We're not envious of this office at all...😂 just a casual view overlooking Newport Harbor. So gorgeous! - 📷 by @ryangarvin

An incredible book for anyone interested in or working in design. Dieter Rams covers his ten principles of good design: Good design is innovative, useful, and aesthetic. Good design makes a product easily understood. Good design is unobtrusive, honest, durable, thorough, and concerned with the environment. Most of all, good design is as little design as possible. - 📷 by @minimaliststyle
We're absolutely loving all of the recognition and growth that Squarespace is seeing. Idris Elba joins a long list of celebrities who trust the platform for their business needs. Checkout 2hrset.com where Idris promotes his DJing and clothing line. - If Squarespace is good enough for People Magazine's 2018 Sexiest Man Alive is it good enough for you? 🔥
Is your #hashtag game on point? When used correctly, hashtags can help attract more followers and drive engagement. However, it's crucial to be strategic and selective with your options. - Common hashtags like #happy , #love , #california and others have millions of tags. Posts using these types are easily lost in the sea of photos. Your odds of ever getting to the popular page are slim to none without a huge following. - Niche hashtags on the other hand are much more effective and will bring a truly engaged audience to your page. You'll also avoid the spam comments and bots that follow / unfollow. - One of the best ways to find these niche hashtags is to look at what your competitors and industry leaders are using. Additionally, you can begin typing in a tag and see how many related posts it has. Seek out the tags which fall under the 50k - 200k range. You'll keep your post at the top of the "latest" category longer and also have more potential to land in the popular section. - You can use up to 30 hashtags per post, so start experimenting with various tags and see which ones resonate with your audience the most!
Our favorite part of winter is watching it on tv from California. In all seriousness though- to all those affected, be safe out there and try to stay warm. ❄️
Concept 01 of Survival Overview, a new venture we're launching in 2019. Combining my military and survival experience from the streets of Baghdad, Iraq to the Mountains of Afghanistan.

How gorgeous is this @goop office space?! We're feeling all of it. . . 📷 by @chadmellon
Every so often it’s crucial to evaluate your site and brand to ensure you’re taking advantage of latest trends, verify CTA effectiveness, and check your visitor engagement. Technology and features change so quickly that your site should also be evolving. Shout out to all of my fellow designers who are constantly working on client sites that they forget about their own- it’s an easy trap to fall into! . Last year we did a test with our site at Ekspohz and moved to a very simple portfolio mainly showcasing past works. In some regards it was effective, but lacked in other areas (hello SEO) and it was time for a change. Our latest design captures our modern and minimalist style with plenty of whitespace, but is better at guiding potential clients to work with us. Check it out at Ekspohz.com!
New Year. New Website? Now is the perfect time to evaluate your site to determine if it's portraying a professional, modern, and beautiful image fit for 2019. One of our favorite things about Squarespace is its ability to accommodate so many various industries and businesses. Solo entrepreneurs, non-profits, multi-million dollar corporations and Keanu Reeves (yes even Keanu) trust Squarespace to get the job done. . . If you're in need of some inspiration checkout our latest blog post where we show our top design picks of 2019 along with their associated base template.
Oh hey there! It's been a few weeks since we last posted. It's so easy to get caught up in the daily grind of social media and the pressure to post consistently. Do you ever get burnt out? . . We decided to take a step back for a few weeks to recharge and something amazing happened. The business still ran great, our Instagram engagement + followers increased, and old content continued to be discovered. A cohesive brand aesthetic and quality posts are far more important than quantity. We're ready for 2019! Happy holidays all.
Oh how life changes when you focus on your passions and what makes you happy 😊
