I second Squarespace.
I've tried a bunch of the other ones, Squarespace seems like a good balance between creative freedom and usability. However, I know someone who loves Framer.

Thanks for all the advice, folks!

Does Squarespace have a free option? Recently laid off

I will say, I was on squarepace for a while now and recently transitioned to readymag and I’m loving it. If you want something simple, squarespace. If you want something nicer that’s actually pretty easy to use, readymag.

readymag is the goat

Dont be lazy like most people are. Set up a Wordpress platform on go daddy and design the thing yourself with a fun theme (you can get millions of really good free ones). then you can make it the way you want to instead of using a canned one from WIX. might learn some HTML/CSS while you are at it too (I sure did).

They asked for user friendly

3L with mostly A’s and B’s. I am having the worst luck trying to find work for after school and my experience working with lawyers has left me completely dejected. I cannot get an interview to save my life. I was so excited to get an externship summer after 2L with a small business and IP firm only to get yelled at on the phone a few times for not doing an assignment correctly. Mind you, I was working FOR FREE as it was a school connected externship. That made me never want to work in the law.

C&F question: any attorneys here with a DUI conviction on your record? If so, did you have any issues clearing Character & Fitness in a new jurisdiction?

Obviously, this is an extremely regrettable event, and will make that clear to C&F, along with post-DUI progress.

Curious if anyone else here went through something similar.

I have an associate's degree in graphic design and work designing wedding stationery. I've been at my company since 2016, and am now a design consultant - speaking to customers directly and creating custom artwork and designs for them. I know I'm underpaid (50k/year in the SF Bay Area) but I thought the benefits and stability were worth it. I'm now severely burnt out (most of my team is) and not sure which way to go, or how to grow. Any tips/advice?

Thanks!
