Custom Web Design

FOR SERVICE-BASED BUSINESSES + ENTREPRENEURS

Custom Squarespace websites designed specifically for you from the ground up. Rooted in strategy, fully optimised, functional to the needs of your business, and ready to work hard for you.

When it comes to your website, first impressions matter.

In about HALF a second website visitors form an opinion about whether they’ll stay or leave a website. If your website is outdated, hard to navigate or if you don’t have one at all- it’s costing you money and clients.

I’VE GOT YOU COVERED.

My simple 4 step process makes custom web design a breeze.

Whether you need a website built from the ground up or your current site just isn’t cutting it anymore, I’ll design you a new Squarespace website that not only looks great but is rooted in strategy and fully functional to the needs of your business. You’ll be able to sit back and feel confident knowing your website is nailing those first impressions every single time.

My Simple 4 Step Process:

  • Before we start your project you’ll have some homework to take care of.

    Once we get you all booked into my design calendar, you’ll receive a Website Starter Kit to help you gather all of your content (branding, photos and all of the words for your website) so that you can have everything prepared before we start designing and building your website.

    All of your homework is due one week before your design date.

  • First things first! We’ll jump on a 1 hour Kick-off Call together before your design date to review all of your homework as well as discuss the style and vibe you’re looking for, and how your site should function to serve your business and website visitors best.

    Once our plan is in place, and we have a clear vision of how your website will look and function, I’ll get to work!

    If you’ve opted for the Mini Brand Kit, I’ll start there in order to give us our colour palette, fonts, logos and overall visual style moving forward.

    Then I’ll move onto the Home page which will set the tone for the rest of your website.

  • Once we get your Home page just right. I’ll start designing and building out the remaining pages, and ensure that the style and vibe stays cohesive throughout the website.

    We’ll work through up to 3 rounds of revisions (if needed) to make sure your site is just right before moving on.

    Then I’ll optimise the back end of your website to ensure it’s working for you. And I’ll add in some extra bits of code to make your site pop and look really polished.

    I’ll also go through and incorporate some basic SEO functions and we’ll connect your site directly to Google Search Console to help with your search engine rankings in the future.

  • We’ll test your site across multiple devices and screen sizes to ensure it always looks its absolute best on any device, and tweak any issues we might have missed during the initial build.

    Then we’ll jump on our 1.5 hour Lesson + Launch Call where I will show you all around the back end of your website and teach you how everything works so that you can have full control of your own website moving forward.

    And when our call is done we’ll get your site all connected and you’ll be officially LAUNCHED!

  • When you apply to work with me I’ll review your project and if it seems like we’ll be a good fit, I’ll get back to you within 48 hours (often sooner!) to get you all booked in and started on your homework.

    Your spot will be held in my design calendar and you’ll receive access to your Website Starter Kit after your contract and initial deposit have been taken care of.

  • As soon as possible.

    I typically book 2-4 weeks ahead so get yourself booked before my design calendar fills up!

    Once your contract and initial deposit are all taken care of, we’ll get you booked in right away, and I’ll send over a Welcome Package along with a link to your Website Starter Kit to help you get all of your content together.

  • Which plan depends on what features and functionality your website will have. I’ll help you pick the best plan for you when we have our Lesson + Launch Call on the final day of your project. Most of my clients end up on the Business Plan. You can take a look at the different Squarespace plans here.

  • You have a couple of options for this scenario:

    OPTION ONE:
    I can definitely add extra pages to your design. Extra pages start at $200 AUD per page depending on what’s involved.

    OPTION TWO:
    You also have the option to add extra pages to your site yourself once your site is handed over to you. During our Lesson + Launch call this is something I’ll show you how to do so that you’ll be able to you make changes to your site yourself as your business grows.

    You’ll also have exclusive access to my Squarespace Video Tutorial Library where you’ll find step by step videos showing you how to update and add new pages, sections, blocks and features to your website!

    It’s very rare that I run into a scenario where a business needs more than 10 pages, but if you happen to fall into this category we’ll make sure we address it before we get started on your design and build 😉.

  • Sure can!

    I only work with one client at a time which means I can give my undivided attention and focus to just that client and their project.

    And, because all of your website content is prepared and organised before we start, 2-3 weeks is 100% doable.

    We’ll discuss timelines and deadlines during our Kick-off Call, you’ll see it mentioned again in your contract and in your Welcome Package.

    It’s crucial that we both stay on target and meet our deadlines because if not it puts future projects and clients at risk of being pushed back which is just not ok. PLUS, you want your business up and running with a new website asap!

    Time is sooo important to all of us, so as long as we respect each others everything will go smoothly.

  • This is a collaborative project, which means we’ll be working closely together on it and you’ll have ample opportunity to give feedback and request revisions. My goal is to make sure you’re THRILLED with what we end up with and we’re both excited to share it with the world.

  • As a small business owner myself I get that this can be a substantial investment for you. If smaller payments would work better for you I’m happy to arrange a schedule of 3 payments instead of 2, please just let me know when you book and I’ll make sure we get you taken care of! 😉

  • I will always be upfront with you about pricing. There is nothing worse than budgeting for something only to find out after it’s done that it’s going to set you back way more than you anticipated.

    I’ll never do that to you.

    My pricing is posted loud and proud on my website, and again in our contract.

    Because we will be building your site on the Squarespace platform, you will be required to pay for a Squarespace plan. There are different plans, and I’ll help you choose the best one for you based on the design and functionality of your website. Most of my clients end up on the Business plan.

    You can check out Squarespace membership pricing here.

    Building a website and creating a brand can cost you as much as you’re willing to spend, and that all depends on you, your goals and of course your bank account.

    Some of the other costs to consider with a project like this might be things like using a professional copywriter for your website content, or hiring a professional photographer to take your brand photos. The costs can really be endless if you want to go all out.

    BUT, that’s totally up to you, and there are always options for every budget, and I’ll do my best to help you create something great within your budget, whatever it may be.

Don’t need an entirely brand new website?
No prob.
