Educator & Squarespace Web Designer

I’m the designer, educator, and unapologetic nerd behind LTDT. I love sharing systems & client processes for solo designers & freelancers. After years of freelancing myself with zero clue, no real systems and a whole lotta self-doubt, I ditched perfectionism, leaned into messy action, and built a business that’s now supported HUNDREDS of creatives around the world. 💻⚡

Hi Reader,

There have always been seasons in my business when I'm able to manage my time more efficiently than others. Right now is one of those iffy seasons where my to-do list is way too long, the sunshine is bright, the weather is warm-ish, and I'm feeling a bit too antsy sitting at my desk. 😬🤭 #sorrynotsorry

Plus, I'd bet you're following a lot of people in this web design, or adjacent space, right? Me too. There's A LOT going on right now that I don't want you to miss if you're looking to up-level a skill right now.

Here's what's worth your attention, from people I've bought & learned from myself, & would recommend to a friend without hesitation. Sorted by category so you can skim quickly & explore what's useful for you. 👇

BRANDING

📣 Kadie's Sale ENDS tomorrow → May 2nd, 2026

Founders pricing on The Brand Bundle is ends tomorrow! And this is the last time it'll ever be available at this price. They've added a student community on Circle & regular coaching calls, making it genuinely valuable!

The Brand Bundle includes both of Kadie's courses: The Brand Edit® (DIY your own brand identity) and The Brand Business (learn to offer branding as a service to clients) — together at a significant discount of $1,000+ USD. After May 2nd at 6pm CST, that price goes up to reflect the updates & improvements after the first round.

Remember, you can watch the replays of the 2 guest workshops she's done for my Club members to get a feel for her teaching style & personality! 👉🏼 Add $1k to your Website Projects, or Coaching: Why Does Branding Cost So Much? 👈🏼

ℹ️ NOTE: The Brand Edit® is a prerequisite course for The Brand Business. The Brand Business program is only available to students who either enroll in the bundle of both courses at the same time, or to students that are ready to upgrade from The Brand Edit®, because they build on each other!


TEMPLATES

🖥️ Free Class: How to Build a Successful Squarespace Template Shop

When: May 11, 2026 @ 9am PST / 12pm EST / 4pm GMT

Kate Scott is hosting a free live workshop where she’s sharing the details of how to set up your successful Squarespace template shop to give you more time, freedom and profit in your business.

Kate is a Squarespace legend who quit client work just nine months after launching her website template shop—and had her best month ever! To date, she’s taught 250+ web designers how to launch their own successful template shops inside her signature course Scale with Templates, and countless more through this free training.

A replay will be sent out to registrants afterward, but if you can make it live, you can get your questions answered during the Q&A part at the end!

Overwhelmed as we age

Diane wrote this really poignant article on Substack about how we digest and absorb information as we age, and how powerfully we can redirect our focus, ––but it comes at a cost of something we think we've lost too. Read it here (free)!

That's it for now. I'm gonna go get back to work on that to-do list!

See ya next time!
