Squarespace Template Website Design

An affordable website option

Thoughtfully designed websites that include SEO strategy and reflect your business and goals

What’s the difference between a template and a custom website?

A template website uses a professionally designed layout as the starting point — which I’ll then tailor to fit your brand, content, and goals. It’s more cost-effective than starting from scratch because the design framework is already in place. You still get a beautiful, strategic site — just without the time and cost of fully custom design.

For many creatives, consultants and small business owners, a template-based site is the perfect solution, especially if you want a smart, stylish site, and value SEO but a custom website isn’t an investment you want to make right now.

Every site I design includes thoughtful edits to make the template feel like you, plus strategic SEO to help you get found online.

“Clare guided me through every step with patience, clarity, and genuine support.

She really took the time to understand what I wanted the site to reflect and created something that feels both professional and personal. Her eye for design, attention to detail, and calm, collaborative approach made all the difference.”

frequently asked questions

  • Once you book your spot, I'll guide you through a simple prep process, including selecting a template, gathering your content, and outlining your goals. I allow up to a month for this prep work so you have plenty of time to get everything ready. When I have all the necessary information, your one-week build officially begins, and by the end of that week, you’ll have a polished, fully functional website ready to launch.

  • I take on only one website per month to ensure each client gets my full attention. Because there’s a lead-up period for gathering content, I recommend booking at least a month in advance to secure your spot. You'll choose a start date on my calendar, and from there, we’ll work through the prep process together before your build week begins.

  • To keep things moving smoothly, you’ll need your brand elements (logo, colors, fonts), website copy, and any images you'd like to use. Don’t worry—I’ll provide a clear checklist to help you get everything organized before we begin.

  • No problem! If you're still working on branding, I can recommend resources to help. For copy, I provide guidance on what you need for each page, and I can offer feedback to ensure it's clear and effective. If you'd like extra help with writing, I can provide details for copywriters - I don’t write copy myself.

  • Absolutely! Your website will be easy to update, and I’ll provide a walkthrough so you feel confident making edits. If you need ongoing tweaks or SEO support, I also offer ad-hoc services to help keep your site fresh and optimized.

  • Your one-week website includes a fully customized Squarespace template - depending on the option you choose - SEO setup, mobile-friendly design, and a recorded tutorial so you know how to manage your site moving forward. You’ll also get a stress-free, streamlined process that saves you hours of DIY frustration.
