Standout Squarespace
01
Hi! My name is Katherine Shuler and I’m a Brand & Web Designer based in Austin, TX, USA.
02
Outside work you will often find me unplugging through exercise, such as taking long walks in the neighborhood, boxing, and weight lifting. Sometimes, I find myself dreaming of new ways to refresh my home and dip into my interior design hobby. When it's time to relax, I either binge on reality TV or try out a new pasta recipe in the kitchen. (V I E W)
03
But on a typical workday, I am usually up around 6:30 AM and start my day by making a coffee protein shake. I then go through my inbox and adjust my schedule to prioritize tasks for the day. I try to take a quick walk outside, but if I can't, I make sure to get my steps in using a walking pad under my desk. My typical workload includes working on custom client websites and brands, handling UI/UX work for the agency I freelance for, and focusing on marketing for Rainey Studio. (V I E W)
04
My day usually starts with coffee
05
Most of the time I am working on website design, updates, and audits
06
What are your first memories of the Internet?
When I was a little girl, I remember my dad bringing home a massive IBM desktop computer. I was immediately fascinated and spent many days of my childhood playing games such as The Sims. I eventually grew into the MySpace era, where I learned how to customize my profile using CSS. My love for technology and my traditional art background gave me clarity on what I eventually wanted to go to school for - Graphic Design.
07
What is the best part about the process of building websites for you?
I love creating a brand's online presence. Websites offer ample space to display a visual story and showcase the brand's personality through small interactions and animations, creating a unified system.
08
What is your favorite stretch or pastime in between coding?
I am really enjoying diving into and experimenting with Webflow and Framer as platforms to offer clients. As a designer who uses Figma every day, I find both web-based builders offer ample space for creativity and customization without feeling daunting or too complex.
09
How would you describe your Standout Style in 2-3 words? Feminine. Timeless. Modern. Editorial
10
Which Standout workshops do you find yourself incorporating most often on your website projects?
I frequently reference workshops that focus on galleries, hover interactions, and scrolling. Adding small customized touches of code can help a brand stand out from templated designs and give it a unique voice and personality on a digital platform.
11
What makes your work standout?
I have a diverse professional background that includes leadership in in-house start-up design and running my own studio. I've lived in Texas for over 10 years, where I've been inspired by the creative environment of Austin. However, I also draw inspiration from my Carolina roots, which are more classic and timeless, influenced by the beautiful landscape of tall trees and the Atlantic. I strive to create clean and elegant branding and website designs, using sophisticated typography to convey personality and employing strong art direction to establish a cohesive and timeless brand system that feels modern and fresh.
12
What are the biggest takeaways from the Standout programs?
Standout is incredibly organized, detailed, and thoughtful. I've gained a wealth of knowledge about web design and development, including responsive design best practices, strategic copywriting, SEO, optimization, and more. Rache is always available to assist, answer questions, give feedback, and support all her students. It's definitely a worthwhile investment.
13
What is your dream website project?
I would love to collaborate with an interior design studio that aligns with my aesthetic. The studio's website should have a sophisticated and classic design, displaying beautiful spaces with edge-to-edge media. In addition, I envision an accompanying e-commerce platform to sell their curated selection of furniture, decor, and other items that add warmth and personality to a home.

Bare Nordic Beauty
My proudest website build so far is an e-commerce site for a client on Shopify called Bare Nordic Beauty. I took the skills I learned from working with Squarespace and applied them to Shopify. What started as a small complementary shop for a Nordic beauty brand boutique has grown into a full-fledged e-commerce store with over 400 products. The key lesson I learned from this project is to never set boundaries on what you can achieve.
13
What are the biggest takeaways from the Standout programs?
One of the most valuable lessons I've learned from the Standout programs is that with the right mindset and people cheering you on, you can achieve anything. The program has not only given me the necessary skillset but also fostered the confidence and mindset to stand out and design uniquely. The supportive community, always cheering us on, has been a huge part in pushing boundaries and reaching my goals.
14
What is your dream website project?
My dream website project would be to build a visually bold and modern website that gives visitors an alluring and inspiring customer journey for an up-and-coming personal brand in the beauty industry. I envision creating a website that showcases their unique products and services, tells their story, and engages their audience with captivating content. This project would combine my passion for design with my love for the beauty industry, allowing me to craft an online presence that truly stands out and resonates with beauty enthusiasts.

What are some of your proudest works you've worked on?
Lucie Fink
I worked with Lucie on revamping her brand identity and website. She was on a boring Squarespace template and her goal was to have a place where she was proud to send potential collaborations and house all of her content. She needed a brand and website that reflected her and her fun, colorful aesthetic.
We used the moodboard plug-in to show off Lucie's creative style and provide an interactive component to her audience.
I learned how to use summary blocks and blogs to load all of her content. Lucie shares her videos across all different platforms and we needed to find a way to make it easy for her audience to find.
13
What are the biggest takeaways from the Standout programs?
It's a goldmine of information! I used to Google my way through my business, specifically when it comes to web design. Now, if I'm ever stuck on anything in the development process, I pop over to the community and course and can more than likely find what I'm looking for. I also love how up-to-date the Standout programs remain in our ever-changing world.
14
What is your dream website project?
I have SO many! I'd love to work with a large, well-known brand that I admire on a Shopify overhaul. A brand that comes to mind is Show Me Your Mumu!

Hi! My name is Kacey Musick and I’m a Developer | Your Dev Bestie based in Philadelphia, PA
02
Outside work you will often find me taking long AF walks around my city, listening to audio books OR posted up at a coffee shop spending time talking non-stop with my IRL friends. ( V I E W )
03
But on a typical workday, I am usually at my standing desk with at least 3 beverages, Chill Tracks playlist in my headphones, doing daily coding practice, keeping in constant contact with my work besties on Threads, while building out Squarespace sites for my most favorite designers. ( V I E W )
04
My day usually starts with coffee, a walk, and CEO time
05
Most of the time I am working on getting better and better at development.
“The main principle of Jupiter Development Studio is simple:
Quality Squarespace development for designers who build client-first websites without design limitations.
This means serving designers with skill AND efficiency.
The result is my ‘intensive’ brand model.”
06
What are your first memories of the Internet?
Some of my first memories are of being on the computer with my Mom! I was about 5 when she taught me how to type in command lines to run games on the family computer (in the 90s!!!) Then, by the time I was a tween, it was AOL instant messenger all day every day - this is still why I can type at the speed of light.
07
What is the best part about the process of building websites for you?
As a developer, I love breaking the design down into parts and then translating it into a responsive space. I love figuring out how to build these designs to perfectly match the mockup designers send me. My focus is always on creating beautiful, responsive websites that are easy for people to use. I LOVE it when designers come to me with a beautiful idea that they’re not sure how to build. My brain comes alive and I can’t get enough.
08
What is your favorite stretch or pastime in between coding?
When I am mid-code, I typically put on a movie or TV show that I’ve seen a hundred times before. (Typically, a 90s romcom.) Having something familiar on in the background gives me just enough to ignore so my brain can refocus on the code at hand.
If something really stumps me, I’ll hop on my bike and take a 10 minute spin to shake off any error messages.
09
How would you describe your Standout Style in 2-3 words? Editorial. Minimalist. Playful.
10
Which Standout workshops do you find yourself incorporating most often on your website projects?
Every single workshop is so helpful in making me a better developer. But, it’s less about specific code snippets, and more about the technique that is woven through the Standout Squarespace curriculum. Thanks to the workshops, and both version of the course, I am able to craft new pieces of code to create the looks my designers need. But, specifically, I think I use pseudo elements every single day. That and Flex Box.
11
What makes your work standout?
I am a people-first developer. I practice code every day, I revisit lessons and workshops, and keep W3 schools open in (multiple) tabs of my browser. I do this because I want to make sure that what I build is actually easy to use for my designers AND their clients. I make sure I have experience building custom features so that I can inform and empower designers to create websites that clients aren't scared to touch.
12
What are some of your proudest works you've worked on?
Fernweh Studios designed by Mindful Charlene
This client project was my first as a development studio. It was an incredible experience, working closely with Charlene (fellow Standouter) to bring her stunning design to life was just such a dream. Her design required lots of Standout techniques, including text decors, pseudo elements, vertical tabs, hover effects, and about a hundred others to restructure list sections to best capture the painstaking vibes of her clients.
What I learned on that project has heavily influenced how I offer development and what I KNOW I’m capable of.
13
What are the biggest takeaways from the Standout programs?
The Standout programs doesn’t just give me stuff to memorize or teach what I could have Googled. It is this in-depth experience that feels more like grad school than an online course.
I took the first version of the course a couple years ago, and it took me about 3 months of hardcore study, along with hours and hours of work to get through those lessons. I stubbornly kept at it until one day … it clicked.
Because Rache teaches HOW TO THINK about development, I’ve been able to practice and hone my own development craft by relying on techniques taught in this program.
Recently, I sat down to take the updated version of the course and I finished in a week. It’s not because the course got easier - it’s because Rache taught me how to do this (and to do it efficiently!)
14
What is your dream website project?
I want to work with design studios who are focused on people-first Squarespace websites. I want to work with designers who push the envelope, who have clear objectives, who want to grow and serve their clients on every level. I want to work with studios who welcome a developer as collaborator with big time bestie vibes!

Hi! My name is Haley Withers and I’m a Brand & Web Designer + Developer based in North Wales, United Kingdom.
02
Outside work you will often find me surfing, traveling or out for a walk in the hills with my dog. (VIEW)
03
But on a typical workday, I am usually designing brands and websites, obsessing over my incredible clients and sipping on a black coffee from my V60.
04
My day usually starts with cuddling my dog.
05
Most of the time I am working on branding, packaging and web design.
06
What are your first memories of the Internet?
Myspace, Xanga, HTML - oh my! I came of age in the golden era of the internet (or so I believe). I've been slinging code around since my very first all HTML website about frogs. Myspace was the evolution and my ultimate creative expression.
07
What is the best part about the process of building websites for you?
I love the whole process! Designing the website speaks to my soul while bringing it to life speaks to my problem solving mind.
08
What is your favorite stretch or pastime in between coding?
A good shake out - going to the gym, doing some yoga or getting outside in any capacity, preferably a surf!
09
How would you describe your Standout Style in 2-3 words? Editorial. Minimalist. Modern.
10
Which Standout workshops do you find yourself incorporating most often on your website projects?
Sticky & Scrolling sections, Image on Hover, Mega Menu, Scrolling Marquee, literally all of them! I love trying new things on all projects.
11
What makes your work standout?
That I love to push the limits of what is possible, especially on the web. My style is finding your style, but I tend towards more minimalistic, type driven, grid layouts for that editorial feel. Personally, I am drawn towards calming, quiet and natural spaces and this is reflected in personal projects. That being said, I love to explore different design styles that push me out of my comfort zone!
12
What are the biggest takeaways from the Standout programs?
That nothing is impossible! The Standout programmes have broadened what I believe is possible with code, especially on a platform like Squarespace and Shopify. We can truly bring our wildest visions to life.
13
What is your dream website project?
My dream website project would be for an architect! I'd love to create minimalist typography driven exploration of the built spaces they are creating. I'd also love to work with more product based businesses especially those in the food and beverage industries!

07

Exploring design direction. And what I like the most is building and coding it to live. I love the thrill and the problem solving part of building the site.
08

Brew another coffee. The smell of freshly brewed coffee lifts my spirit. At the end of the day/week, I reward myself with a few episodes of Kdrama.
09
How would you describe your Standout Style in 2-3 words? Editorial. Earthy. Modern.
10
Which Standout workshops do you find yourself incorporating most often on your website projects?
Every single one of the Standout workshops is valuable in making a unique standout website. I learned a lot from Rache's thought process and how to apply that, not only limited to the workshop materials but I can use the same principles to solve other problems as well.
11
What makes your work standout?
I took time to listen to my client's problem, provide the simplest solution, and elevate it to make it look unique and stand out. Every client is different, every project is a new challenge. I am always up for any creative challenge. I am led by curiosity and skill-driven results.
12
What are some of your proudest works you've worked on?
Mutual Muse.
Website → As a Shopify Developer this is my proudest project. Designed by the lovely Dana from @paradise.studio.design Lots of the buildout from this site is based from my learning from Standout Squarespace and Standout Shopify. And I use lots of assets from Standout Shopify Code Toolkit that I modified so it looks like the design that Dana has.

Website →Designed by KUYA, my role in this project is the Shopify Developer. This is a non-profit project that won 2024 D&AD award for Writing in Design (Graphite Pencil)
Gaze
Website →As designer and developer, this is my proudest project. What I love about it is, the challenge of how to make Squarespace website look unique
13
What are the biggest takeaways from the Standout programs?
Rache's teaching style and materials are unique, aesthetic, and very importantly: make sense. Standout program has the best of both worlds of creativity and coding. Being a designer who loves to venture and learn more in coding, I took many coding courses and most of them were too long/too slow/too boring but not with Standout. Every module sparks interest and Rache's way of teaching makes coding make sense.
Also, the community. I met lots of new friends in Standout, and collaborate on projects and develop meaningful relationships.
14
What is your dream website project?
Be part of a project that is bigger than me.

I really focus on amalgamating my design sense with the clients' vision. I really want my client to love their website so I ensure I'm building to their unique requests. Although I have my own sense of design, I really listen to them and build around their design preference and vision as well. This creates quite an eclectic portfolio!
12
What are some of your proudest works you've worked on?
Stamp and HammerWebsite →I have many. But I looooove what I did with the Stamp & Hammer website. They really challenged me in building something out of the box and there have been many times I had to amalgamate a few CSS workshops or plugins. There are some key components inside this website that I had to build from scratch. Like the floating newsletter bar and the home page rotating banner with video, images with Kenburns effects. Tons of amazing, fun challenges on this site.
13
What are the biggest takeaways from the Standout programs?
I would need to credit standout for a lot of my design techniques, my successful business structure and my ability to get through touch sticky codes. I love building and this course focuses on those who want to step out of the box. I love coloring outside the lines :)
14
What is your dream website project?
I would love for someone to come to me and say 'I'll leave all the design and decision making to you!' Building a website without restriction or a cap on creativity has always been a dream.

06

07

11

My goal when working on a website is to make a difference for the business I am working with. Having a site that they are visually happy with and proud to share is very important but the functionality of a site is always my number one focus.

Wild WordsmithWebsite →One website I am really proud of is for a copywriting business called the Wild Wordsmith. This project required us to take a lot of existing content and create a site that is easy to navigate around whilst still staying true to the branding.

These included:
- rotating elements
- hover effects
- scrolling text
- split sections with flexbox
- list section customisations
- sticky sections
- megamenu
13
What are the biggest takeaways from the Standout programs?

Hi! My name is Katie Sears and I’m a Brand + Web Designer based in Atlanta, GA.
02
Outside work you will often find me working...but I'm working on that.
You'll also find me:
- Reading in the park
- Cooking and drinking wine with my twin sister
- Hanging out with my grandad
- Thrifting online or in person (VIEW)
03
But on a typical workday, I like to make the part of the morning where I have my coffee and I'm just doing a little creative work last as long as possible before I check my email. Then I usually interact with humans - clients, fellow creatives, or my sister in the afternoon.
04
My day usually starts with making the bed. It helps me feel sane.
05
Most of the time I am working on brand and web design. It never stops and I don't want it to. I love what I do.
06
What are your first memories of the Internet?
I distinctly remember the dial-up tone on the family computer sitting in a "den" covered in 70's orange wood paneling. And I also have fond memories of playing the Disney Channel online games at my grandparent's house.
07
What is the best part about the process of building websites for you?
Getting to be "Type A" and a creative at the same time. Websites should be predictable to some extent and use patterns to make visitors feel at ease. At the same time, within that structure, a site should be innovative and surprising enough to keep people's attention.
08
What is your favorite stretch or pastime in between coding?
I feel that napping is an integral part of the coding process.
09
How would you describe your Standout Style in 2-3 words? Minimalist. Modern. Playful.
10
Which Standout workshops do you find yourself incorporating most often on your website projects?
Learning flexbox unlocked something in my brain. I use it to customize the header navigation in a lot of my sites. But learning to scope sections so I can preset different layouts for my clients is what I use nonstop.
11
What makes your work standout?
I have a photographer on staff.
I have amazing copywriters in my back pocket.
As a designer, I can clear away the clutter and create a site that feels effortless.
Everything that makes it onto my websites serves a purpose.
12
What are some of your proudest works you've worked on?
Brilliant Escapes
A client project including brand, web, and photography for a luxury travel planner
We recommended a copywriter for the client. Then we built a brand suite, captured portrait and lifestyle photography, and then brought everything together in a stunning website. We leaned on our tried and true systems — steady meetings, email reminders, and guided client forms to keep a complex project organized.
As far as what I used from Standout Squarespace, sometimes it's hard to recall because Rache really empowers us to be intuitive developers. If pressed, I'd say scoping, responsiveness, and type style setup.
This project was supposed to be a template restyle and we purchased a template from another designer but I learned that I have a hard time with limitations and ended up basically building a site from scratch to fit my desire for an easy-to-edit site.
13
What are the biggest takeaways from the Standout programs?
Rache really covers so much ground. She teaches designers to create in their own way and gives them the technical know-how to do it. Standout programs are the highest quality courses I've ever encountered.
14
What is your dream website project?
Design for an up-and-coming foodie.
I want to create a site for the next Sohla El-Waylly, Matty Matheson or Alison Roman.
I love food. My twin sis would be doing the photography, obviously, and I'd build a site that was easy to update and visually stunning.

My work is always clean and intuitive, but I like to add something whimsical to everything I build-- something that perks your eyebrow up and makes you think, '"ooh, that's nice"
12
What are some of your proudest works you've worked on?
My own website is probably my proudest website build so far, easyoriginals.com. For this one my process has been a bit ongoing, since it's my own website. As I learned more about Squarespace, I improved my website more and more. Some standout workshops I used are: wavy marquee, sticky sections, split sections, and I also had to do some javascript deep diving to figure out the menu stick/scroll feature.
13
What are the biggest takeaways from the Standout programs?
Scoping your work well and and keeping your code clean will save you SO MUCH TIME and energy, it will make things easier for your clients, for future iterations of the software, and for future collaborators.
14
What is your dream website project?
I do a lot of service-based businesses right now, but I'd love to get into more product-based e-commerce websites. Craft cannabis or distillery, a funky ceramicist, a slow fashion brand, or a fun kids brand would all be amazing to work on and allow for something really fun and different!

Moreover, I prioritize client empowerment, ensuring that they can easily maintain their websites on their own, even after our collaboration has ended.

What is your dream website project?
I'd love to work with female-led businesses since my style is more feminine. I would also love to work with visual creators, such as photographers, artists, event planners, designers, and handmade business owners.
