Now's the Perfect Time to Start Your Own Design Blog

This blog post is all about blog posts ... as in you should be writing your own! And to make it even easier to blog, we've got a special gift for you.

But first, here's why you should have a blog:

  • It’s the simplest way to create searchable, shareable content that will help you get noticed
  • It’s a great way to showcase your work
  • It’s a marketing tool that allows you to be personable and show people who you are
  • It’s a way to connect with past, present, and future clients online
  • It’s a great way to connect your various social media profiles with your business

A blog will do more for your online presence. In today’s world, designers - and we're talking interior design, feng shui, jewelry, and wedding and event planning and design - are under more pressure to market themselves and stand out from the crowd. But at the same time, there are more opportunities out there that allow you to do just that. Blogging is one of those opportunities.

And now for the gift!

We’ve partnered with Squarespace, the leading blog and website platform, to offer you 10% off a 1-year membership. Our own SheffieldSays blog is run on the Squarespace platform - and you can get just the look you want to fit your personality, business identity, and sense of style. To sign up and take advantage of this offer, visit

www.squarespace.com/sheffield - to start your interior design or feng shui blog
www.squarespace.com/planner - to start your wedding & event planning blog

Starting a blog or website on Squarespace will allow you to quickly post photos and content without knowing anything about web design or development. They make everything as simple as can be. And if you ever get stuck, they have 24/7 assistance that comes free with your membership.

It’s easy to get started and a surefire way to improve your design biz's marketing strategy.

Great post and thanks for sharing Squarespace with us. I have not yet made use of it. But will definitely make use of it in future. Squarespace's functionality sounds great.
Quality content for your blog is as important as its design and structure and also the way you promote it.

I am glad i came across this blog and would like to share this piece of information with my Web Choide UK team

Thanks
