Let’s be honest: running a Squarespace design business can be equal parts exciting and exhausting.

Right now, you might be:

  • Spending more energy chasing clients for content and payments than actually designing.

  • Struggling to keep up with design trends or tech updates.

  • Letting marketing slide because there are only so many hours in the day.

  • Craving more time, freedom, and profit—but feeling trapped by your current business model.


The Square Design Summit is here to help you reset.
 

YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH...

Smarter systems to streamline projects and stop wasting time chasing clients for content, payments, or approvals.

1

Sustainable marketing strategies that help you attract clients consistently without burning out or being online 24/7.

2

Up-to-date design skills with practical techniques, CSS tricks, and creative inspiration you can put into action right away.

3

New growth opportunities through fresh business models, pricing strategies, and scalable offers that create more freedom and profit.

4

A table with printed photographs, a smartphone, two coffee cups, and some papers in a bright room.

This isn’t another generic online summit where you leave with 47 pages of notes and zero idea what to do next. Every session is designed to give you clarity, inspiration, and practical steps you can actually implement right now.

 MEET YOUR HOST

Hey there, I’m Kate Scott.

I’m an online business educator and mentor for Squarespace designers. I grew my design business with digital products and courses, and along the way I figured out the not-so-secret recipe: scalable offers plus simple systems equals more freedom, more creativity, and way less burnout.

Now, through my courses, workshops, and the Square Design Summit, I help other designers do the same. Think of me as your business big sister—here to help you sharpen your skills, explore new ways of growing, and finally build a business that feels as good behind the scenes as it looks on the outside. If that’s what you’re after, you’re in the right place.
