  1. why do you only design squarespace?

Squarespace websites are beautiful, seamless, and extremely user friendly.  It has the best quality designs and features on the market, and they offer hosting, domains, and templates all under one roof, making your life a little easier!

For the user who loves to do it themselves, Squarespace was created for you! It is incredibly easy for you to maintain and update your website all on your own, but should you get stuck, they also have 24/7 customer support, which is amazing.

All Squarespace templates are responsive and mobile friendly, which means your website will look beautiful across all devices.

Every Squarespace website also has built in SEO (search engine optimization) and an automatically built in sitemap that helps Google crawl, understand, and rank your website in their search engine.

Lastly. Squarespace is a self contained platform, meaning it will always work seamlessly. Never will you have to worry about updating software, plugins, widgets, or about security vulnerabilities. All you have to worry about is growing your business!

2. if squarespace is so easy to use, then why do i need a web designer?

While Squarespace is very user friendly, there is a bit of techy stuff you need to know. For example. to make your website stand out, I use CSS coding to create a unique web design, and not just a template. From set-up to launch, I’ll handle everything so that you don’t have to worry about it!

3. Aside from the package fees, are there additional fees?

Yes. In order to have a Squarespace website, there is a monthly fee ( for up-to-date Squarespace prices, please click here.) You will also need to purchase a domain (if you haven’t already). You can purchase a domain via Squarespace, however, if you’ve already purchased one from somewhere else, we can transfer it to Squarespace.

4. Will you provide photos for my website, or do I need to supply my own?

I always recommend suppling your own high resolution photos (i.e. headshots, action shots of the service you provide, etc.) Providing your own photos not only helps you connect to your target clients, but it will also make your website stand out even more. If, however, you do not have your own photographs, I would be more than happy to supply you website with stock images. Please note, additional fees may apply for stock images.

5. How long does the entire web design process take?

Finishing your website in the allotted time greatly relies on you being available to communicate feedback as soon as design mockups are emailed to you.

6. I already have a logo - Can you just design my website?

It depends - if you already have a high resolution logo, and are happy with it, and it aligns with my design style, then of course we can build a website using your current logo! Web design services with out logo design start at $1,500.

7. Do you offer a payment plan?

Yes! A 50% security deposit is required to reserve your spot in my design queue, and while the remaining 50% is due at the end of the project, you can split it and pay 25% on the day we begin your project, and the remaining 25% can be paid at the end of your project.

8. Aside from your branding packages, do you offer any other services?

Yes! We do offer some a la carte services, which can be found here. If, however, you are unsure of what you might need, please feel free to email me here!
