Since graduating from the course I've made about $60K-$70K in NZD. What the Squarespace Design Course has allowed me to do is break the imposter syndrome of "oh but it's a website builder" and realize that I'm actually an expert.
So because I'm an expert I'm able to charge $5 - $8k for a website. And clients are happy to pay that. I just don't think there is a glass ceiling with Squarespace freelancing.
Also because I've invested in the course and improved my skills I'm able to confidently charge that. I can also turn around lower prices projects that are around $2k quicker so it works out to be the same thing!
I’ve taken many “business courses” and by far this one was my favorite. The community that comes along with it is incredible! The way each section is set up as levels with a test or submission at the end made me actually want to finish the course. The course content was invaluable! I loved seeing Puno’s thought process as a designer. It definitely up leveled my understanding of how code works in square space.
The section on freelancing was one of my favorites it changed my perspective on charging websites as a package. Even with other design services I offer I still break it down into hourly for my own understanding and also tracking my time! Since taking this course I can see a clear distinction between the quality of websites created for clients before and after and it’s given me the confidence to set a higher minimum client spend.
