    What Dogs Can Teach Us About Squarespace Web Design with Kristine Neil

    In this episode, Will and Christy talk about everything from big Squarespace updates (especially around e-commerce), to taking real sick days (or not), and why it’s actually okay if your website isn’t the prettiest thing on the internet. We get into what dogs can teach us about web design, using loyalty and clear directions as guiding lights, and even where to find that “sunny spot” for your work and wellbeing. You’ll walk away with practical changes you can make to your Squarespace site, and a few reminders that taking care of yourself is just as important as impressing your clients. Oh, and we share a lot of love for pets, so if that’s your thing, stick around!
