squarespace website design

often, capable business owners spend months trying to make their squarespace website work. pages get added, designs get adjusted, and systems get connected – but the site still doesn’t feel clear, polished, or easy to manage.

there is a better way to bring your website together.

LET'S WORK TOGETHER!
website studio 2

instead of spending months trying to piece everything together on your own, we work collaboratively to design and build your website through focused half-day sessions.

this approach allows us to make meaningful progress quickly – while still giving you the clarity and confidence to understand how your website works moving forward.

for most businesses, a squarespace website is completed through two to three half-day sessions.

some clients choose to add extra sessions if their site includes more content, additional pages, or more advanced integrations.

by the end of the process, you’ll have a website that:

• feels aligned with your brand and business
• is clear and easy for visitors to navigate
• works smoothly across mobile and desktop
• is simple for you to manage and update

WHAT DO I NEED TO THINK ABOUT?

what we can create together

  • service and offering pages
  • booking or scheduling systems
  • email sign-up integrations
  • events or workshop pages
  • blogs or resource libraries
  • contact and enquiry flows
  • online products or downloads

how does a squarespace website build work?

we’ve created a focused, collaborative process designed to keep things simple, efficient, and supportive while delivering a professional, polished website that truly reflects your business.

rather than long timelines and endless revisions, your website is built through a series of  half-day sessions ($620 NZD incl. GST per session), allowing us to make meaningful progress while keeping you involved and confident in how your site works.

here’s what to expect:

website planning & preparation

your squarespace website build begins by securing your design dates with a signed agreement and a 50% deposit.

once confirmed, you’ll receive your website planning document, where you can share your vision, content, and branding elements such as logos, colours, and imagery.

we’ll then have a 30-minute call to walk through your ideas, clarify the structure of the site, and ensure everything is aligned before the build begins.

 

LET'S GET STARTED!

first build session

during our first half-day, i design and build the full structure of your website.

seeing the whole site come together allows you to understand the layout, flow, and overall direction before making refinements.

review & feedback

after the first build, you’ll have a few days to review the site and provide feedback or changes.

this gives you space to reflect and respond thoughtfully rather than feeling rushed.

refinement & launch

in the following session/s we implement your changes, connect any systems or integrations, and prepare your website for launch – including domain connection and final checks.

your website is now live – and ready to be shared loudly and proudly.

celebrate the launch, let your community know, and invite people to explore a website that truly reflects the work you do.

FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE TEAM

client love:

“The feedback from many friends and family [about the website] has been ‘It’s so you!’, and I certainly feel this as well.”

“As my starter website this fully meets my current needs. I have complete confidence that as my business develops and morphs the site will be able to effectively change too, but still hold the authentic foundation style and feel which won’t change so much.”

No worries! We build your site on WordPress, which makes it easy to update and grow.

Not at all! While we have a strong background in working with holistic entrepreneurs, we’ve also helped a wide range of businesses, including plumbers, mechanics, gardeners, retailers, and more. If you’re looking for a website that’s both personal and professional, we’re the right fit for your business.

Absolutely! That’s what we’re here for. We’ll brainstorm together to figure out your message, layout, and content, so your site truly represents you and works for your business. While we don’t write the copy for you, we can provide helpful templates and prompts to guide you through the process. Plus, if you need professional help with the wording, we can connect you with trusted copywriters who can craft compelling text that resonates with your audience. We’re here to ensure everything flows smoothly and aligns with your vision.

Of course, you could—there are plenty of DIY tools out there. But here’s the thing—building a website isn’t just about making it look nice. It’s about creating a site that works hard for your business—one that attracts visitors, converts them into clients, and grows with you.

We focus on:

  • Strategic Design – Making sure your site isn’t just pretty but actually guides visitors toward booking, buying, or reaching out.
  • Technical Know-How – Handling all the behind-the-scenes details like SEO, mobile responsiveness, and fast load times.
  • Time Savings – Letting you focus on your business while we handle the tech stuff (and skip the late-night YouTube tutorials).
  • Ongoing Support – Helping you maintain and grow your site as your business evolves.

Think of it like renovating a house—you can DIY it, but a professional gets it done faster, better, and with fewer headaches. We’re here to help you start strong and grow confidently!

We get it—many holistic entrepreneurs have been burned by websites that looked nice but didn’t do much. That’s why we focus on strategy first—so your site doesn’t just look good but also connects with your audience and supports your goals (like bookings, sales, or growing your email list).
