(STACK) After years of building my web design & education business, I've curated this collection of tools. These are the apps, services, and resources I rely on daily to run Squarestylist.
Superhuman
Business emails with enhanced productivity features
Superhuman transformed how I handle email. It replaces the need to hire a VA for managing my emails. The keyboard shortcuts alone save me hours each week.
Vimeo
Hosting course videos
I chose Vimeo over YouTube for my course content because of the privacy controls and professional presentation. I love that I can customize the player to match my brand, and the video quality is consistently excellent with searchable transcripts and up to 4K videos.
Thrivecart
Processing course sales
I switched to Thrivecart for my course sales because of its powerful affiliate management features. The checkout experience is smooth, and while the backend is a bit clunky, it’s quite robust!
Dropbox Sign
Managing client contracts
After trying several e-signature tools, I settled on Dropbox Sign because it integrates seamlessly with my existing Dropbox workflow. I really love the Template link option.
Selector Helper
Quickly identifying CSS selectors for Squarespace
I built this custom browser extension to help find the right CSS selectors for Squarespace elements.
Cleanshot
Creating tutorial content
This is hands down the best screenshot tool I've ever used. I rely on it daily when responding to student or client questions. The annotation features are incredible, and the full-page screenshot capability is essential for capturing entire website designs.
Squarespace
Primary platform for building and hosting client websites
I've built my entire business around Squarespace because it gives me the perfect balance of user-friendly design tools and deep customization through CSS and JavaScript.
