Client Relationship Management vs. Project Management tools

As a business newb (or even a business pro), you’ve probably heard other entrepreneurs tossing around phrases like “client management” or acronyms like “CRM” or “PM” and you might not have any idea what they mean.

Maybe you bought something like Dubsado or Honeybook and now you’re confused because you don’t understand why people are also using a PM/Project Management tool –and how do they integrate? Why do you need both?

Squarespace SEO: Optimizing Images

Are you frustrated with uploading large images to your website (but didn’t know there was another way)?
‘I’m pulling out my hair over here!’ 🤬

Don’t know what to name your image files?
‘Is IMG_0321-edit1.jpg is wrong?’ 😨

Think it doesn’t matter what you name your files, or how large they are?
‘Yes, no one can see the file name anyway!’ 😏
(You’re wrong about that, BTdubbs.)

Optimizing images for Squarespace SEO purposes (and the web in general) isn’t actually hard or time consuming, so this’ll be quick, with lots of screenshots!

Afraid to fail? Don’t let it stop you from getting started!

Today my advice is a little more personal. Today I want you to decide to stop letting your fear of failure get in the way of your success.

Look, I know. If you're reading this, you're probably thinking, "But I'm not afraid? I have real, legitimate struggles to overcome before I can do anything at all."

I wholeheartedly disagree, and here's why!

How to create drop-down navigation menus on Squarespace

My older sister’s gym website was one of my first client sites that I built on Squarespace. Actually, I set up the basics for her and she took it over from there, transforming it into whatever she needed it to be.

So, imagine my stupid moment, when a couple years later, I realize she doesn’t like the long string of navigation links across the top. It was like that because she didn’t realize Squarespace has the ability to create drop-down menus, or how to do it obviously.

I dropped the ball on that for her, not that she was pissed about it, but I felt a bit bad about missing that detail. We’re actually in the middle of a total site redo anyway, so it’ll be fixed going forward. 🤦🏼‍♀️

That situation made me realize that I had taken my own knowledge for granted & assumed she knew, but it’s actually not an obvious thing.

Since it’s not obvious, even to the technically savvy like my sister, I’m sharing this quick tutorial with you! Let’s get to it.

Katelyn, here!
