Squarespace's New Save Functionality

Ever since we've started working on Squarespace 6, the auto-save has been pretty great, and more than great— it's something we've come to use and rely-on. Until now... [continue after video]

As of now (5/9/2012 is when I first noticed), when making any change on any page the user gets a prompt to save changes.

If you don't "save", the user get's an alert — a last chance opportunity to save or cancel changes. 

Content Structure & Style - Season Three

We've relaunched our Squarespace podcast! This season, we're using Google Hangout so you can get a good look at our faces, so maybe it's less-podcast'y and more-embarrasing'y.

Streamed live on Apr 18, 2013

Your three favorite Squarespace fans are back with a brand new invention and the season three premiere of Content, Structure & Style, a video podcast dedicated to the Squarespace web publishing platform.

In this episode we heard what Alan Houser , Brandon Davenport, and Josh Braaten have been up to since season two of the unofficial Squarespace podcast, explored what's new in the world of Squarespace, and started to dive into a hands-on migration for ContentStructureStyle.com from Squarespace v5 to Squarespace 6.

This video was originally broadcasted via Google+ Hangout on Air at 7:00 p.m. CDT (8:00 p.m. EDT, 5:00 p.m. PDT) on April 18, 2013.

Podcast as a Marketing Tool - Featuring... Me!

I was thrilled to be a guest on Roundpeg's "More Than a Few Words" podcast to talk about my experience with podcast production. It was lots of fun, and quite interesting to be on "this side" of the microphone.

Listen to MTFW's "Podcast as a Marketing Tool" →

More than a Few Words is a half hour program for small business owners featuring interviews and open discussions about marketing, social media, web design, and networking. Guests include a mix of experts who share tips, strategies and real world examples and business owners who speak from a "been there, done that" perspective. 

Visit Roundpeg and tell them we said hello!

Behold, Squarespace Commerce

One of many great functions of Squarespace Commerce: selling directly to Facebook from INSIDE your Squarespace site. 

A double-secret first-look at Squarespace 6 E-commerce (Video)

You read correctly— Squarespace is shaking the e-commerce tree, and it's freaking fantastic. 

What gives me the chills, is the ability to drag products around the page using V6's "Layout Engine" functionality, the same way you can with images, videos, maps, code blocks, quote blocks, etc.

This drastically changes things for the retailer who wants to bring a custom flair to their online store. 

Squarespace E-commerce integrates with Stripe, and is only available in the USA right now (assuming it's because of Stripe's US-only reach currently).

Give Squarespace a try— just get in there and play a little to see what you can do! Squarespace.com (and when you find there's stuff you can't do, give Squareflair a shout)
