Squarespace natively links with either Mailchimp or its own email marketing system, Campaigns.
Linking up your email marketing to Mailchimp or Campaigns is free of charge. However, linking up to a different email provider will incur a £50 fee. I don't get involved in any automations or set ups of email services, apart from Campaigns which I can offer.
Please get in touch for more details. -
I am passionate about Squarespace as a platform and truly believe it is perfect for small businesses.
It has the perfect mix of advanced, modern aesthetics which look stunning, along with an easy interface that is a joy to use.
As your trusted small business web designer, I believe in working with a platform that is going to be stress-free for you to manage yourself. This is why Squarespace is such a good option.
It's also very secure and doesn't need tricky security plugins or upgrades. It pretty much takes care of itself! -
Yes. Within 14 days of your website, I'm available via email for any questions you might have. Any small tweaks to text or changing the odd photo is also included within 14 days.
Should you wish to hire me to make changes to your website in the future, I'm available at an hourly rate of £50 to my clients, with a minimum charge of 30 minutes.
-
In addition to my website design fee, you will have costs to register a domain name plus your annual hosting plan with Squarespace.
Typically my clients take out a Squarespace business plan which is around £200-£250 per year. My clients receive a 20% discount on their first year as I am a Squarespace Circle member. You can see pricing for the plans here. -
I have been a small business web designer since April 2020 when I decided to learn Squarespace during the pandemic. Since this time, I've created numerous small businesses website designs for mostly creative service-led businesses.
Prior to this, I was a successful luxury wedding photographer for 7 years, running my own business including managing my own website and running all my own marketing.
I've embarked on a great deal of training in both Squarespace, SEO and marketing and continue to do so to ensure my knowledge is ahead of the game.
I'm also currently completing my SEO accreditation with SEOSpace and am a member of the Squarespace Circle.
I have also been part of the in-house team at The Design Space for 4 years, a world-renowned web design company and marketing community. I continue to do this role alongside my freelance small business web designer services.

As a small business web designer, my clients are typically solopreneurs or micro-businesses in a creative field including photographers, interior designers, coaches, therapists, counsellors, copywriters, fitness Instructors, yoga teachers, gardeners, nutritionists, community groups, charities, make-up artists, florists and more.
They are usually looking for a modern, elegant website design solution to launch their business or perhaps to replace an outdated website they've outgrown.
The small business web packages I offer suit service providers who want a beautiful brochure-style website and are happy with having a high-end designer template individually customised rather than a fully custom-built website. If you need a custom design with complex features, then this might not the best service for you.
I work with premium template designs to offer affordable website solutions as most of my clients don't want to budget thousands for a fully custom built website. They have seen my portfolio and align with my modern, elegant design style.
I am not the best fit for larger businesses or those wanting a corporate finish to their website. -
I always recommend we have a 15-20 minute call to get to know each other and for me to find out more about your brand and the aspirations you have for your website.
We can discuss the small business web packages I offer and determine which one will suit your business best. Once we've determined that we are a good fit to work together, we'll book in your design days to suit you.
At this point, a 50% deposit is due with the remainder due once the website is built and before it goes live.

A basic SEO set up to ensure best practice is met is included. This includes adding page titles and meta descriptions, plus adding image names and alt tags for up to 10 images per page. Your images will also be compressed to ensure your site loads fast. However, this is not an SEO strategy.
If you need a bespoke strategy for your SEO including keyword research or an on and off page strategy, I offer SEO services which need to completed well in advance of any content being created. Please see my Squarespace SEO Consultant page here for more details. -
Copywriting is not included in your website design package, however, I work with a number of excellent copywriters that I can recommend.
I do create compelling headings and calls to actions throughout your website but the main bulk of the content is up to you to provide.
However I will give you a content guide to help you create the content required to work in your small business website. -
I don't usually get involved in registering your domain for you, however, it's a straightforward process. I recommend 123 Reg or Go Daddy but I usually recommend searching for availability for your domain on 123 Reg as I've found Go Daddy can change the price of your domain once you've looked to see if it's available!
