I was talking to a copywriter client last week about his website, which we are in the process of creating, and he happened to say hard it was writing his own words. I hear this a lot and it’s the same for me with my promotional work and this website. When you go public it’s scary isn’t it?

Fluid Engine is Squarespace’s new editor for all 7.1 websites. It’s a content editor which uses regular page sections with a range of blocks. The concept is that it allows more flexibility in website design by allowing the creator to resize, overlap and have more freedom with the structure of a web page.

Copyright and licensing of original design and illustration work is complex. There's no one size that fits all when it comes to pricing. What works for one creative may not work for another.

This Tips and Tricks post discusses my image research services and advice on bespoke photography, licensing and copyright, model release, free image resources, paid image resources, search terms and good practice.
