Template Squarespace Website Design with Basic SEO Setup
If you’re just starting out or want a polished website without the investment of a fully custom build, a template-based Squarespace website is the perfect choice. I’ll take a professional, tried-and-tested template and tailor it to fit your brand, so you get a site that looks clean, modern, and uniquely yours, without the stress of doing it all yourself.
Here’s how it works: we’ll spend up to a month beforehand gathering your content, images, and any details I need. Then, during your dedicated build week, I focus solely on your website, meaning you’ll have a professional site ready to launch in just one week.
Alongside design, I’ll set up the basics of SEO so your site has a strong foundation from day one. This includes:
Keyword research (light touch) to identify a handful of relevant terms for your business.
SEO best practices applied to page titles, descriptions, and image alt text.
Google Analytics & Search Console setup, so you can start tracking traffic and see how people find your site.
This option is a great fit if you:
Need a professional site quickly and cost-effectively.
Want a simple online presence that’s easy to manage.
Are at the beginning of your business journey but still want to be visible in search results.
Pages included: Home, About, Services (single page to incorporate all offerings), Blog, and Contact.
You’ll walk away with a website that’s both beautiful and practical, built on Squarespace’s user-friendly platform.
Custom Squarespace Website Design With Comprehensive SEO Set-Up
A custom Squarespace website design is ideal if your business needs something more tailored, strategic, or robust than a template site. Together, we’ll create a website that not only looks beautiful but also supports your long-term goals, with the depth and flexibility to grow alongside your business.
Here’s how the process works: we’ll spend up to a month beforehand gathering your content, images, and key details. This gives you the space to prepare and me the insight to design with clarity. Then, during your dedicated build week, I focus solely on your website , no other client projects, just yours - so your site is designed, built, and ready to launch in a matter of days.
With custom design, you can:
Include More Pages: Perfect if you need extended service pages, a portfolio, or a blog that’s easy to navigate.
Tailor the User Journey: Map out exactly how you want visitors to move through your site, guiding them to book, enquire, or connect with you.
Showcase Your Brand Fully: Every detail — from layout to colours to typography — is designed around your brand identity for a professional, consistent experience. Please note I don’t offer brand design.
Plan for Growth: If you know you’ll be adding services, products, or resources over time, custom design gives you flexibility to expand without limitations.
Integrate SEO Strategy: Every custom build is paired with a comprehensive SEO strategy, including competitor research, keyword mapping, blog topic suggestions, on-page optimization, and setup of Google Search Console and Google Analytics, so your site is visible, trackable, and ready to rank.
A custom Squarespace design is the best choice if you want a site that feels unique to your business, works strategically for your goals, and has the foundations in place to help you grow.

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.

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.
