The Web Design Experience

web design

Engage and inspire your audience with an intelligent and contemporary website that is provides a smooth, responsive and enjoyable experience, encouraging your ideal client to stay, share, and book your services.

Imagine having a website that’s not only visually stunning but also incredibly easy to manage. That’s the beauty of Squarespace.

As a fully managed platform, Squarespace takes care of all the technical details—updates, security, and maintenance—so you don’t have to. Unlike WordPress, there’s no need to worry about plugins, coding, or hiring a developer for every little update. You have full control to make changes whenever you need, with an intuitive, user-friendly interface.

I love designing in Squarespace because it allows businesses to have a professional, high-quality online presence without the stress. If building a website feels overwhelming, I’m here to help. I’ll craft a beautiful, functional site that reflects your brand, engages your audience, and works seamlessly—so you can focus on what you do best.

Deliverables

website direction

In this phase, we delve into discovery, research, and strategy to ensure your website aligns with your goals and resonates with your audience. I’ll also provide some website inspiration, using it as a compass to guide us through the design process.

This is where we translate our strategy and your vision into a tangible design. We will craft a design that is not just visually pleasing but also strategically oriented to deliver results.

design development

Here's where your website starts taking shape. I build your site directly in Squarespace so we can see how it performs in real time. I meticulously test every aspect to ensure everything works flawlessly.

mobile optimisation

I ensure your website is optimised for all devices, providing a smooth and seamless experience for your users. Additionally, we set up basic SEO, paving the way for your online visibility.

INTEGRATIONS

I make integrating any platform with your Squarespace website simple and seamless—whether it’s for e-commerce, email marketing, or social media. By connecting the right tools, I help streamline your operations, track performance, and enhance the customer experience, ensuring everything works together smoothly to support your business needs.

support

I provide you with 30 days email support, so after the handover, you're not left in the dark. I’ll also record walkthrough videos of the backend of your site so that you can easily maintain and update your site yourself. Or if you’d rather, you can always request any edits from me in the future at any point. Your choice!

How it works

  • 01. Client Homework

    Before I begin designing your site I’ll ask you to gather all your content in advance as this ensures a smoother and quicker process. If we are building a new website from scratch, this will mean preparing all your copy and images and saving them to a shared Dropbox folder for me to access. I can help find a copywriter if this is required.

    Already have a website and are looking to refresh the design? Then we can normally skip this step, but it is always worth having a review at this stage to see any updates are required.

  • 02. Create and refine

    This is where I dive in and start designing your site - you probably won’t hear from me for a few days! I’ll be putting together a draft of the website in Squarespace - once I’ve got most of the pages complete I’ll send you an invite to come in to Squarespace and view the work I have done so far.

    Then I’ll ask for your honest feedback on the design and we’ll discuss any refinements you would like me to make. Remember your content doesn’t need to be perfect at this stage as you’ll soon be able to make any content edits yourself.

  • 03. Launch

    Once you’re happy with the web design, I’ll connect your domain to the new website and show you how to upgrade your Squarespace plan from a trial to a paid plan, which will automatically make your site live!

    Now you’re all set and your site is out in the wild, but don’t worry - I won’t be leaving you just yet. I will be sending you a video tutorial (including a personal tour of the back-end of your website) so that you’ll be able to make any edits you need in the future and have complete control over your new online home.

“ The website is so impressive, people are already giving me amazing feedback on it.”

“My primary objective was always to create a site where people can get to know me so they can find out what I’m about and how I work so that I can connect with them. My new website meets that beyond expectations. It has helped me to communicate not only what I do, but also who I am. I feel I can now build credibility in my industry and create stronger connections with new people I’m meeting”.

FAQs

  • Ideally, yes. The design of your site will be an informed and intelligent extension of your brand identity, so it’s important that what you have now doesn’t just feel right for your brand but gives us all the tools we need to take it forward with confidence.

  • You’ll need a website plan/structure, showing your planned content placement and your finalised content, including copy and images. It’s not impossible to start designing without your content, but it tends to make the process longer, messier, and more expensive so it’s best to get your elements as finalised as you possibly can from the start.

  • I design websites in Squarespace - a website building platform and hosting company that’s really user-friendly and easy for clients to manage. The beauty of Squarespace is that it is a totally ‘managed’ platform (unlike WordPress). This means that all updates, maintenance, security and tech stuff is taken care of so you don’t even need to think about it. It also means it’s really easy for you to make updates to your own website without hiring the services of a web designer.

  • Maybe your site is already on Wordpress and you want to keep it there, or maybe you just need Wordpress and that’s ok. I can work with a Wordpress developer to design and build your site. I’ll supply the designs which the developer will use to build it - we both play to our strengths to give you the best result.

  • I don’t offer a website ‘package’ because no two projects are ever the same, and so much difference is driven by a website’s content and functionality. Instead, after we’ve chatted about what you need I set out all deliverables clearly in a proposal so you’ll know exactly what you’re getting, and for how much. Your project can potentially include anything from just one single homepage design, to the design of every vital page of your site.

  • As long as you have a strong brand identity that you feel captures your brand values with distinction, we can go on to create as many or as few web pages as you would like. The more pages you have designed, the more control and consistency you’ll have over your visitors’ online experience. Simple.
