I design in WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Weebly, Shopify, GoDaddy and the recently launched Editor X (which is what my site is designed in). I've played around with Webflow and Strikingly and am like a kid on Christmas morning when I learn of a new CMS tool. I mean this is what I do all day, every day. YAY ME!

A brief overview about the different capabilities of Squarespace 7.1 versus 7.0.

True story, the first time I used Squarespace was about 9 years ago. A friend hired me to design a site for her new business and by "hire" I mean she was going to buy me dinner in exchange. At this point, I had been designing for fun for myself and friends and I had never worked with SS. Let's just say it did not go well. She "fired" me - though I still got a steak - and she hired a professional. It really hurt my ego but it also lit a fire and I've been obsessed with SS ever since.

I recently worked with a client who had me convinced I was losing my mind as what I saw and what they saw was completely different. It took us awhile to figure out I was designing for desktop first and they were viewing the site on a tablet. Once I learned this it allowed me to shift to design for mobile first.
