Our First Billion Dollar Client Site

We’re insanely excited to announce the first billion dollar company using the Squarespace platform for their website — a big welcome Marc Ecko Enterprises (the global fashion/clothing brand). Check out:

http://www.marceckoenterprises.com/

Which is a Squarespace site just like ours and yours, using the same technologies, on the same platform. And for those interested, here’s how dead on we were with respect to keeping the design of the original non-Squarespace implementation:

It’s of course more functional and scalable on our service than the hacked-CMS that ran it prior.

Another very interesting point: There was no cheating in this conversion — and by that I mean this conversion was done with absolutely no modifications to our base XHTML templates, no special Javascript or hosting, and no special backend code. That’s right. No rewriting of our core code — not even a single line, and the site matches up that closely. This is what V5 is all about.

Shirts are in! They look amazing, Ape Do Good Printing in San Francisco did a phenomenal job, I couldn’t be happier. We be hopefully selling a few shirts once we get through with our meetup in the new office. Stay tuned to this blog for shirt availability and the meetup dates!

About a month ago, our friend David Prager introduced us to Kevin Pereira, host of the AOS on the G4 network. After viewing a Squarespace demo, Kevin decided to move his blog over to Squarespace, and with a little help from Senior Designer Krystyn Heide, Kevin created quite an impressive blog. In fact, Kevin was such a fan of the Squarespace experience that we were featured on his show as an accessible and optimal alternative to coding or hiring a designer. The spot premiered last Friday at 7:21pm G4 networks Attack Of The Show! As Squarespace powers so many sites from behind the scenes, it was awesome to see the system fully displayed up on the medium screen. Big screen here we come…
