Custom Squarespace Website Design Solutions
Need a beautiful and functional new website but don’t have time to build it yourself?
If you’re a new startup, small business or creative entrepreneur in need of a website to help you market your business…
I can help you with that!
I design and build Squarespace websites, so you’ll get all the benefits of my experience in using Squarespace and my knowledge of best practices for website design.
When I created my first website (a few years ago now!), it took me around six months from design to launch.
Over time, I’ve honed the process into my Two Week Website package so you can launch your stunning, fully functioning and responsive website in a fraction of the time!
A major benefit of working with a Squarespace website designer rather than taking the DIY approach is the time, energy and money you’ll save in the design and launch of your website.
So why choose Squarespace?
Of course, time-saving isn’t the only reason to hire a website designer – your website must also perform. You’ll need it to look and feel professional to attract visitors and convert them into paying clients or customers.
For a functional and beautiful website, choosing Squarespace as your platform and hiring an expert to strategically design your website will give you a head start in achieving your website conversion goals.
-
You don’t need to think about updating software, plugins or widgets, patching security vulnerabilities, or worrying that changing one thing might break something else.
Most functionality is native to Squarespace, so you rarely need to buy third-party apps or plugins to make your website work.
-
Unlike some platforms, you get a free SSL certificate for all domains pointing to a Squarespace website (for both Squarespace Domains and connected third-party domains).
What this means is that your users will be safe in the knowledge that your site is secure.
-
It’s great for SEO – the websites are responsive (a big plus!), and you can easily manage your site descriptions, page titles, URLs, search-friendly formatting, and other key elements in Squarespace’s easy-to-use content management system.
Your website will automatically generate a sitemap so Google (and other search engines) can crawl, understand, and rank your website.
-
Squarespace customer service is second-to-none. On the (very rare) occasions that I’ve needed to contact the customer service team, they’ve always responded quickly and efficiently (they’re accessible 24/7). You can also get answers to your questions at any time using their extensive support pages.
Responsive website design
I use Squarespace because you get a stunning website design, plus Squarespace takes care of all the technical things. One of the main draws is that Squarespace websites are fully responsive – meaning that your website will adapt to match the size of the browser being used to view it. So whether your visitors find you on their mobile phone, tablet, laptop or desktop, your website will look amazing and will function as intended, whatever the platform.
Offering an amazing online experience for your visitors is also great for SEO (Search Engine Optimisation). One of Google’s ranking priorities is responsive website design because of the good user experience it gives.
Let me free you from the stress and overwhelm of building your own website!

Frequently asked questions
-
My website design packages do not include Squarespace hosting fees or a custom domain name – these are purchased separately by you.
Head on over to www.squarespace.com/pricing for all the information you need about Squarespace price plans – but don’t spend your hard-earned cash just yet! As I'm a Squarespace Circle member you, as my client, are eligible for a 20% discount on your first year of Squarespace hosting fees if I design and launch your website.
-
Yes – before I can get started on designing your shiny new website, you will need to have all your content ready to go. This includes photography (whether it’s your own or any stock photos you want to use) and all your site copy.
This can take at least two weeks to put together (longer if you have a lot of pages), so please take this into consideration when booking your design slot.
-
Don't worry – we'll go through exactly what you need to send before the design process begins.
If you've never had a website before, you'll need to create your content (or hire a copywriter/photographer/graphic designer to do it for you). If you are looking for a redesign, we can use your current content. However, you may want to rewrite some or all of your copy and use new images.
-
Additional pages can be included in your website design package at a flat rate of £150 per additional page. In most cases, if your entire website runs to no more than 15 pages, I may still be able to complete your website build in two weeks. But, if you have a large number of additional pages (eight or more), it will take longer due to the extra work required. If this is the case, I will also provide you with a bespoke quote and timescale from design to launch.
-
A page is made up of a maximum of 2,000 words and up to 30 images (photos and illustrations). Pages larger than this can be accommodated; however, the cost per page will be increased accordingly.
-
Yes, I can! The process will be the same as for the Two Week Website. Your new site will be treated as exactly that – a brand new website.
-
Of course – we can migrate your existing website to the Squarespace platform.
The process for building out your new Squarespace website will be as though it's a brand new website, so you'll get everything included in the Two Week Website package.
-
First of all, please fill in the booking enquiry form below to get the ball rolling. We'll then arrange a mutually convenient time for a phone call or Zoom meeting to talk through the details. This will also give both of us a chance to decide if we’re a good fit.
-
When we’ve agreed on a start date (and launch date), I’ll send you an invoice for the total costs.
I’ll need a 50% deposit to secure your slot in my calendar – the remaining 50% will be due on our last day together and is payable before your new Squarespace website is handed over to you.
When your design and build are completed and your invoice balance has been fully paid, you’ll take ownership of your beautiful new website!
-
If you have any questions, drop me a message using the enquiry form below – I'd love to hear from you!
I will get back to you as soon as possible (usually by the next business day).
Let’s work together!
Would you like to get started on your new website? Or perhaps you’d like a little more information before you dive in? Whatever your query, do get in touch – I’d love to hear from you!
My process works because I give my full attention to every website that I design – to be able to do this, I work with one client at a time. This does mean that my design slots are limited so please do get in touch sooner rather than later to secure your preferred slot!
As you will likely need time to get all your content together before we can get started (copy, images, branding, etc.), I recommend getting in touch at least 6 weeks before you want your website to launch.
