Question 1

How much does a Squarespace website cost for a service business?

Accepted Answer

Squarespace website design for service businesses typically ranges from £2,500 to £10,000+ depending on how much strategy, messaging, and complexity is involved. My packages start at £2,950 for a fast, strategist-led build and £6,950 for a full reset including positioning, copywriting and custom design.

Question 2

What makes your Squarespace websites different?

Accepted Answer

I'm a brand strategist first and a website designer second. That means every site starts with the thinking — clear positioning, structured messaging, a logical flow that helps visitors understand what you do and why they should choose you. Most designers start with how it looks. I start with what it needs to say.

Question 3

How long does it take to build a Squarespace website?

Accepted Answer

Many designers and agencies work on websites over a couple of months. I work in sprints. Start Strong is delivered in one week. Make Moves takes two weeks. Both include my full attention for the duration — no juggling multiple clients, no waiting around.

Question 4

Do I need a logo or brand already?

Accepted Answer

No, not necessarily. Start Strong includes a simple visual identity — wordmark, colours and fonts — as a minimum to build from. Make Moves includes a fuller brand evolution or refinement.

Question 5

Who writes the copy — you or me?

Accepted Answer

If you choose the Make Moves Sprint, I do. If you choose the Start Strong Sprint, you do — but you're not left staring at a blank page. I give you a guided framework to help you write the copy, and I edit anything that doesn't quite work once it's in situ.

Question 6

Why do you work with Squarespace?

Accepted Answer

Because it's simple, reliable, and easy for you to update yourself. It looks professional without endless plugins, and it gives small businesses freedom from constant developer costs. If you want more customisation, I can often code enhancements or recommend add-ons.

Question 7

Can you build this on my existing Squarespace account?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I can either build in your existing Squarespace account, or create it in a new one and transfer it over at launch. We'll decide what's simplest based on what you've already got in place.

Question 8

Do I need to pay a deposit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I invoice 50% on booking to secure your slot, and the final 50% is due before we launch. For some longer projects I reserve the right to charge over 3 payments as opposed to 2.

Question 9

What's not included?

Accepted Answer

Domain registration, hosting fees, third party integrations and stock images are not included in either package. Ongoing content, SEO, or site maintenance beyond launch and the 2 weeks of email support is also not included, unless scope is agreed upfront.

Question 10

What's the first step?

Accepted Answer

Book a free 30-minute call. We'll talk through where you are, what you need and which package makes sense. No hard sell — just a straight conversation. If you're happy, I'll prepare a proposal clearly listing everything included in the price.

Question 11

Do you only work in Squarespace?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It's simple, reliable, and easy for you to update yourself. It looks professional without endless plugins, and it gives small businesses freedom from constant developer costs. If you want more customisation, I can often code enhancements or recommend add-ons.
