On Gearing Up for Launch
We’re trying to get things set for launch prior to the holidays, and it’s slow going it’s so much fun! It’s not exhausting at all. Having a lack of clear direction is definitely wearing on Brian’s brain because I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be setting up at a given time, and I’m slipping in updates between clients at work when I have some down time. A list of things to come:
Wedding photos (Engagement photos are live)
Park photos (Only some are live, and we have many more parks to scope out!)
A new landing page (With actual content or useful navigation links)
A sense of direction.
A personal working knowledge of how to make Squarespace do the things I want it to do.

Well I think it’s fun… Getting to combine my art and technology backgrounds into a new creative outlet is a welcome challenge for me. I’m mostly fueled by the fact that we have over a thousand wedding photos to share and I want them to start trickling out before Christmas. Really, that was the inspiration for this whole endeavor. I wanted a place for the photos that was easily accessible and shareable, something that we were in charge of, and something that wasn’t held hostage by the whims of social media. I still plan on sharing a link to the site on socials whenever I add new pictures, but I’d much prefer to forward foot traffic our way instead of giving my Facebook profile a ton of views. Using Squarespace is getting more intuitive the more I play with it, so once B and I figure out what to actually post (book club? Movie reviews? Thoughts on current events? Life updates?) and get our media uploaded, it’ll look like a real thing. So pardon our pixie dust while we put up some “go-away-green” walls (any Disney fans know what I mean?) and get some things figured out. We’re learning!
