This is NOT about changing your workflow, or doubting your coding skills.
It’s about supercharging them, without taking another course.
Because, taking on more ambitious projects has come with drawbacks:
-
Clients are overlapping... again
After last time, you told yourself you would extend the buffer between highly custom projects to avoid going crazy managing all the tweaks and weird issues at the same time. But, you already sense this project will take longer than you thought, even if nothing goes wrong.
-
Issues are popping up more than Clippy ever did
Precisely because you’re handling customizations you haven’t quite tackled that way before, code seems to be acting up way more than ever, creating problems that weren’t a thing 24h ago. And your available rabbit-hole time is getting slimmer and slimmer.
-
Client changes are making you rethink your business
I mean, you just spent a more-than-you’d-like-to-admit number of hours figuring out the initial customization request and feeling super good about the result. But now your client asked for a change that apparently isn’t possible…? It was supposed to be done already.
And tweaking your design process to be more efficient helps a bit…
…but the bottleneck isn’t your workflow, it’s uncertainty.
-
Not knowing why it doesn't work
Yeah ok, code can be finicky and tricky to work with. But trying out 20 different things to try to make it do what you want to (or anything at all!) without any luck, is just down-right infuriating.
-
Not knowing where the issue comes from
It’s one thing to not be able to get code to cooperate, and a totally different one to have it wrecking havoc on other perfectly styled areas of the site without rhyme or reason. Or worse, creating that damn horizontal scrollbar…
-
Not knowing where to start
What usually happens when your more creative self doesn’t quite ask your coding self if they can handle what you’re about to throw at them, and all of the sudden during the building phase of the project you’re left alone wondering how the F to translate your mockup into Squarespace.
-
Not knowing why the code stopped working
You did it! You nailed the customization, you nailed the fix, and everything’s working perfectly right up to launch day! But then, all of the sudden, it just stops. What in the world happened if no one touched the code!!?
Answers aren’t easy to search for, when you can’t even find the words to ask the question.
And time is too limited to waste, to spend it testing out not-quite solutions.
It would be so much easier if you could…
-
Know EXACTLY what code to use in those moments where a client customization or fix has kept you stuck for the past couple of days.
-
Take back control of your calendar, because you know that you won’t have to spend hours figuring out customizations or fixes, if you don’t have the time (or patience) to do so.
-
Confidently deliver ambitious customizations, knowing that if a client changes their mind or spots a problem, you’ll be able to tackle modifications without missing a beat.
-
Provide the most user-friendly approach to every customization, so that your clients can make updates on their end without depending on you, or you fearing something will break when they do make those changes.
-
Check the project off your to-do list with the confidence that, if a wild Squarespace update appears, you’ll be able to implement any necessary fixes in no time.
-
Allow yourself to be as creative as you likewith your custom projects, because you know that whatever hurdle the new design throws at you, you’ll have the tools to overcome it.
Sounds good? In that case,
Let me introduce you to…
Monthly code strategy support
The Club
A unique support service for Squarespace designers who want to put an end to their search for code for good.
Know how to implement tricky ideas, without outsourcing them
Figure out if your client requests are possible, before building them
Fix unexpected issues when code breaks, before YOU break down too
What’s included
Personalized Support
Anytime you feel stuck with a customization and are tired of endlessly searching for the exact answer you’re looking for, you’ll be able to ask for help inside The Hangout and get step-by-step solutions to tackle them once and for all.
Helpful Resources
To supercharge your custom projects, you’ll get access to The Snippet Directory, as well as on-demand self-paced short courses to help you deal with customizations faster and grow your existing coding skills.
Ongoing Troubleshooting
Something went wrong with the customization solution we discussed? Squarespace made an update right after you added the code? Shocking… but no worries! I’ll help you troubleshoot it, to show you what went wrong and how to fix it.
Member Buildout Rate
If what you need help with falls outside of the scope of what can be covered through the Club (e.g. you need hands-on implementation), you’ll be able to book a Buildout project at a reduced rate, to make sure your most ambitious request aren’t left behind.
How it works
“I feel like I have a bonus resource in my back pocket”
“Before joining the Club and utilizing the [resources], I hemmed and hawed about signing up for several different coding resources and memberships. I was never sure if they would be the right fit - I had dipped my toes in that well in the past, and the resources had never been in-depth enough (ie too basic); OR been way over my head. As a solopreneur, I didn’t want to commit my money to something else that wouldn’t suit my needs. The Club, the [resources] and Beatriz have so completely exceeded my expectations and met my every need as a SQSP custom designer. I feel like I have a bonus resource in my back pocket that I can turn to whenever I can’t make my code do what I want it to. The best part is, not only do I have that resource that helps me fix the problem, but that resource also teaches me why it happened in the first place, so my CSS skills keep improving and I get better and faster. It is worth every penny. I wholeheartedly recommend the Club and the [resources] to any SQSP designer who wants to provide custom design to clients and be able to charge a premium for that service, but still needs a team of coding-ninjas on call to jump into action when that customization doesn’t go exactly as planned.”
– Carolyn L.
“What kind of questions can I ask?”
A lot can be covered inside The Club, but not everything. So here are some examples of what we can tackle through it:
-
If you have a client request or personal idea that you can’t quite figure out how to translate to Squarespace, I can help you break it down strategically to figure out the best possible solution, best on your requirements.
Please note: there are case-by-case limitations as to what can be broken down in an explanation, and what needs to be tackled through a Buildout project.
-
You know that thing that was working perfectly after launch but for some reason completely broke this week? I can help you figure out what happened and how to fix it.
-
If you’re already working with a plugin and would like to carry on the style on a different block, or want to combine 2 that don’t seem to play well together as they are, I can help you modify the code to make that happen.
Please note: there are case-by-case limitations as to what can be covered, what would need to be tackled through a Buildout project (ie. too complex to explain), and what needs to be tackled by the original plugin creator.
-
If you’re looking for the best tool to do XYZ on your client’s site and want suggestions, you can ask about that too! Me and the other members will be happy to point you in the right direction, if we know of any potential solutions.

This is for you if you…
-
Are a Squarespace expert
You consistently have at least one custom website design project (whether semi or fully-custom) per month, and clients sing praises about your work.
-
Like to stay in control
Don’t want to outsource customizations unless absolutely necessary, because since you’re the main (or only) designer behind your projects, you’re wary of letting just anyone touch your work.
-
Feel good about your skills
You find it exhilarating to figure out code on your own, and you’ve been working in the field long enough that you can do some serious damage, but you kinda want to learn more as you go.
“She saves me so much time and agony.”
“Having my Club membership has been game-changing in my business. Since a large part of my day-to-day work involves creating very custom layouts in Squarespace, I am always writing custom code. There are times when I get stuck and am unable to figure out the solution on my own and for this, I turn to Beatriz. Beatriz is such a gifted teacher and her skill set always amazes me. Without exception, she always has a solution for me and not only does she provide the code to fix the issue, but it is accompanied by a video walkthrough explaining the process step by step so I learn something valuable each time. I realized that I could spend hours googling or struggling on my own or just ask Beatriz! She saves me so much time and agony. Highly recommend her membership!!”
– Jodi N.
“Complete freedom with the designs I can create in Squarespace.”
“Being part of the Club has been such a great investment for my business. I love working with Squarespace for my client websites and I love making my sites look as custom as unique as possible. Working through the content provided by Beatriz I have a much more complete understanding of how coding and customization within Squarespace actually works, which is a great timesaver and makes me feel so smart when I can figure out customization on my own! There are times when I need a little extra help though and that is where the Club has been invaluable. Knowing I can jump into the group to ask for help and that Beatriz will come back super quickly with a clear video explanation of the fix alongside the code, gives me complete freedom with the designs I can create in Squarespace. If you are a SS designer who loves making your sites look extra unique with coding, I would recommend the Club in a heartbeat!”
– Kirsty M.
“I love being able to ask for help when you have tried everything else and you have nowhere to turn.”
“I love learning new things, but I love being able to ask for help when you have tried everything else and you have nowhere to turn. Its nice to know you have the support and help from others :). [The Club is] a complete resource for squarespace/website help. It’s a place to learn new things and get help when stuck.”
– Amanda S.
“Having access to YOU to help with things is incredibly valuable.”
“The private [community] has been AMAZING. It’s so cool to see what other designers are working on, and to pull inspiration from them, but then also having access to YOU to help with things is incredibly valuable. [The Club is] a phenomenal resource for Squarespace designers who want to create unique and custom sites using plugins and code.”
– Ciera K.
“I’m able to get through all the coding ‘sticking points’ that arise on a regular basis.”
“As a Squarespace designer and entrepreneur, It’s critical to find the right support. CSS coding has always been a struggle for me but I knew if I was to build truly unique, customized websites this was a must. With Beatriz’s plugins and support, I’m able to get through all the coding ‘sticking points’ that arise on a regular basis. Her support has been an integral part of my business success. I’m confident in saying that I would not be where I am today without it. She removes the stress from coding and provides out-of-the-box solutions for any issues that arise. I’m beyond grateful to have found her 2 years ago and will not be leaving her any time soon!”
– Carrie T.
“Crowd source the answer or get it straight from you!”
“I love being able to post a question (without feeling like I’m bothering you) and then crowd source the answer or get it straight from you! [The Club is] a group of like-minded people who will help when needed but also inspire you to do cool things with Squarespace, too!”
– Andrea S.
“The community has been so helpful along with the snips.”
“[Being able to get] help from the community has been so helpful along with the snips. I’m very thankful for this community and code!”
– Andrea M.
Got Q’s?
-
The Club isn’t a course or a passive membership.
It’s an active service where you get answers to all your questions, by posting them in our private community, The Hangout.
There are courses included with your subscription, but they’re 100% optional to take.
-
Our community, The Hangout, is the place to ask questions and get answers for your projects.
There are no prompts or events or anything else to keep up with.
You log in, ask questions, get pinged when I reply back and that’s it. Just like email, but within a communal platform.
-
It’s a collection of curated code snippets to help you speed up certain customizations, get ideas when you’re drawing a blank, and apply fixes to common issues.
You get instant access to it when you sign up, and can continue using it for as long as you’re a member.
-
100%.
I answer every single question that gets posted.
-
That’s a fair question and I’d love to offer you a 100% answer guarantee, but I can’t.
However, in the +6 years I’ve been running the Club, I’ve been able to answer roughly 90% of the questions posted.
As for the other 10%, I point members in the right direction towards a third-party service that can handle what they’re trying to do, or a developer that can help them build what they’re after.
-
Absolutely!
The Club is NOT about changing what’s already working for you, it’s about supporting you when the usual resources don’t cut it.
Plus, if you’re wanting more independence from those tools, the Club will help you learn how to tackle things yourself as you go along!
-
I’d be happy to!
To do that, we can work together through The Buildout.
Support provided through The Club is strictly hands-off the site’s backend.
-
Nope!
You can cancel your membership at any point, no matter how introverted you are.
It’s done in just a few clicks inside your Account Dashboard!

I’m all ears! Reach out and ask away.
