I've since deprecated my ClickUp portal bc I find that between that & Notion, most clients feel more overwhelmed & confused using ClickUp so I've stopped using it in ClickUp. That said, you can see it in this video ua-cam.com/video/_4Fe7NoyJoI/v-deo.htmlsi=N-KRXrF35GZT2W3Y & that deprecated (no longer updated) version is still available in my Client Portal template in my shop if you wanted to use it, you're welcome to! www.launchthedamnthing.com/shop 😃

Awesome. So glad it was helpful! 😃🙌🏻

So glad you enjoyed it! I have been using this method for months now & haven't seen any negative impact on the actual referral links yet! So as long as your redirect, redirects to the full referral link you're given it should still function correctly after redirecting! 😁

So happy you enjoyed it! Thank YOU for telling me! YES - you can see those survey results in Paige's blog post here: www.paigebrunton.com/web-designer-salary-and-pricing-survey-results

Hahaha! YES --me too. Her quitting social was part of what gave me 'permission' to do it too! Pretty sure I quit shortly after her announcement about it. lol --And YES! Just write good content to start with, and then you can work on getting better SEO bits & pieces along the way!

Good question! Technically I believe that messes with the hierarchy of importance in the HTML structure, making it appear that YOU think the P1 is more important than the H1 and so could confuse Google when it scans the site, but as long as it's not done often I've not seen any adverse side affects from doing this when I need to. 😊

Thank you!!

You're so welcome! 😁 I don't have a behind the scenes video specifically for branding from start to finish for 1 client or project, because I don't offer that by itself anymore (just not my happy place), but I do have a couple videos that talk about branding I've done for clients & brand mistakes I've made myself, plus various tips learned along the way! I don't have the YT video links in front of me but here are the blog links, if there's a video for it, they're embedded in the post. Hope that helps!

Both pages (the Client Database + the Public Project Availability) need to be "published" so the calendar you edit on the Client Database page will be able to display on the Public Project Avail. page. 😁

Thank you for the kind words! 😍 Interesting! What size is your PDF? The limit is 20MB if uploading to Squarespace's files, I believe (last I checked). So this new one might just be too big? As far as I know, they still support them! Here's their help center article for more detail: support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/205813928-Uploading-and-managing-files 😃

You're quite welcome! 😁 Happy to hear it helped you!

Great question! Yes, funnels are very easy to build in ThriveCart, especially if you use one of the systems that integrate well with it. So building a funnel to deliver a free or paid item, then introducing an upsell during checkout, even a downsell if they don't do the upsell, and then connecting that person's checkout decision to the right delivery, and dumping them into your email marketing software so you can update them about new product updates for what they got + new items, sales, etc. All of that can be done with ThriveCart and one of the email marketing integrations they connect with, such as ConvertKit, ActiveCampaign, MailerLite, etc. You can also build landing pages in ThriveCart with custom domains, though I prefer to do that in my website builder and just embed the checkout or link to the checkout, because while ThriveCart's page builder is pretty good, it's still not on par with most dedicated website builders, so you can get a lot more custom with platforms like Squarespace, Webflow, Showit, Wix, etc in the design of the sales/landing page, and still connect it to your checkout. ThriveCart does offer full page checkout pages, popup checkouts from an embedded button, embeddable checkouts (no popup), and full sales page designs + checkout pages. So there's a TON of flexibility! Basically, ThriveCart is just a checkout system + learning management system (courses), which can be used along side your email marketing and website platforms for the full stack of capabilities related to the process of collecting sales & subscribers. It's the same as you'd get with something like Kajabi, but with much more customization, while lacking a few of their 'core' features (like communities), and without paying exorbitant monthly/annual pricing. The problem most people have with services like Kajabi is that they offer too much all in one, so none of their individual features are "that great" because they're not specializing in any one of them. Whereas with ThriveCart, they specialize very clearly in checkouts, funnels, and connecting your customers to other systems via native (Zapier-free) integrations. ThriveCart works very easily with any website platform too, which is basically like having Kajabi, except YOU get to pick which software you use for email marketing, which software you use for your website, and for your checkout systems + course management, and for your communities, etc. based on which options YOU LOVE to use & find the most relatable features in. Versus an all-in-one where you pay slightly less per month total ($100-300/mo) bc they do it all for you in-house, but to make that Kajabi/Kartra/FG Funnels price cost effective you HAVE to use everything in-house even if you don't like how it works or wish it offered features it doesn't have yet, etc. Hopefully that makes sense! 😁 You can see ThriveCart's list of native integrations here: support.thrivecart.com/help-categories/integrations/

@@launchthedamnthing thanks so much for such a great explanation !! That really helps🫶🫶🫶

@@launchthedamnthing I thought Kajabi was more expensive which is why I didn't choose to use it...but you are saying it is cheaper...?

@@erinjrock You're welcome! 😃 Ah, that's a good clarifying question. I've never paid for it myself & used it as a business owner (only as a student) but from what I've heard from people who have either researched switching to it from Teachable, etc or have switched to it & love it, or switched to it and then back to something else --the consensus is that it ONLY makes financial sense to pay that much per month if you plan to use all or most of the built-in features: their email marketing service, their checkouts, their community, their course platform, etc. The ONLY reason it would be cheaper, is for the folks that already have softwares & systems they love, and if considering a switch to Kajabi, don't like or want to use their email marketing, checkout systems, or communities, -just their course management platform, for example. At that cost of $150/200+ per month for just Kajabi, plus $50+/mo for ConvertKit/Kit, + $900 for ThriveCart (one-time) or regular monthly payments for SamCart, + $99/mo for Circle, etc --that gets VERY expensive, VERY quickly & makes Kajabi as a whole look cheaper vs paying for these features separately from different companies. But from what I hear, most people that use other external softwares don't want to switch to the version that's included in an all-in-one, because it's not as robust. All-in-one softwares are tricky, if they're older & have been around for a long time like Kajabi, they can offer fairly robust solutions to all of their feature sets. But typically, still, each individual feature they offer still lacks stuff that other specialty softwares offer, because Kajabi has too much going on to update & tweak, to make its Communities feature up to par with something like Circle, or their email marketing features comparable to ConvertKit/Kit --it's just not possible because they are trying to be masters of all, versus specializing in one thing. Hopefully that clarifies! It's not that it's "cheap" by any stretch. It's only cheaper if you want to stop paying monthly subscriptions to multiple third-parties & start paying 1 subscription for access to whatever you want to use in the all-in-one one platform. 😁

Yay! I'm so glad to hear that. Hope it was helpful for you! 😁

You're welcome! 😁

Without seeing the issue, it sounds like the content just isn't aligned to the top of the block, which is a Squarespace setting.

​@@launchthedamnthing Hi again, I have found a solution to the issue. The content doesn't shift down anymore and everything seems to work fine. Thank you!

Good question! ThriveCart has a few how-to/support articles on those parts of set up, so I'd start with that. It's not hard, but has a too many steps to guide ya here in a comment; hopefully these will help ya work it out though! 😃 ✔ How to add the T&C checkbox in checkout: support.thrivecart.com/help/adding-terms-conditions-to-your-checkout-page/ ✔ How to add a custom checkbox in checkout for opt-ins: support.thrivecart.com/help/custom-fields/ ✔ How to integrate ConvertKit with ThriveCart: support.thrivecart.com/help/convertkit/ ✔ How to add customers to your autoresponder (in this case, ConvertKit): support.thrivecart.com/help/adding-customers-to-your-autoresponder/

You're welcome! So glad it was helpful! There's not a whole lot of information on it, so if you want to dive in a little further, check out the whole video & other notes here: www.launchthedamnthing.com/blog/choose-color-palette-and-edit-color-themes 😁

Yes! Exactly. Wait for them to become the owner (& before that, that they've paid you for the project), then have them subscribe to Squarespace once you've made them the owner of the site. You just design it on a free trial until then. If you're Transferring the domain from another company to Squarespace (moving the management of it from GoDaddy to Sqsp, for example), then you can only connect the domain if they pay for the domain when it's transferred -so in that case I typically wait until they are the owner & guide them through it on that same call. You can "Connect" the domain any time though, for free, because it's managed elsewhere & just 'pointing' to the new site on Sqsp. That said, you won't want to connect the domain from a live site to a 'broken' (draft/unpublished) site until it's ready in most cases, so again it's better to wait until after it's ready to 'go live' to connect it at the end, after transferring ownership, even though it's free to Connect it. Hope that makes sense! 😊

Thank you! So glad it was insightful for you. 😁

Yay! So glad it was helpful. 😁 Since I made this video last year, UA-cam has changed somethings a couple of times, but it still works! Sometimes I have to 'publish' the video to Unlisted, grab the share/embed link, and then schedule it to publish "for real" whenever I'd intended. As long as it's unlisted it will still embed wherever ya need it & stay there for a short time so it'll be in the blog post when it goes live too. 🙌 Hopefully that makes sense. LOL

@@launchthedamnthing That’s what I had to do. In fact, I had to make it Unlisted in order to get the Share option to find the Embed code. But it worked! Thank you so much!

@@MyFullandFulfilledLife Perfection! 😁 So glad it worked well for you too, despite the changes!

Aw, thank you Rachel! That's so sweet!! 🤩

Good point! Thanks for sharing! 😁

Not yet, but that's a great suggestion! You have 4 main options: 1) create it in a regular page elsewhere (in Not Linked), when you're done save all the sections, then go create the new page in Portfolio collections and apply those Saved Sections to get it done quickly while it's live. 2) Use a third-party plugin like this one to mark the page as a draft so it own't show on the live site while you're working on building it out. This is one that's worked well in the past: schwartz-edmisten.com/blog/how-to-set-squarespace-portfolio-items-to-draft 3) just learn that it's not a big deal if people see in-progress work while you're creating it; name the page "coming soon" to imply it's being built or not available yet, and build it while it's live. 4) duplicate an existing portfolio page & edit the copy to make publishing go faster bc you're not building from scratch; works great with option 3. Hope that helps! 😊

Yay! So glad it helped! 😁

Hahaha! You're welcome! That's definitely something I've never tried before, but so glad this helped you!! If that webfont you found in Inspect mode is NOT available in Site Styles, do make sure you go track down the web font license somewhere & grab your own, just in case; there actually are services/robots/people who search specifically for fonts being used on websites without a license & I'm not sure how they know/don't know whether we have one or not, BUT it will never hurt to have proof that you DO have the "right" to use that font on your website. Penalties seem to range between 'just buy the license now' and 'you owe us licensing fees for all the months/years you've been using that font on your site x the monthly traffic that saw it.' (paraphrased, of course) 😬😳🫣 If that webfont is for a font that IS available in Site Styles, then you don't have to worry about getting your own font license (unless you also want to use it outside of Squarespace, like in Canva, etc), because Squarespace buys the commercial use licenses for all of those fonts so that we don't have to. 😊

@@launchthedamnthing GREAT call out - thanks!!!

@@richmarshall1356 You’re welcome! 😁

Yes, they buy anything they want to own as I don't want to manage the billing for things I think my clients should have ownership for. 😁 But a domain is NOT required for trial sites, so they don't need to buy it until they're ready, and they can buy it in their own account (in Squarespace, or not) and we can connect it on or after the launch call at the end of the project when the design is finished. 😃 Here's the process on transferring the site to the client: ua-cam.com/video/UQs94uSR_Rs/v-deo.htmlsi=I53Sb0x_aK8RLtc2 Once they have ownership, then they can put in their own billing information & I can walk them through (or do it for them after the call if needed) connecting the domain to it at that point. 😊

Haha! 😁 It took me a while to figure out too. So glad it helped!! 😃

You're welcome! 😁 So happy it helped!!

YAY! Thank you so much for sharing that! So happy to hear that it was helpful in solving your problems & easing frustrations. 🤩 Music to my ears!!

Happy to validate that for you! You can absolutely do whatever you want, but it's good to remember that not ALL work is worth the money ALL the time. Do what you need to pay the bills, but also keep your own mental health top of mind in the process so you don't burn out (bc there's no one to replace you when you're out). 😄 Good question. For me, I just hate the backend setup for products: payment processors, shipping, taxes, etc. None of that is easy to deal with, in my opinion. Plus, for larger shops I have to put a cap on how many products I'll pre-load into their store for them or the projects could potentially go on forever, and I don't "love" that experience for the client; in these cases I will teach them how to load in the rest, because they should know how to do that anyway, but it's not a 100% done-for-you process if they have to finish it up themselves. None of that is the end of the world; it's just not my preference! I also feel like I can get a bit more creative with page layouts for service-based businesses, than I can for product-based businesses because there's less structure needed for the content itself. I definitely encourage you to try it out though & see what YOU like working on best! 😃

Yes! That's what I do too for the Home page draft, because at that point I haven't designed the rest yet & just want to know if I'm on the right track so most buttons aren't linked yet.
