.toybrains.com/ ) uses shopline (which is largest in HK and TW) Suggest you could link up with this https://www.ecpay.com.tw/Intro/Ecpay_en, your Taiwan business will be boomed up. Forum funtion : if you could add SQS forum funtion as a funtion no my website, would love to pay for that. Reddit never dies because they have forum for communities to chat. Search funtion improvement : I have used search for 3 yrs , but it never satisfy me. Always shows no results .
