Last Thursday I was waiting to see my 8-year old’s school play and was chatting to a friend in the line.

She is a great artist who is currently showing her work at an exhibition in London, but she revealed that she didn’t have a website or own her own .com domain.

A couple of hours after the play ended I bought her domain name for her. I also offered - if she wanted - to build her a website for free.

We met the next day to discuss and a week later her website is now live (built to her specifications)!

It was genuinely fun to help build a website like this as it is so different to most of my usual day-to-day website work.

Effectively, once I had the assets from her the first draft of the site (built with #Squarespace) took only two hours.

I then fiddled and tweaked for many more hours after that. Frustratingly, Squarespace won’t let you add custom code or CSS on the entry level plan but you can when you are building the unpublished site for free.

This meant that one of my changes became undone when the site went live and I had to find a workaround as I didn’t think it was worth a £60 pa upgrade for this.
