Josh Kill found Squarespace to be “a beautiful tool that allows me to upload, deliver, promote, and share without worrying about the nitty gritty of web design.” The added efficiency allows him to take on more clients, deliver images ahead of schedule, and increase his profits.

Squarespace is like having my own web development team.”

Josh Kill has always been drawn to adventure. About ten years ago, he started shooting weddings to fund his adventures, and quickly realized that he had a real knack for high-stress photography. And his self-proclaimed “inner Photoshop nerd” has served to boost him over the heads of other photographers who had difficulty transitioning to the new digital workflow.

“My workflow from shoot to digital development to delivery and promotion has to function at the highest efficiency possible to stay a step ahead of the competition”, says Josh. Living in a rural area, he also recognized that a web presence was essential in extending his reach to high-end clients in larger cities.

Squarespace designs are amazing, professional, well-executed, and EASY. I am so happy to have found them!"

I've been shooting professionally for 15 years. For the first ten it was just a job and skill set I picked up at a young age; and just a way to make a living. It's only been within the past two years that photography has become a true passion for me. The internet has exploded the photographic industry into something completely different from what it was even five years ago. Before, you may have found inspiration in a few local photographers. Now the world's best artwork is at your fingertips. Because of this, my work has evolved and improved more in the past year than it had in the prior ten years combined!

When I discovered that every photographer on Earth had a blog, I knew I needed to start one too. I started researching online blogging tools, but their designs and templates left much to be desired. It was only after getting completely frustrated that I finally found Squarespace. It was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Squarespace designs are amazing, professional, well-executed, and EASY. My favorite part is that they're also TOTALLY CUSTOMIZABLE. They have a great support staff, and are just an all-around wonderful service. I am so happy to have found them!

It's super friendly and I love the template! No HTML skills are needed and the dashboard rocks."

For Carrie, starting a professional photography business was a labor of love. She explains, “I was working in the film industry, and just decided it was time to start doing what I really loved. I started my business in January 2002 and am grateful every day for making that decision.” Since then, she has built up an impressive portfolio, focusing on child portraits.

In order to promote her work, Carrie saw the need to bring her business, Urban Baby, online. She initially chose TypePad for its blogging capabilities and photo gallery options. Carrie then switched platforms, looking for more features to customize her site. She started using Squarespace, which provided the individualization she was looking for without requiring a lot of effort. Carrie says that she still hasn't run out of new things to try, noting, “I probably don’t use nearly as many features as I could.”

Her website is now integrated seamlessly with a new blog, which has an understated look that lets her pictures stand out. Her blog is frequented by other photographers as well as current and potential clients, acting as both a lead generator and community builder for Urban Baby.

"Squarespace came highly recommended by several web designer friends of mine", says Aradia, "I was able to build my site all on my own from the ground up! I used Squarespace super-stylish gallery to exhibit my work JUST the way I wanted people to see it". Within two weeks of launching the site she began receiving enquiries - including an offer to feature her work in a book to inspire fashion students.

Squarespace allows me to have a professional site that's easy to update - it's perfect for busy people in creative industries!"

"For years, everyone was asking me what outfits to wear - what shoes and accessories they should put with a certain look" says Aradia about her inspiration to become a fashion stylist. "I began by assisting established stylists, building up contacts and experience". Nowadays she finds the work increasingly to be a means of creative expression, loving the variety that the job brings to each day.

The creation of a website was the natural next step after more clients began asking to see Aradia's work. She began to look for a solution that would offer a simple, easy-to-manage online equivalent of the portfolio which stylists traditionally use to present work. With limited web knowledge, she wanted to create a site that was stylish and simple to update.
