This course is so accessible and has changed my life. I cannot thank you ENOUGH for creating this space, you have a team of badass folks who have shown more personal interest in me as a student than any of my professors/teachers since maybe like 3rd grade. This is unreal. Crying real taco tears.

Very grateful that ilovecreatives put this course out into the world because it's allowed me to tap into an industry I would have had no clue where to start with to get to the next level. Now it’s time to start creating.

The major difference between the ilovecreatives Squarespace Design Course and other e-courses, beside the whole FUN vibe, is that they have identified the critical pain points of e-learning and offer great solutions for all these blockades. Every time I’m stuck and frustrated with a piece of code that doesn’t work, I know there is an incredibly friendly and supportive community (fellow students + teachers) I can reach out to. When life get in the way, and I’m having trouble making time for my class, I go back to reading their tips to jump back on the wagon. And, last but not least, to all my peers suffering from the shiny object syndrome, well, this course is so engaging (read here: gamification) and progress is so immediate, that the only shiny thing is the learning curve and your own pride. Proof: I haven’t started another e-class since this one ;)
Overall, it’s a very complete platform with incredible resources about the whole freelancing experience. Something I haven’t found in any other learning platform. The ilovecreatives community is a safe, inclusive, and positive space that meets you where you are on your creative journey and empowers you to expand your skills.
Truly, this course was so great. One of the hardest things with making this a full time gig and not just one of my many side hustles was actually prioritizing working on my site, my pricing, my process.
Following-through with the course, all of the freelancing tools, and support of the community has been everything in terms of getting over imposter syndrome and making a business that’s sustainable — not just a constant scramble of taking whomever as clients.

This course definitely challenged me. With this course being more hands on rather than just a deck with a bunch of information, I grasped the information better than a Skillshare class. I loved the use of video and all the additional resources within the course. While there were times where I did get frustrated, those moments really helped me troubleshoot and problem solve.
Overall, I loved the course! It’s fun, engaging, and jam-packed with a ton of information! I never thought I would understand CSS, but Puno made it easy to learn and digest!

The gamification of the course (and Puno, tbh ) simply make it unstoppable and incomparable. It's not theoretical, it makes you jump right to it. It's not in bits and pieces, it's complete. It made me stop to drink water (like what, is this what heaven feels like? water addict here, yes really). Plus, the community is great (I found my business bff here!).
I stand by what I said that this is definitely one of the best (if not THE best) online courses I've taken so far.

Since I don't have a design background — the 1on1 design feedback is really helping me understand what good design is.

I was able to find a position that provided enough financial stability to let me quit my old job (awesome right?!). The opportunities on ilovecreatives are by far the most interesting and passion-provoking of all the creative job boards I've seen. If you're looking for exciting creative work, ilovecreatives Community Ads board is the place to be!

The course was really good! I was pretty nervous starting with 7.0 at the beginning as I'd only worked with 7.1, so it felt weird and really difficult haha. I'm glad I persevered though because I've had more clients wanting updates to the 7.0 sites than I'd even considered, thinking I'd only be doing new sites. The resources are great too! So much good stuff in there.

I totally loved the course. I loved Puno’s energy, it’s completely different to actually be entertained while learning! And on top of that, she knows her shit and generous with knowledge! So good. The Slack community is really important — without it I’d be lost! Also, Erin Fitzsimmons is amazing. Thanks again for the all the work you guys have put in, you’ve created something really special.

Taking the ilovecreatives Squarespace Design Course was the best decision I made in 2021. It helped me build confidence in starting my own business by having the ability to create a space on the internet that feels like my home.
The onboarding, video curriculum, office hours, and amazing Slack community are worth every penny and I am proud to be a member of the ilovecreatives community! 😘

Whenever a Super Productive Time happens, it's one of my favorite parts of the week. I do their Pomodoro video on my own, but its effectiveness goes way up with everyone else in the session! Always a fun time too, and I love using it for anything I need to get done even outside of ilovecreatives course stuff.

Could not recommend more highly! I utilized the ilovecreatives community to find a videographer for a brand video. I worked with Shawn to get a brief description up on their newsletter and received direct emails from creatives within a couple of hours. We ended up working with incredible filmmaker, Brennan King. He was very professional, was able to work within our budget and timeline, and was overall just a great person to work with.
Looking forward to using this community more in the future and highly recommend to anyone looking for super talented creatives!
I was looking for an interior designer to join my multidisciplinary design firm and posted an ad with ilovecreatives. The candidates that found me through ilovecreatives were all really creative with diverse backgrounds which I loved seeing. I ended up hiring someone who saw my posting on ilovecreatives and I couldn't be happier with the fit. Thank you for helping me find such a wonderful person to join my team!

My favorite part was the feedback opportunities because of how in depth they were. Plus, the connections that I have gained and will gain! And, the resources — wow! I really appreciated the documents like the Site & Inventory doc and Client Contract.
