Website and Blog Update

Earlier this year I switched to a new website provider.  After 8 years of squarespace, I felt as if I needed a platform that offered a bit more automation and room to grow.  Having very outdated website creation experience, there is only so much I can do without having to take a deep dive into coding.

So far, I am really pleased with the way that the new website is turning out. I have been able to add retail, a downloadable calendar and new class offerings. The site loads much faster and (I think!) is easier to navigate. It feels a bit more grown-up too, though still very much a work in progress.

As great as the new site is, the platform does not support a traditional blog.  For a creative business, I feel that a blog is still important.  A place to hold all of the tutorials, patterns and content that I have amassed over the years.  To that end, I am keeping the blog on the original squarespace site (www.littlestitchstudionorfolk.com and just creating a link from the new site to the old.  It may take a bit of trial and error to streamline the content, but I think there is a way to make it work.  

The ultimate test in how well a website operates, is of course the user experience. What are some features that your favorite websites offer? Are there some content ideas that you would like me to add? I am working on new patterns, some pre-recorded classes as well as some helpful videos and downloadable guides.

Have you switched website providers?  If so, I'd love to hear about your experience.

XOXO, Hilarie
