Inside our Music Room

 

Uke Telecaster by Tim Power


For years our homestyle music potluck, song and picking gatherings were a staple in Portland.

Music on a variety of instruments at home within our extended family of instruments has been stirred up over the years. Guitars, accordion, piano, ukes, banjo, bones, harmonium, voices, drums, bowed psaltery, guitarron, to compose, learn, play, teach, stretch, practice, relax, laugh and explore whatever pulls new notes, colors, steps, forms and shapes out of us in an open call to action by our senses tuned in to respond. Music, art, beads, mobiles, dinner. Creativity emerges from the inside out with what’s at hand - to a feeling, a beat, a sensation, a color, a blend, a freedom to harmonize with the world. Listen. Nourish. Learn. Do what comes. Be kind. See what happens. Give thanks. Repeat.

CONSIDER THE PAGES YOU'LL NEED TO HAVE ON YOUR WEBSITE


So, you're thinking about creating a website? Well, there's a lot to consider when it comes to the pages you'll need to include.

  • You'll need that all-important homepage - the first thing visitors will see when they land on your site.

  • Let's not forget about the 'about' page, where you can tell your visitors a bit more about who you are and what you're all about.

  • You'll probably want a services or products page too, showcasing what you have to offer.

  • And if you're hoping to build some trust with potential customers, a testimonials or reviews page could be just the ticket.

With so many pages to consider, it might seem daunting - but fear not! When you choose the right Squarespace Website template, you'll get pre-populated pages specifically selected for your needs (just like the ones we have for entrepreneurs in our shop!).

CONSIDER YOUR IDEAL CLIENT WHEN CHOOSING A SONG


When designing a website, it's important to keep your audience in mind. After all, your website should encourage them to want more from you! Think about their preferences, needs and desires when choosing a template.

  • Maybe your audience is looking for clean, minimalist design and easy navigation.

  • Perhaps they prefer bold colours, video animations and striking visuals.

By choosing a template that resonates with your audience, you'll create a website that's not only visually appealing but also highly functional. Your website (and your audience) will thank you for it!

Create a list of must-have features for your website

When it comes to setting up your Squarespace website, you want to make sure you've got all the right features in place to make it a success:

  • First on the list is a responsive design that looks great on any device.

  • You also need a user-friendly interface that's easy to navigate and customize to suit your brand.

  • Tutorials, training and additional support are going to be essential if you are new to websites!

  • Finally, don't forget about search engine optimization (SEO) to ensure your website ranks high in search results.

All of these are important considerations we applied when creating all the templates within our Squarespace website template shop!
