July 10 2026 Overwhelmed by Squarespace's Free Templates? This email is for you! Hello! Long time no chat. If you’re new here, hi. I'm Janessa from JPK Design Co. This particular email is focused on free Squarespace templates and a free new thing I built, and a cool deal expiring soon that maybe I wrote way too much about. But I also write about business, DIY entrepreneurship, marketing, and other related biz shenanigans. I used to send emails out every week, and now it’s every once every few...

hi Reader, Here's something I tell all my clients: Your lovely new website is not a 'Build It And They Will Come' situation. Look, I LOVE talking about conversion-focused websites (obviously), but I wanna get real about what websites CAN do and CAN'T do for a hot minute. Websites do not equal lead generation. That's marketing. Think of your website as a storefront bakery on a charming street that has the best ooey-gooey luscious cinnamon rolls in town. You could have the perfect storefront:...

hey hey Reader, I've been working on a fun lil' side project called The Creative Supply Co. (It's more marketing-focused, not necessarily web design related, so there's a whole separate website/biz thingy for it). There are a few social media/business templates now available to buy if you're interested. You can check them out here, and for the next week, use code 20OFF to get 20% off anything in the shop (even the Master Collection). Creative Supply Co Download yours, instantly Easy from the...

hey hey Reader, I had an email all written and ready to go out today, but I just scrapped it. It was about how a website should be like a good airport, inspired by my recent flight back from Mexico City to Portland (and having a flight delay where I spent 5 hours in Minneapolis and didn't get back into Portland until 1:30 AM. But ANYWAY....). But really, while it was a FUN email, it wasn't very helpful. You know what would be MORE helpful, I think? Offering low-cost monthly payment plans on...

hey Reader! Quick Monday update because the link in bio template sale ends tonight at midnight... (BTW this will take the place of my usual Tuesday email to help save your inbox) So I spent way too much time this weekend turning the Squarespace 'Link In Bio' page template into a fake artisanal ice cream brand called "Moonbeam Ice Cream" (inspired by that Benson Boone lyric that I CANNOT GET OUT OF MY HEAD - anyone else??). See the customized demo page here → The Fake Brand I Created: Concept:...

hiya Reader, How was your weekend? I had a great weekend! Got in a couple runs, went to a cozy new breakfast place with my fella (with a robust vegan menu!), got in a hike in the gorgeous Columbia Gorge (Beacon Rock, for all you fellow PNWers), and then went to a sort of mini-reunion in a park with a group of old coworkers (from my restaurant manager days, if you remember that email from a few weeks ago). view of the Columbia River from Beacon Rock Anyway, today let's talk about your Google...
