Behind the Scenes of Squarespace Circle with Sarah Greisdorf and Sam Zelitch

In this episode of "Somewhat Useful," we get to speak with special guests Sarah Greisdorf, team lead for Squarespace Circle, and Sam Zelitch, Squarespace senior community events manager.

Our conversation centers around Circle Day, now in its third year, which celebrates the work of professional Squarespace website designers. Sam and Sarah share some updates for this year's event, including a new "world loop" feature that will broadcast the event across multiple time zones and languages.

We discuss:

  • The structure and highlights of this year's Circle Day
  • How Squarespace balances feedback from professional and DIY users
  • The role of community in product development and user satisfaction
  • Teasers for upcoming Squarespace features and improvements
