THE PERKS

time-saving, magic-making, VIP support

A dedicated number of hours per month, to tackle any Squarespace-related customization ideas and fixes, including third-party embeddable widgets (when possible).

Guaranteed priority timeline, to make sure any customization implementation or fix is taken care of in a timely matter.

Ongoing strategy support, via comments or email, to hash out half-baked or raw ideas that require brainstorming on best setup/block usage/client experience before coding.

Additional hours and services at a reduced rate, in case bigger projects or tasks pop up during the month (subject to availability).

“Ooh, IInteresting!”

    The Chat

    If there’s an available spot in my calendar to become your coding sidekick, I’ll ask a few questions to better understand your needs and make sure I’ll be able to help with your requests.

    The Handshake

    Once we’re on the same page and excited to create great work together, I’ll send over the agreement and invoice to get started on the date agreed upon. You’ll be able to use your hours as soon as that day arrives!

    The Rest

    Each month, you’ll be able to reach out with your requests so I can handle them for you, and at the end of months 1 and 2, you’ll receive an invoice for the upcoming hours + any extra ones you may have used the previous month.

    The Review

    Near the end of our 3-month period, we’ll have a chat to check if any adjustment to the monthly hours is needed before restarting the commitment.

“What can be done with the hours?”

It depends on the type of project(s) you’re working with that month, but here are a few examples of the ways I can support you…

  • I can help you expand your personal code library with blocks/sections/elements you can reuse over and over in client projects.

  • Besides the included 1h strategy call, we can hop on additional ones to figure out the best way to setup/build a customization, based on your client’s requirements and most user-friendly approach.

  • I can adapt or combine plugins for you, making sure that the code plays well with other existing customizations.

  • I can bring your ambitious mockup ideas to life into live or trial Squarespace sites.

  • I can create custom page templates that can be reused by you or the client without modifying the code.

  • I can go into those client sites where all of the sudden issues popped out of nowhere due to yet another Squarespace update or user error, precisely at a time when your schedule is about to explode.

Got q’s?

  • We’ll have a special Wishlist setup inside Google Docs so we can keep track of all of your requests, mark the ones that have been tackled, and include comments/questions when needed to clarify or discuss options.

  • Up to 3 unused hours from the previous month will rollover, subject to availability, and expire after one month.

    Any additional unused hours will be forfeited.

  • If another period is booked within 10 days after the previous one ended, up to 3 unused hours can rollover, subject to availability.

    If no new 3-month periods are booked within the 10 days post-service – or is booked after that timeframe – all unused hours will be forfeited.

  • Yes.

    3 months is the perfect amount of time to help you tackle those pending projects that are meant to launch soon, tweak the already published ones that are creating issues, and work through your ideas for “internal” plugins or templates.

    That’s why this service package is built that way.

    If you only need support for a specific customization or project, check out The Buildout!
