Minimalist Squarespace Website Builds

Starts at $3,000

Squarespace Website Design with Copywriting

I build straightforward Squarespace websites that cut through the noise and focus on what your customers need to feel confident reaching out or buying. No complicated features, hardly any meetings, no pressure to “go bigger.” Just a clean, well-written website that does its job showing people you’re the business they’ve been looking for.

My Website Standards

Websites should be accessible to everyone

A great user experience is more important than a unique design

Websites should be built with SEO in mind from the start

What benefits SEO usually benefits accessibility and all users

Websites should follow tried and true best practices

You should fully own your website and have full control over it

Website owners should know how their site works and how users interact with it

Websites should let users know what data they’re collecting and how they’re using it

A great website can be built on any platform, but choosing the right one can make your life easier

Timing and Scheduling

My Squarespace websites are usually get launched within two months, but that time can stretch out depending on your response time/readiness to make decisions. I only take on a handful of website builds throughout the year, so reach out to get on my calendar. Before we start building, you’ll need to have images ready and brand guidelines clearly outlined.
