You will choose a tier appropriate to your site requirements. This will depend on the type of site you need (personal, eCommerce, or business), the number of pages the site requires, and any services you want to include, such as SEO, blogs, or image sourcing.

If you require SEO, I can edit or create content according to SEO best practices.

We will have an initial consultation to help you decide on the site functionality and design services you will need, and I will provide a quotation.

We will have a meeting (or you can send an email) to create an overview of your business or project, including what it is about, the vision, mission and goals, and product or service information if relevant.

If possible, you can provide links, brochures or documents to clarify your business or project further.

We will discuss the aesthetic you are aiming for, and you can send me links to sites you like the look of. I am happy to advise on any aspects you are uncertain about.

Based on steps 1 and 2, I will create a web plan for you and we will agree on it before I start work. This will include the site structure, titles for your pages, and a brief synopsis of what you want on each page.

I will create a Squarespace account for you, which you will be able to access at any point throughout the project.

Your site will also need a domain before it can go live. If you already have one, I will need access to it to point it to Squarespace. If you don’t yet have one, ideally, you will purchase one through your Squarespace account. This is much quicker and easier since the domain won’t need to be transferred.

The hosting is included with the Squarespace fee, which depends on the plan you choose (see step 1).

I will need a high-resolution logo, your social media handles, and any branding colours (including colour codes) you may have. If you do not have a logo, I can create one. I can also help you choose a colour scheme.

If you have photos, banner images and/or videos you would like to include on the site, I will ask you to send them over. Otherwise, you can use free or purchased stock photos. If you prefer, I can source these for you.

If you have prewritten content that you wish to put on your site, you will send this to me, and I can edit it if needed. Otherwise, I will write all of the copy or content for the site as part of the package.

If you selected an eCommerce site, I will ask for information on your products or services, pricing, and shipping options. You will need to send photographs for product listings.

If you have requested blogs, I will ask for titles or make suggestions for them.

I will start setting up the pages and structure the site according to the design we agreed on.

I will write, edit and/or add the content (as agreed). I will start to add copy, photographs and blogs according to the web plan.

As I go along, I will add design elements to enhance the aesthetic and functionality of the site in accordance with your vision.

If required, I will construct the eCommerce store and add all product listings.

If required, I will set up the blog page and write and upload any blogs and images to accompany them.

If you require any revisions to be made, we will discuss them and I will implement them. A maximum of two revisions are included with my design services.

I will ensure backend admin is complete, including page titles, descriptions, and page SEO metadata. Everything will be connected up and ready to be made public when you give the go-ahead.

We will book a tutorial session so that I can show you the basics of operating the backend, adding or editing content, and whatever else is relevant to your business or project.

Yes, I can also design and edit websites on platforms like WordPress and Shopify. I primarily use Squarespace, but I have experience with these platforms and can help customise your site to meet your specific needs. Let me know your preference, and we can create something amazing.

The timeline depends on the complexity of your project, the number of pages, and the content readiness.

On average, a straightforward website takes 2–4 weeks, while more complex sites may take longer.

I’ll provide a detailed timeline after discussing your requirements.

Costs vary depending on the scope of the project, the number of pages, and any additional features like e-commerce integration. I offer customised quotes after an initial consultation to ensure the price aligns with your needs and budget. For a ballpark figure, a site design and build is likely to cost between £1,000 and £3,000 depending on the scope of the site and the services you require.

You will also need to factor in the cost of the domain and Squarespace pricing. These are typically billed directly through Squarespace, and the cost depends on the tier of the hosting plan you choose. I’ll help guide you through selecting the right plan for your needs.

Yes, I can create e-commerce websites in Squarespace, and I can work with a Shopify, or WordPress eCommerce site that you already have.

Your site will offer secure payment processing, product management, and user-friendly layouts to enhance the shopping experience.

Yes. All websites I design are fully responsive, meaning they look and function beautifully on desktops, tablets, and mobile devices.

Yes, I can assist with branding elements such as logo design, colour palettes, and typography to ensure your website reflects your brand identity.

A revision includes adjustments to the design, layout, or content based on your feedback. This may involve tweaking colours, fonts, images, or text to ensure the website aligns with your vision. Major changes or additions outside the initial scope may require additional charges, which I’ll always discuss with you beforehand.

I am always happy to advise my past clients and can give you a recap on tutorial elements. I also offer ongoing support packages or pay-as-you-go updates for changes after launch. Whether it’s minor tweaks or larger updates, I’m happy to help keep your website fresh and up-to-date.

Yes, I design websites with basic SEO best practices in mind, including optimised page structure, metadata, and mobile responsiveness. For more advanced SEO services, including optimised content and blogs, this is an add-on service I offer.

Yes, I can integrate various tools and features, such as contact forms, booking systems, social media feeds, and analytics tools, to enhance your website’s functionality. We can discuss your requirements at initial consultation, or these can be added later. Please note that some types of integrations may depend on your pricing plan, but this can be upgraded or downgraded at any time.

I typically require a deposit of half upfront, with the balance due upon project completion. For larger projects, I can offer staged payments.

Yes, I can help set up professional email addresses linked to your domain, but this depends on what is offered with your pricing plan. If you have chosen a plan that doesn’t include professional email, I can direct you to purchase a reasonably priced email for your domain, and help you to set it up.

Yes, I can revamp your existing website to improve its design, functionality, or user experience while retaining or enhancing its core elements. I can do this in Squarespace, WordPress or Shopify.

I use a combination of Canva and Adobe Express for creating stunning graphics and visual elements. For building and hosting websites, I primarily work with Squarespace, which offers a sleek, user-friendly platform ideal for most businesses, but I can also work with WordPress and Shopify.

I can add these as pages if you need them. However, you will need to seek legal advice or use templates tailored to suit your business, as I do not have expertise in legal terminology and legislation.

That’s entirely up to you! If you have existing content, I can incorporate it into the design. Alternatively, if you’d prefer, I can write the content for you to ensure it fits the tone and style of your brand. We will discuss this as part of the initial consultation.
