ANSWERS to QUESTIONS
-
Squarespace is an all-in-one self-contained hosted DIY website platform. Clients love it as it's very user-friendly making it easy to amend and maintain your own website backed-up by extensive documentation, help guides, forum and 24 / 7 award winning support there for you when you need any help. And designers like me love it too because we can create beautiful websites for people like you that they really love and can then easily amend and look after themselves going forwards.
-
The free Squarespace templates are great and cater for everyone, but you’re not everyone are you? They're also quite generic and designed more to be a starting point to be amended and developed to meet your own needs so normally need work to evolve them into a more bespoke design and layout.
As well as looking totally stunning premium Squarespace templates also tend to be strategically designed to inspire visitors to engage, subscribe and buy.
By selecting a premium Squarespace template specifically and strategically designed for your style or niche, you’re making a smart move for a professional and effective website.
-
Yes pretty much, however I recommend choosing a premium Squarespace 7.1 Fluid Engine template, these are the latest templates and the templates I work with plus they'll be easiest for you to look after yourself once the template restyle is complete.

Premium template customisation is perfect for you if you love the look of a template, but you don’t have the time, energy or desire to customise it yourself. It's a fantastic option for a less expensive done-for-you web design service that uses a strategically custom-designed website template to design you a gorgeous new website.
With this service, you’ll get the individual attention of an expert Squarespace designer who will transform the site to match your brand in as little as two weeks.
Alternatively, for a site that’s truly unique, check out our fully custom website design packages. Another option is to purchase a premium template and customise it yourself if you're happy to DIY that is, see my favourite Premium Squarespace templates.
If you’re not quite sure a template customisation is right for you, just drop me a line and we can go through things together.
-
A least 2 weeks before the project start date, you'll provide your imagery and text content and your brand colours, fonts and logo if you have them, more details below...
COLOURS & FONTS - We'll have the option to customise the colours and fonts in your chosen template to reflect your brand style. You can provide a brand guide detailing your colour palette and typography either prepared by yourself or a graphic designer, or add the Mini-brand service to your project and I'll prepare it for you or we can retain the fonts and colours of the template.
TEXT CONTENT - You'll provide the text copy for your website, many premium templates come with text content guidelines to help with this. If you’d like additional help with this, at the beginning of our project I can point you in the right direction resources I highly recommend.
IMAGERY - The number of images needed will depend on your chosen template and the pages I'll be customising for you. Generally speaking you'll need 1-2 headshots and around 12-14 additional images as a minimum for around 5 pages, the more professional brand images to choose from the better though.
Quality images are a key element to the success of your website and I heartily advise a professional brand photoshoot that includes different poses, locations and outfit changes. To get the best results if using stock imagery ensure they are cohesive with your brand style and colours and if you'd like help selecting stock imagery you can add image curation as an extra service, please enquire for further details.
LOGO - If you have a logo, you'll need to provide it in transparent .png format, if you don't have a logo I can create a simple wordmark logo using Squarespace installed fonts. You can also add my Mini Brand service which includes colours and font selection if you don't have a 5 colour palette or professionally designed brand already.
-
The template price is not included and will vary depending on your chosen template, they often range from around £150 to £460 / $200 to $600.
Your template will most likely come with a 6-month free trial of Squarespace and so you won't need to sign up to a Squarespace subscription plan until your website is ready to launch or the free trial period ends. You'll be eligible for a 20% discount on your first year of the annual subscription, this will be the Squarespace Business Plan (or higher).
You'll need a domain name, which if you don't already have one can be arranged through Squarespace or other provider. Any further additional add-ons may require separate purchases, such as email, email marketing, scheduling through Acuity Scheduling etc.
-
Yes of course, you'll be able to review your new site and submit a list of tweaks / changes. After the build your website will be all yours, you'll have full access to make any adjustments you wish to yourself or you can hire me for a half-day or full day or hire any other designer.
