Inside Our Industry Report with Christy Price and Will Myers on Circle Live
Squarespace Circle’s State of the Web Design Industry 2026 report is focused on human creativity. Based on a survey of more than 1,000 Circle partners across more than 20 countries, the report highlights what inspires Circle partners, the services they offer, how much they charge clients, and more.
This month, Circle Platinum Partners and Community Leaders Christy Price and Will Myers joined Squarespace’s Sam Zelitch, Senior Community Events Manager, and UX Researcher Mike Gasper to discuss the report on Circle Live.
“Over the years, what I’ve learned is that when clients come and they say, ‘I want a website,’ what they really want is somebody to guide them, offer strategy, and help them with prompts about what the content should be like on their website.”
Christy and Will shared how their views on the report’s key topics, like AI sentiment and the importance of creative fulfillment, shifted in 2025.
