    Entrepreneur Maternity Leave while Building an Agency with Kelsey Gilbert-Kreiling

    In this episode, Will and Christy touch base about wrangling code updates, keeping up with Squarespace’s ongoing changes, and the debate between live and pre-recorded marketing. Then they bring in Kelsey Gilbert Kryling, founder of Week of the Website, to talk honestly about what it’s like running an agency and the day-to-day realities of digital business. Kelsey shares what it takes to balance work and family life, the practical realities of maternity leave, and her biggest lessons on team structure and workflow. If you’re weighing freelance vs. agency life or planning to step back for family or health, Kelsey’s open-book approach is both reassuring and eye-opening. They also take a few minutes to celebrate simple wins, like the joy of a good pastry!

    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!
