Nick_SquareKicker

Hi there!
 
My name is Lexi - Co-Founder of Dynamo Ultima. I wanted to introduce myself!

I am a brand strategist, web designer & sales page expert! My fiance and I run our design studio together and have been for 8 years. We live in Portland, Oregon!
Right now our design studio offers two ways to work with us..

VIP Design Days: we create full brand + websites in Squarespace during these days for our clients!
Sales Page Lab: My newest program I am launching next month to help my clients and our audience learn to design converting, strategic and aesthetically beautiful sales pages for their launches!

I am really excited about the new Fluid Engine, I have been designing in Squarespace since 2013 - so this update is definitely going to change the game, I have had so many people ask me to design in ShowIt - but i've always loved Squarespace and have experience with code and am able to create completely custom sites in Squarespace. This update will help with a lot of the clients asking about Showit, now I can tell them Squarespace is able to do mostly the same thing!
Anyway, I have been on circle for a long time, but never introduced myself properly. :)

OHMY GOD!!! thank you!!!!!! I was wrestling with this for 2 days!!!!!! NO HELP FROM SQUARESPACE SUPPORT!!

I'm a partner at Levie, an independent branding and design agency based in Miami which I co-founded and run with my wife since 2013.
Our agency's ethos is to build authentic connection between brands and people through strategic design.
We specialize in branding, packaging design, visual communications, positioning strategy, and web design.
From local to global brands, our team has consistently designed identities and positioned businesses that have become market leaders in their respective industries.
We design for clients in a variety of sectors, including retail, consumer goods, hospitality, real estate, international development, large-scale conferences, and the spirits industry.

Hi, I'm Anna...
My business, Anna Spencer Creative Media & Design offers affordable website design, maintenance and support for churches, non-profits and small businesses.  I am also a social media consultant, graphic designer and blogger.  I became passionate about working with churches, non-profits and small businesses in 2018 while I was helping my own church with a website redesign project.  It was obvious that organizations with little to no money needed a budget-friendly option to create their own digital presence in order to be competitive in today's business climate.  That's where I come in.  I show clients how to get the most for their money through Squarespace websites AND I train their staff on how to maintain their websites in house OR offer an hourly rate to maintain the website for them.  In addition, I contract services for various social media products.  While my business is less than five years old, I'm excited about what I do and love all the opportunities technology makes available to organizations of all sizes.

SQUARESPACE HAS REMOVED THE EMBED "<>" FEATURE FOR ADDING IFRAME IN VIDEO BLOCKS.  THIS MEANS THAT YOU NEED TO USE A EMBDED BLOCK INSTEAD. HOWEVER, YOU ALSO NEED THE BELOW CSS ADDED TO YOUR CUSTOM CSS AREA TO MAKE THE IFRAME FILL THE EMBED BLOCKS.
The below screenshot is a youtube iframe embed code in an embed block. The embed block on the left is a iframe without CSS , the embed block on the right is an iframe with the necessary css.

Hi @rebeccagracedesigns, 
I've gotten a few customer support tickets from SquareKicker customers complaining about Squarespace not working because the SK UI keeps closing.  I found this code above was the issue and after searching google for it, it lead me here.
Because it initiates a "Click" every 3-5 seconds, when in EDIT MODE when you open something on Squarespace, (SQSP UI or even Add Section) 3 seconds later it closes.  This is because the code above is simulating a click on the screen which force closes the UI.
It also should only be in the header injection of a page with a carousel NOT the footer, otherwise your websites console triggers an error every 3 seconds, which is not great for SEO or performance.
This code really needs to be wrapped in "Do not run this if the page is in Edit Mode." See code update below:
NOTE: For Squarespace 7.1 (untested on 7.0)
<script> if $( 'body.sqs-edit-mode-active').length ) { window.onload = function() {   var nextArrow = document.querySelector(".summary-carousel-pager-next");      function clickNext() {     nextArrow.click();   }     setInterval(clickNext, 3000); }; } </script>

Hello ! 

It's cool to read about everyone and their business here- thanks for sharing. 

The pandemic had me reevaluate my life, and what i wanted to do- so I wrote a business plan, made a mock website, found an investor,  sold most of my belongings in Atlantic Canada, and moved to Thailand to start a yacht charter company. 

www.sunkissedyachting.com 

We currently own a 38ft sailing catamaran here which we bought in Indonesia and I sailed back to Phuket, and i also have access to another 40ft catamaran. 

Right now I am just about finished with the regulatory hoops, and insurance and all that jazz and I am just waiting for rainy season to pass us by in hopes of a strong start later this year.

If anyone is coming out this way, lets link up!

Cheers

Logan



 

Hi! I'm a photographer and graphic designer in Kansas City. I have a degree in graphic design and have worked as a designer for about ten years. My absolute passion is photography though!

My name is Nick and I’m the founder of SquareKicker.com. SquareKicker is an intuitive, no-code Squarespace design and animation extension which allows you to bring your Squarespace websites to the next level.
SquareKicker started as an idea while I was working as a freelance web designer. As my business Frontier Media grew I began hiring more staff to help me develop custom websites.
When COVID hit New Zealand in March 2020, we went into lockdown and spent all of our time working on the idea I had for SquareKicker.
After proof of concept took shape, my wife and I took out a second mortgage and scaled our team and released SquareKicker to the world in October 2020. It’s grown ALOT since then with over 3500 websites in the last 12 months.
We are continuing to push the boundaries of what’s possible with no-code web design so anyone can create their unique design without any complex technical barriers. 
We are currently a team of 6. You can read and watch more about our company on our website here: https://squarekicker.com/company

Hi Everyone 🙂,
I'm a copywriter and marketing consultant. I've had my Squarespace site since I think version 6. The consultant part of what I do is primarily website audits for SEO and UX and building new sites on 7.1. 
My freelance business is my part-time hobby / side project that helps me stay fresh. I'm a full time marketing manager. 
Check out my site www.pocketwriter.biz 
Totally feel free to hit me up there or here if you think I can help in any way. 

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!
I run a brand design studio, and I recently launched my second business, where I offer design templates and resources to help small businesses thrive and grow.
We currently offer website templates, but have a whole host of business plan and strategy workbooks, plugins, and stock photos on the way!
After working with 500+ businesses in the last few years and starting several businesses of my own, I know how hard starting a business can be, and I wanted to create a resource to make sure other business owners don't have to struggle on their own.
I am looking for designers and developers to help us build product collections—if this is you, feel free to reach out 🙂

Yes, Squarespace recently removed support for embed code from Video Blocks. You can still add Vimeo and YouTube URLs but not embed codes. These must be added using Embed Blocks and this does require you to specify dimensions.

First time Squarespace user and had a lot of fun with the design process!

Hello! I'm a writer, photographer, and fairly new graphic designer. I dipped my toe in Circle three years ago, but wasn't serious about building websites until recently. I have enough clients and sites now to need some extra input at times and I'm super grateful Circle is here.  www.michellemcafee.com
