Get a Squarespace Website That Feels Like You

A website design and build by a reputable company can range a great deal, based on the level of service and offerings. I offer a few packages based on your website needs. You can find my complete price list here ⇢

It’s important to note that launching a website online will always have extra costs. I charge for design and development. Your operation will have other costs that might include:

URL (domain name) registrar fees.

Squarespace hosting. The price is based on the level of customization and functionality your site needs and includes your web hosting. When you sign up through me, you get a discount on your first year. Yay!

A note on 3rd Parties:

Squarespace integrates with many 3rd party applications for added power across the web. Ie: Paypal, Stripe and Shopify for online sales, Acuity and OpenTable for bookings, Mailchimp for mail, Zapier for many other options.

It’s important to note that some of these are included with your subscription, but some will have their own fees as well. When I build your site we’ll go over all of them with you so you get an idea of your total monthly cost.

Some other fees, depending on your project, could be:

Squarespace in-house add ons, such as an eCommerce shop, newsletter campaigns or online booking and scheduling usually require an upgrade to your site and/or extra fees.

Payment gateways such as Paypal and Stripe have fees per transaction.

Yes! I’m happy to break your payments up into 3 instalments.

Be sure to subscribe to my newsletter to stay informed about my month-long specials as well. Throughout the year I offer a 20% discount which can add up to as much as $600.

Each design company will have their own approach to the web build process. We like to have fun with it, while still sticking to a schedule guideline.

1. We have a virtual meeting to assess your needs

2. We send you a proposal and then a contract with a potential date for start 

3. We collect a deposit

5. We’ll send you an invite to your client portal, our online cloud collaboration platform where we can live chat.

4. In the portal there’s an onboarding package with some worksheets to help you gather your content and write your copy. We’ll take a look at what you have and what you need still.

7. During the build process, we’ll have a round of changes. Then, launch!

9. In the week post-launch, our team will optimize the site for search (SEO) and finalize any behind-the-scenes details. If you ordered any add ons, such as a shop or a scheduler, we would be setting those up here as well.

10. And we'll stick around for 4 weeks to help you orient to your new home on the web.

A website can take anywhere from one day to several months to build, depending on the scope of the project.

Our Template Build Out package will have you launched in a couple of weeks.

Our Custom Web Design package can take anywhere from 4 - 6 weeks.

We’ll give you a time estimate in your quote.

If you require eCommerce with a shop and products, or a Scheduler, or both - this can take longer. Contact us for your custom quote.

Yes and no. We do not write your copy for you. Generally, clients are expected to bring their content to the drawing board and we will design a beautiful website around it.

However, we can help. In our experience, a client will need either Content Management or Content Creation or both.

Content Management - we can help you with this!

You already have a bunch of content (that is, website copy, imagery, sometimes graphics) but you are having trouble visualizing how it will appear on your new website pages. This often happens when there is an old website and you want to keep the content on that site as well as add new content and spruce things up for your new website. This is our area of expertise! We love organizing your content in a way that looks good, is useful to your audience and also good for your SEO.

Content Creation - we can coach you.

You have nothing. Or you have a few lines of text but not enough to fill a website. We can help you create your content to some extent. We will give you our content creation worksheets and, if you get stuck we’ll have a coaching session.

Your content generally should be edited and proof-read and ready for publication at submission. If your website is five pages or under, we’re happy to give it a last look over and final proof. If your project is larger and you need proofreading and/or copy-editing, please let us know. This would be charged at our hourly rate and added to your final invoice.

Note: please let us know if you need help with your content! Content development coaching, when done together, can take an extra week or so. Writing your content however, can be a deeply personal process and can take quite a while! If you are struggling, we recommend hiring a copywriter. This would need to be done before your website build takes place. Ask us for a recommendation!

With your images, we recommend clients get a professional photoshoot for their website. This photoshoot can dictate design inspiration of the site, such as palette and graphic accents. If you don’t have a photoshoot, we include up to two hours of stock photo search and curation in our standard contract. We’ll find the right imagery for your brand.

Your content is part of your website design. It’s not possible to design a website without content.

Generally we won’t book you in for the build in unless we’ve approved completed content documents. This will mitigate any delays.

If you are struggling with it, please do get in touch!
