Updating your website during the COVID-19 pandemic

Let’s cut right to the chase: we’re several weeks into the COVID-19 global pandemic and sh*t’s getting real.

These are absolutely wild and crazy times and I often catch myself thinking, what in the actual heck is going on right now?!?!?!?!?

We’ve never experienced anything like this - the whole Corona virus situation and it’s impact on the world is truly unprecedented.

Personally, I feel like I’m stuck on an emotional rollercoaster and I don’t know when it’ll end. Some days are great, I feel high vibe and excited about work…. whereas other days are a struggle because I get so caught up in the hardships and challenges we’re facing collectively.

That being said, now more than ever I want to SHOW UP and YOU in any way that I can! Whether that’s my audience of casual blog readers, my amazing newsletter community or my beloved clients & customers, I am here to help you as best as I can.

My area of expertise is obviously Squarespace web design/development and Squarespace SEO, so that’s what I’m going to go over here today.

My inbox has BLOWN UP over the past few weeks with panicked questions from people who need help with their websites now. Many businesses are moving online (no easy task), and everyone is looking for help updating website content, collecting orders, setting up email newsletters to communicate with clients & customers, ramping up SEO... it’s a lot!

In this blog post, I’m going to share actionable updates you can make TODAY to your website to make sure that you’re totally covered during the COVID-19 pandemic. I will use lots of Squarespace-specific tips/recommendations but even if your website runs on another platform, I know you will still find these instructions helpful!

Why we chose Squarespace for our website - Guest Episode on the Online Business Besties Podcast
Why we chose Squarespace for our website - Guest Episode on the Online Business Besties Podcast

Hi hunnis, wanted to let you know that I’m baaaaaaack for another guest episode on the Online Business Besties podcast, hosted by my own biz bestie Paige Brunton!

You might remember that I was actually Paige’s first guest on her Online Business Besties podcast (Episode 002). That episode is called “Working online & traveling Q+A for aspiring digital nomads” and you can listen to it here.

You can also watch the Instagram Live Q&A we did over a few weeks ago, obvi fueled by wine. Needless to say, we love to talk and hit record at the same time :)

Annnnnyways, we always have so much fun collaborating together and I was thrilled that Paige asked me back again on the podcast so soon!

We recorded this episode in-person in early August when we were both back in Toronto, Canada and had a blast talking about websites and reviewing Squarespace’s platform… who knew tech talk could be so much fun?!

This conversation is packed full of practical information, as well as insights into our own work as Squarespace web designers/developers, and I know you’ll get a kick out of listening to the two of us shoot the sh*t while still delivering a value-packed conversation.

5 Q&A Friday and how to stop procrasti-building your website

Hello and happy Friday!

WELCOME BACK to Day 5 of the Live Video Training Extravaganza, can you believe that I hosted a free live video training every day this week?

Ahhh it's been so much fun doing these live video trainings on my Youtube channel and sharing them with here on the blog, so I decided to continue these live video trainings into next week too! LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL!

So, be sure to tune back in after the weekend to watch even more of these daily lessons!

Not to toot my own horn but Day 5’s live video was a total blast and and I can’t wait for you to watch the replay.

In this video training, I answered 5 questions that came directly from YOU (my audience) - you emailed in these questions and I’m thrilled that I was able to answer them live today.

The fun thing about Q&As is that it’s basically an opportunity for you to pick my brain and get expert advice on something that actually applies to you…. so don’t be shy, please let me know if you have any questions you’d like answered on next week’s Q&A video! You can leave me a comment on this blog post or on the Youtube video, or just do what everyone else did an email me your question. I don’t care how you ask your question, I’m simply happy to answer and clarify!

Alright, that’s enough intro for one video… let’s get to the goods.
