In this blog post, I explore how the power of AI, and specifically Chat GPT, can be used to gather important information about ideal customers. To put the tool to the test, I used a simple ‘role play’ prompt and a ‘conversation’ between an artist and the head of a leading art gallery in New York or LA, to try to bring some clarity to what this ideal client might be searching for when it comes to adding an artist to the gallery roster.

One of the questions I get from clients who have an existing site is “Can Squarespace host my domain? The answer is yes. But, you need to know that you have 2 options. The first option is to transfer your domain to Squarespace when you launch your new site. The second option is to keep your domain with your existing registrar and connect to it from your new site. In this post, we’ll review each of these options.

Email marketing is, hands down, one of the most powerful tools you can use in your creative business. A well-maintained email list can drive traffic to your website, help attract potential new fans and customers to your work, and boost your overall revenue.

Professional designers will usually agree on this point. You can separate great design from average design by the use of typography. There is a lot to learn about typography, as in any field, but there are also a few basic rules that will help you avoid making mistakes related to font use. In this post, I’m deliberately keeping things simple so that you can create a standout brand identity without getting lost in too much detail.

Squarespace and Wix are both great website builder platforms, but they also stack up very differently based on where you currently are in your business, and where you might want to take it in the future. In this infographic post, I’m going to share a snapshot comparison of both website builders, so you can identify some of the features that are important to you at a glance.

I used to build client sites on other platforms, and now I only build sites using this design-driven, user-friendly, performance-focused solution. Here are the reasons I recommend Squarespace as a preferred solution for creative entrepreneurs who operate in visual-first industries.

One of the questions I get asked most is “which website builder is best?” The answer to that question is “it depends.” There are a lot of options on the market, so it really boils down to what kind of features and functionality you’re looking for, as well as your degree of comfort with the tech side of things. Both Squarespace and Wordpress offer powerful solutions, so I’ve created an infographic for comparison.

Every now and then, I’ll hop on to Twitter to see what’s happening, and yesterday I noticed that #DeleteFacebook was trending. We’ve all seen those calls to delete social media, which seem to come and go mostly, but not always, around concerns about data privacy. I don’t judge others for signing off or deleting their accounts (I’ve felt that way at some point myself), but I also see the value so many of these tech companies provide. As someone who has a pretty good understanding of the media industry, this is what I can tell you: both sides of the argument are valid.
