Love your videos man. I've been developing for 20 years and I've just gotten back to seriously freelancing (used to do wordpress/flash/custom freelancing back in the day... ancient history now lol). I realized that squarespace allows me to focus on design (I always preferred the visuals to coding, but I like LOTS of control so I can make my designs unique) so I started there. Your videos are helping me ramp us fast and also helping a lot with the client/pricing portion. A lot has changed since I was developing on my own and I'd focused on the 9-5 mostly for the last decade. I'm going to join your community soon (the holidays have me pinching pennies a little but I see the value), I'd love to learn from and grow with others. Keep going with the client/pricing videos b/c those are the ones that are so valuable to me. Hope to connect more soon!
Thank you for this video. I definitely loved these ideas. I will implement this immediately. All the best.
In regards to Squarespace Circle, on the site it says Acuity is included, but from doing the application it's pretty much saying I do not have 3 sites.
Hello David, quick question, can the circle member perks be extended to my own portfolio website?
Maybe have a live site running on free trial for the next six month?
Great video. The link you refer to for a video on process- nothing appears on my playback. Can you help with a link?
When you talk about help in the Community to qualify for Circle, is that available on ‘Designer Growth’?

Great video! The one thing though I didn’t understand is if you don’t use your credit card and they use their credit card do they transfer the account to you? How does that work?

So- the client opens an account & either gives me access to their site, or I create their site on my account and add them as a viewer? Then I transfer the site over to them?
second option, yes! This video will cover it in more depth: ua-cam.com/video/7ZIbuspqMhs/v-deo.html
