Is Squarespace right for me?

Great question! Whether Squarespace is the best fit depends on your business needs. In some cases, platforms like WordPress or other builders may be more suitable, particularly if you need highly customized integrations or a large-scale site. But in most instances, Squarespace can handle just about everything you need.

Here are a few reasons why I love Squarespace:

No Maintenance Hassles: Unlike other platforms, Squarespace doesn’t rely on plug-ins, meaning no regular updates or maintenance to worry about. Your site will look and function just as it did on day one, without the need for constant check-ins.

User-Friendly: Squarespace is designed with ease of use in mind. After a bit of training, you’ll be able to manage your site, update content, change photos, post blogs, or adjust business information—no coding skills required. It’s ideal for small business owners who want to manage their own website after it’s built.

We can discuss your specific needs early on to determine if Squarespace is the best choice for you.

What does my Squarespace subscription include?

Squarespace is an all-in-one content management system or CMS. With a single subscription, you can create a website, host your content, register domains, sell products, and much more.

Every full Squarespace subscription includes:

• Website building tools
• Content hosting
• Search engine optimization
• Squarespace Analytics
• Responsive design for mobile viewing
• 24/7 Customer Support

You can add these other features:

• Custom domain name
• Email by Google Workspace
• Email Campaigns
• Advanced Commerce features
• Stock images

Can I move to Squarespace from another platform?

Absolutely. If you already own your domain or have a site hosted by another provider, you can move to Squarespace using these options:

If you already own a domain - You can transfer your domain to Squarespace or point it to your Squarespace site.

If you already have a website - If you have a site with WordPress, Blogger, or Tumblr, you can import your blog content to Squarespace. Otherwise, since Squarespace is its own distinct platform, you'll need to rebuild your site using our templates and tools.

If you already have an online store - If you have an online store with Shopify, Big Cartel, or Etsy, or can prepare a list of products in a .csv, you can import your products to Squarespace, then build your site using our templates and tools.

Will you write my copy and content for me?

This is something that varies by client and really depends on whether or not I think I can do your specific business or brand justice. Otherwise, I can recommend some professional copywriters for you.

Can you provide the photos for me?

Absolutely, but for an additional cost because it takes time to find and edit the photos, as well as pay for stock photo subscriptions.

Do I need to purchase a Squarespace subscription before you begin the design process?

No, there’s no need to purchase a subscription before we start. In fact, I recommend waiting until I give you the go-ahead. If you’re new to Squarespace, I can offer you a 20% discount on your first year when you purchase an annual plan. This way, you can save while ensuring we set everything up properly from the start.

How does payment work?

A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your spot. The final 50% is due after our last round of revisions (if you have an existing Squarespace website) or before the keys to your website are handed over (if you are a new Squarespace customer).

How long will my project take?

Projects usually take about five weeks but it can vary depending on the complexity of your website, your adherence to deadlines, technical hiccups, etc. I provide a timeline at the beginning of each project but I try to remain flexible within reason.

Do you offer a la carte design services?

Yes, I offer a la carte services such as making website updates, other maintenance, technical help, design work, etc. Contact me for details.
