Black Friday Deals 2023 *things I’ve used and loved
It’s that time of year! We’ve all seen those laundry list sale posts, but I wanted to put together a list of Black Friday deals for things that I’ve actually used myself and love! This isn’t a random list - it’s curated around products and courses that I’ve invested in myself and found really helpful. If you are a web designer or entrepreneur, these are some great deals!
What’s included: website policies, contract templates, email newsletter swipes, a course on selling templates (and a gorgeous Squarespace template), Canva courses, a marketing AI assistant, and more!
I love Ghost’s plugins and templates. Plus they have the BEST customer support. Here are just a couple of the things I’ve grabbed this year:
Logo Loading Screen. Make a great introduction by greeting your visitors with a loading screen that displays your logo or custom text.
Confetti Pop! Form. This one is so fun! Display a pop of confetti to celebrate a visitor’s contact form submission or newsletter sign-up. There’s also a version for e-commerce sites: Confetti Pop! Add To Cart.
