Start Your Own Squarespace Design Business!
Learn how to turn your design knowledge into a functional and successful online business.
In this course, I outline the procedures I use to run my Squarespace design business which continues to grow in revenue every single year and has given me wonderful freedom to not only work from home, but to be able to craft my own schedule. Becoming a Squarespace designer changed my life, and I think during these new times we find ourselves in, where so many businesses are having to transition to the online marketplace in order to stay afloat, becoming a self-employed web designer is a really smart move.
