== Squarespace ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' So I have something else that I said that I would follow up on. But before I do that, I just want to talk about Squarespace quickly. Okay, sure. And then we'll get on to that. And for anybody that listened last week, the Parker 5th refill came. So that's what we're going to give my impressions on that. So we'll see. Yeah, I definitely want to hear about this. We'll see if you were right or if I was right in being hopeful. So we will see about that very shortly. But before we do, before we talk about that, let's thank our sponsors for this week. And, of course, they are the fine folks over at Squarespace.com. Squarespace gives you everything you need to make an amazing website. So I've been using Squarespace for many, many years now. And we've been talking about them for many, many months. So by now, you know how fantastic they are at giving you exactly what you need to create your home online. They give you all of the tools. It's like Squarespace is like the workman's tool belt for people that want to create websites. Because you've got everything you need all in one place. That's what's so fantastic about it. You have hosting. It's built in. So you don't need to worry about web hosting elsewhere. You don't need to worry about buying themes or getting a designer. Because they have beautiful, responsive web design templates built right in. You don't have to worry about learning code to create the site that you want. Because they have a drag and drop interface called Layout Engine. Where you drag and drop blocks of content like photos, videos, text and loads more. Like image galleries and things like that. You can just drag and drop all of those in. Drag and drop and move them around. You don't need to buy fonts. Because they have the Google Font Library built right in. So you can choose those. You can then also, with their Layout Engine page builder, you have the ability to choose custom colors and things like that for your site as well. So you're able to make it look exactly how you want. What else do they have? They have domains integrated if you buy one of their annual plans. They have social media integration built right in. So not only can you display your tweets, you can display Instagram photos, Flickr photos right on your page. You can also have it automatically tweet or post to Facebook or whatever for you whenever you write a new post on your site. It really is just a fantastic system. And if you need to create a new website, they are the place for you. They have stats built in. They have a great blog importer, iOS, Android apps, loads more, 24-7 customer support. I could just keep going on. But the best thing for you to do, rather than listen to me talk about it, is to go right now to squarespace.com forward slash 70 decibels. And you can start a free trial there. No credit card needed. You just give them your name. You give them a username, password, email address. That's it. And you've got an unlimited free trial there. So when I say unlimited, you get access to all of the site's features. It's two weeks from when you say enable this theme or whatever. So you can play around, build a site however you want, enable the theme, and you get two weeks where you can try it out. Squarespace starts at $10 a month after the free trial for their standard plan and $20 a month for their unlimited plan. But if you sign up for a year up front, not only do you get a free custom domain name like I mentioned earlier, you get 20% off that price. And if you sign up for two years, you'll get 25% off. But I can give you an additional 10% off, either that or whatever your first purchase at Squarespace will be, if you enter the coupon code or the offer code 70decibels12 at the checkout screen. So you'll see there's a little link that says enter a code below the pricing information. You just enter that in, 70decibels12. So go check out Squarespace, everything you need to make an amazing website. Thanks to Squarespace for supporting us. And if you want to support the show and Squarespace, of course, go check out what they do at 70decibels. Sorry, at squarespace.com for 70decibels. That's the place to go. So it arrived a few days ago. Parker 5th Ingenuity.

'''Myke Hurley:''' What are you going to say?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Just the refill, yes.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yes, just the refill.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Right. Yeah, I just want to be clear.

'''Myke Hurley:''' You will find out if I have bought one.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I will let you know. Oh, okay. See, what you guys don't know that, listen, is Myke and I, we don't really talk about pins during the week. So there are some surprises during the show sometimes that, you know, we don't necessarily know what the other one's got in their hand or talking about or things like that. Yeah, we talk a lot.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Like, we do talk, but we don't. We try not to spoil the show. Like, we might talk about some things, but I definitely, I mean, I believe I told you that this had arrived. Yes. But I will purposefully not tell you about my impressions. Okay. Exactly.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Exactly right.
