Got another? Tell me about it. Some of these are affiliate links that save you money and/or earn me money. I only recommend stuff that I use + love.

Essential Tools for Squarespace Designers

Featured

Raycast

A launcher to rule them all. Clipboard history alone has saved me hours upon hours.

Colorslurp

The best color picker tool out there.

Markup

Collect feedback easily on web designs, images, videos, and other files. Generous free plan.

ImageOptim

Saves disk space & bandwidth by compressing images and removing metadata.

Clarityflow

Like Loom, but with replies. Save yourself meetings by sending videos instead. I use it daily.

Responsively

Test your websites in multiple viewports at once, and easily grab screenshots while you’re at it.

Novo

Online business banking made easy. It just works, and integrates with lots of things.

Descript

It’s like Canva meets iMovie meets ChatGPT. Edit videos as docs, remove filler words and gaps, etc.

GoCardless

For avoiding credit card fees by taking direct debit/ACH payments. Great for subscriptions too.

Cal.com

I’ve used many and they’re pretty similar. Cal stands out with how much you can do on their free tier.

Squarespace

This should come as no surprise, but I think Squarespace is the best-fit platform for many businesses.

SEOSpace

For all things Squarespace SEO. Fantastic plugin & resources.

Kick

Accounting software that does most of the work for you. Way easier than Quickbooks etc.

All the shortlinks on this site? They were made with Dub. Completely free.

For stickers, magnets, and other high-quality physical printables. Even temp tattoos!

If you just need a one-page site.

Siteground

If you want to use Wordpress, they’re my top hosting rec.
