7 Things You Need To Know About Squarespace Circle
So, hey! Yay! I’m a new Squarespace Circle Member & I couldn’t be more excited.
I’m now able to offer my web design clients even more value in their package. If you know me, you know how much I adore Squarespace for all small business needs. We are a bit hot & heavy & going steady.
I was just accepted to become part of their designer forum called the Squarespace Circle. But what does that mean to you, the client?
1- 20 % DISCOUNT
I’m always down to save money, & if you are running a small business, I’m sure you know the difficulty in finding quality resources with reasonable price tags. This is the very best discount you are going to find, I can almost guarantee it. As a Circle member, I am able to offer you 20% off your annual subscription (which also comes with a free domain for a year. WIN freaking WIN!
2- SIX MONTH FREE TRIAL
The normal free trial offered by Squarespace is only 2 weeks. Don’t get me wrong, any free trial is amazing but building a quality site takes more than 2 weeks unless you don’t take coffee or pee breaks, & that just sounds both gross and miserable. A 2-week trial means as a client you will end up paying for your site before it is even live to the public. With a Squarespace Circle designer you will have 6 whole months to work on your site without feeling like you’re losing money.
3-OPTIMISED CUSTOMER CARE
I’m important, damnit! I mean, sometimes. Ok, only when I ask Squarespace a question but hey, gotta start somewhere. As a Circle member I get the already incredible customer service but I am flagged as an “experienced user” & get special treatment. That’s really the only time I am ever flagged for something appropriate.
4- INSIDER KNOWLEDGE
As your designer, I get exclusive goods, pre-releases & beta features before anyone else. That means your site gets exclusive goods, pre-releases & beta features before anyone else. And we all know how important it is to get ahead of the curve & leave your competition in your rubber. (Or is it dust? Russ, help me out!)
5- COMMUNITY OF EXPERTS
I finally have friends who will actually enjoy my conversations about indexes, accordian pages, funnels, spacing, commerce, site styles, and yeah, you get the point. You should see my fiance’s feigned interest when I go off on a tangent. He’s sweet. But now, I get to reach out to other designers for networking, collaborating & help.
6- AUTHORIZED TRAINER TRAINING
As a Circle member, I am now eligible to be chosen for Authorized Trainer classes & workshops to become e recognized, trained, accredited Squarespace designer & the opportunity to train fellow designers. This is the next step, folks! I am so excited to learn more to serve my clients better!
7- BADGE
This is more just a shameless plus for myself. I get a freaking badge, guys! But really, when looking for a web designer, look for someone who is working to better their abilities & are open to working with other designers. It will show you so much about their character as a designer which is almost as important as their design eye. Find a good person who happens to be a designer. It makes such a difference in your work relationship.
