Ryan Rumery site 🚀 — and making bespoke Squarespace sites

Ryan Rumery is a composer for film, television, and podcasts. His music is regularly heard on “This American Life” and in the film Food and Country, premiering at Sundance 2023. He is a 2017 alumnus of the Sundance Institute Music and Sound Design Lab: Documentary, and is also a music producer, music editor, and recording engineer. He plays drums and keyboards.

Making reliably bespoke Squarespace sites is in some ways harder than building a site from scratch—Squarespace wants you to rely entirely on their templates, and the “user-friendly” element creates obstacles to things that are simple elsewhere, like targeting divs with CSS. Squarespace’s addition of the Fluid Engine framework also complicated matters.
