New digital home
< New Squarespace mobile website
As breathtaking as ipyum is in person, none of that matters if no one knows we exist. A strong digital presence is essential — so we’ve been working to build a proper home online.
From the beginning, we had a simple website on Google Sites. It was a quick-and-dirty solution — functional, but not exactly beautiful. About six months ago, we started experimenting with Wix, hoping for a more polished look. But then we got lucky: the sketchy site that owned ipyum.com let the domain expire, and we managed to register it. Perfect timing.
We now have three domains — ipyum.com, ipyum.id, and ipyum.co.id — but going forward, everything will point to ipyum.com.
Last week, we stumbled across a video from Google explaining that Wix is best for professional designers, while Squarespace is often better for DIY creators. That’s when it clicked — we were using the wrong tool. We immediately signed up for Squarespace, started the domain transfer, and haven’t looked back.
It’s already a huge improvement. The design feels clean and intuitive, and while we still have plenty of content to migrate (especially blog posts), it’s exciting to finally feel at home on the web.
Once the new site is fully settled, we’ll start working on our (currently non-existent) social media presence. One step at a time.
