Introduce your business!

Recommended Posts

Hello! 

I've been a Circle Member so long that my original "Introduce Yourself" Post was made a couple of forums ago, and didn't seem to survive the migration. But I'm still here! (Trying to be more active in these forums lately...)

I help people grow businesses of all sizes by creating engaging digital experiences, websites, & apps. I'm Managing Partner at Reiff Valliant & Co. (reiffvalliant.co.) & Founder of SqueakWorks (2.0) (squeakworks.com). You can see what else I may be up to at danielreiff.com.

As a Technical Lead, Creative, and 23 year industry veteran specializing in all things Web & Digital, I've successfully deployed hundreds of websites, including projects for startups that contributed to high-profile acquisitions by companies such as Facebook(Meta), Motorola, and Boingo Wireless.

My digital agency & web development house's original name was SqueakWorks (1.0). We were proudly page ranked in Google search near the top of page #1 under "Squarespace Specialists" for nearly a decade, and were one of the very first listed in the old specialist directory. Our scope and services offered has greatly expanded, and our name and structure changed, but we still use Squarespace quite a bit.

We still consider ourselves "Squarespace Specialists", so please feel free to reach out! (And yes, we are "Experts" too... for the record, we were invited to join the new Squarespace Marketplace back in 2018 when it was first launching, but declined due to 99Designs terms of service.) When it comes to Squarespace, I've pretty much seen it all, so let me know how I can help. My agency reiffvalliant.co also handles many many other technical and creative requests as well, large and small.

We did however miss the old name SqueakWorks (and its cute mascot), so I just launched a new startup (2.0) that is focused on more custom development outside the scope of Squarespace, so if you are feeling like Squarespace just isn't meeting your website needs, please check us out there as well!  squeakworks.com.

Hey everyone, 

I'm brand new here. 

But I am a Squarespace SEO consultant based in the UK.

I am starting to specialise in helping Squarespace more and more to help users improve their website's search engine visibility and you have even managed to find me as I rank #1 for "Squarespace SEO consultant" in the UK.

If interested, you can visit my website at harryboxhall.co.uk to learn more about my services and see examples of my work.

Super excited to join this forum and connect with other Squarespace specialists. I am always eager to learn from others and share my own knowledge and experience to help others improve their Squarespace websites. I am looking forward to working together and helping each other grow our online presence.

As you can see from my site, I am certainly no designer - but please reach out if you're struggling SEO wise - I'd be happy to help.

First post since joining as a Circle Member! 

My partner and I just launched a boutique digital marketing agency, Ten Two Marketing, based in beautiful North Vancouver, Canada. We've been in shadow mode for a little bit managing a few clients and are just now starting to make it more official with the launch of a website! I know right - digital marketers without a website?! Working on other people's digital presence is just more fun I guess. 

We focus mainly on digital strategy, social media management, and content creation for underserved small to midsize businesses. My partner is the marketing specialist and I'm more of the back-end digital strategist, so it's great to have this community of gurus to tap into when help is needed. 

Check us out at www.tentwomarketing.com and let me know what you think of the first cut of our Squarespace site. Thanks 🙂

Hi, I am just new to Circle.  I got a welcome email "Get to know your Circle community", but the link from the campaign email is going to a page that no longer exists.  https://forum.squarespace.com/forum/109-introduce-yourself.  

I am part of a 2-person agency in Brisbane, Australia, called Pixel Portal, established 2009. We build on a number of platforms including Squarespace. I have been building on Squarespace on other client accounts since about 2014, so a mix of business and ecommerce websites. 

Nice to be a part of Circle.

Hello world!

My name is Justin and I am the founder of Beardo Designs.  Just another weirdo with a beard that designs cool stuff. I dabbled with Squarespace years ago before going on to WordPress.  My fascination for web design started and I have been learning here and there trying to grow and learn while working for a local beard company.  Well, here I am again back at it but this time I have a much better grasp of things and felt I could offer my services to others that are needing help or wanting a website created.  I am still in the design phase and hope to have my site up sooner than later.  There is still a lot to learn and I am finding a lot of inspiration amongst other fellow squares. I am excited to see where this journey takes me and looking forward to meeting like-minded individuals. I will update this page once my site is live.

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.

Howdy, I'm Cheyenne!

I run a branding and website development company focusing on women-owned, product-based companies here in the US.

I have a love for data analysis and often find myself using that skill to improve design, functionality, accessibility, and more for my clients.

My business partner, Theresa, takes care of a lot of our visual aesthetics and emotional messaging. We both love experimenting and prioritizing FUN in our biz. Fun fact- we met on Instagram in 2016ish, started our company in 2019, and are barely going to meet in real life tomorrow (March 31, 2023). It's been such a fun ride growing with her!

 

You can find us over at Raine and Rose Co.

Hello! I'm Stacey and I'm in the Atlanta, Georgia area. I've just recently re-entered the website design / SEO / copywriting world after seeing a big need in my new field. After 20+ years in IT wearing multiple hats, I did a big career change and became a mental health counselor about 5 years ago. I love this work, but I also love diving into and playing around with websites! Squarespace provides a great platform to do that quickly but with the ability to customize as needed. 

In my business relaunch, I'm focusing on custom Squarespace websites for therapists in private practice. I'm glad to be part of this Circle community!

My name is Eddy Winding and I am sending my greetings from Copenhagen, Denmark.  For over 20 years, I was an independent IT professional specialised in graphic design and web design while living in the USA, Spain, and currently in Denmark. I took a 12 years pause from the IT world and currently I am a Physiotherapist running my Wellness Center in Copenhagen. Now that I've done my homework, and my wellness center runs by itself, I am restarting and renewing my IT professional services again, and looking so much forward to go back into the web design under this amazing SquareSpace platform I have been using for the past 8+ years?? and I must say that SquareSpace is a blessing. Thank you for this opportunity.

Hi! I'm Kirra Balmanno – the founder of Vetli – a digital telemedicine platform, connecting pet owners with veterinarians through 24/7, on-demand video consultations. 

I became a veterinarian because of my deep love for animals and my immense curiosity to learn, That curiosity didn't stop after graduating ten years ago and has drawn my down the extraordinary path of entrepreneurship. 

As an elite ultra runner as well, I spend a lot of my time in the mountains, between the Alps and the Himalayas, training and racing. I wanted to create a solution so that I could continue to ultilise my unique skills as a vet, location-independently, along with providing better access to veterinary care that was otherwise unavailable. 

Veterinary telemedicine has been on my mind for a long time, yet up until COVID, regulations in the veterinary sector would not permit it. Now, through the growth and success of human telemedicine and a more open stance on the benefits of technology, we're able to provide this extra layer of care to animals as well. 

So Vetli was born, as a way to create an opportunity for veterinarians to provide their skills, location-independently, along with providing an affordable and accessible way for pet owners to connect with vets when they are unsure if their pet needs an in-clinic visit or want professional advice wherever they are. 

We have just launched our MVP in Hong Kong and looking forward to expanding to other regions in the near future!

If you're interested about Vetli, please check us out – we are always grateful for feedback, and for those not Hong Kong-based but would like this service in your area, I would be stoked if you would let me know at kirra@wearevetli.com 🙂
