Squarespace Website Design for Women Who Want to Show Up Differently

Your website isn’t just a container for your business — it’s your digital presence. It should reflect clarity, showcase the depth of your work, and guide people in with ease.

Whether you’re starting fresh or evolving aspects that no longer fit, I design Squarespace websites that are clean, intuitive, and built with intention — making your online space finally feel like home.

What You’ll Walk Away With:

  • A website that reflects you — grounded, cohesive, and clear.

  • A layout that emphasizes clarity and intention, not just superficial design.

  • A site that’s easy to update and simple for users to navigate.

  • Mobile-ready, responsive design that functions beautifully on every device.

  • A calm confidence in your online presence—fully aligned, with no second-guessing.

Why It Matters

Your website is often the first place people meet your work. If it feels unclear or disconnected, it can dilute the power of what you offer.

A well-designed site doesn’t just look good — it creates trust. It brings your message into focus, helps the right people find you, and makes it easier to show up with confidence and consistency.

This is about more than just being online.
It’s about being understood.

FAQs

  • Every website package is designed to provide you with a comprehensive and thoughtful online presence.

    You’ll receive:

    • Creative direction for imagery — whether you're using brand photography or stock, I'll guide the visual tone and handle resizing and optimizing each image so your site looks cohesive and professional.

    • SEO guidance — support with writing page titles, descriptions, and headers so your site speaks clearly to both search engines and your ideal clients.

    • Domain setup — I’ll handle connecting your domain so your site is live and working properly, without the tech stress.

    • Essential pages — including legal pages (like privacy + terms), a site credits page, and a custom link-in-bio page for your social profile.

    • Optional features — like online booking setup and a newsletter sign-up form to grow your list.

    • Post-launch support — a video tutorial, a built-in help page inside your site, and one week of email support after launch to help you feel confident moving forward.

    This process is designed to make sure you feel supported, equipped, and fully at home in your new website.

  • That depends on where you are in your business. If you're starting out, you can get by with something simple — but even then, having a thoughtful logo, color palette, and type choices can make a huge difference. It helps you look put-together and trustworthy from the beginning.

    If you've been in business for a while and things feel scattered or inconsistent, then yes, professional branding can help you realign and present yourself in a way that reflects your current vision and values.

    It’s not about having something fancy. It’s about having something true to you — and making sure it connects with the people you’re trying to reach.

    If that sounds like what you need, take a look at my services and let’s get you aligned.

  • I'm not just a designer—I'm also a trained photographer, so I understand the impact that great brand photography can have. High-quality images are crucial to making your website stand out and instantly conveying the essence of your brand.

    You can provide professional photography, collaborate with me on photography direction, work with one of my photographers if you’re near the Bay Area, or we can discuss stock imagery.

  • Don’t worry — you won’t be left staring at a blank Google Doc. Before we begin, you’ll fill out my Clarity Questionnaire, which is designed to help you shape your messaging. I pull from that to guide the layout and often use your words directly, especially if they sound like you.

    That said, if writing really isn’t your thing or you want to ensure your site is SEO-friendly, you’re welcome to hire a copywriter. I’m happy to recommend someone if needed.

  • We start with an intro chat, during which I’ll ask about your unique business needs, from branding to photography to your website. After our chat, you’ll receive a proposal with different options.

    For design inquiries, please fill out this form.

  • Absolutely! I’ll provide you with guidance and resources to help you manage and update your site independently.

  • Each package begins with brand design — whether that’s a streamlined foundation or a full identity system. From there, you can expand into website design, brand photography direction, or a full transformation that brings it all together.

    Most clients choose a complete brand + website package, but we’ll customize the scope to fit your goals. Payment plans are always available.
