Designing websites

I design websites in Squarespace -  a website building platform and hosting company that’s really user-friendly and easy for clients to manage. The beauty of Squarespace is that it is a totally ‘managed’ platform (unlike WordPress). This means that all updates, maintenance, security and tech stuff is taken care of so you don’t even need to think about it. It also means it’s really easy for you to make updates to your own website without hiring the services of a web designer.

I love creating websites and seeing brands and businesses come to life. I seriously enjoy it, so if it’s something that you dread, or if design is not your forte, then I’d love to help you build a beautiful online home that compliments your unique brand. I’ll provide you with a business presence that will engage with your audience whilst showcasing your products and your blog posts in the best way, and you won’t have wasted hours trying to make your site work as it should.

How it works

  • 01. Client Homework

    Before I begin designing your site I’ll ask you to gather all your content in advance as this ensures a smoother and quicker process. If we are building a new website from scratch, this will mean preparing all your copy and images and saving them to a shared Dropbox folder for me to access. I can help find a copywriter if this is required.

    Already have a website and are looking to refresh the design? Then we can normally skip this step, but it is always worth having a review at this stage to see any updates are required.

  • 02. Create and refine

    This is where I dive in and start designing your site - you probably won’t hear from me for a few days! I’ll be putting together a draft of the website in Squarespace - once I’ve got most of the pages complete I’ll send you an invite to come in to Squarespace and view the work I have done so far.

    Then I’ll ask for your honest feedback on the design and we’ll discuss any refinements you would like me to make. Remember your content doesn’t need to be perfect at this stage as you’ll soon be able to make any content edits yourself.

  • 03. Launch

    Once you’re happy with the web design, I’ll connect your domain to the new website and show you how to upgrade your Squarespace plan from a trial to a paid plan, which will automatically make your site live!

    Now you’re all set and your site is out in the wild, but don’t worry - I won’t be leaving you just yet. I will be sending you a video tutorial (including a personal tour of the back-end of your website) so that you’ll be able to make any edits you need in the future and have complete control over your new online home.

  • “The website is so impressive, people are already giving me amazing feedback on it.

    “My primary objective was always to create a site where people can get to know me so they can find out what I’m about and how I work so that I can connect with them. My new website meets that beyond expectations. It has helped me to communicate not only what I do, but also who I am. I feel I can now build credibility in my industry and create stronger connections with new people I’m meeting”. - Anna Urbaniak

  • I'm delighted with the look and feel of new site and can't wait to unleash my next project on you.

    My new site is more streamlined, more visually appealing and less cluttered. It's a much more user friendly experience for visitors to the site. It's also inspired me to shake up other areas of my business, so it’s having a positive trickle down effect.

Web Design frequently asked questions

  • Ideally, yes. The design of your site will be an informed and intelligent extension of your brand identity, so it’s important that what you have now doesn’t just feel right for your brand but gives us all the tools we need to take it forward with confidence.

  • You’ll need a website plan/structure, showing your planned content placement and your finalised content, including copy and images. It’s not impossible to start designing without your content, but it tends to make the process longer, messier, and more expensive so it’s best to get your elements as finalised as you possibly can from the start.

  • I design websites in Squarespace - a website building platform and hosting company that’s really user-friendly and easy for clients to manage. The beauty of Squarespace is that it is a totally ‘managed’ platform (unlike WordPress).

It also means it’s really easy for you to make updates to your own website without hiring the services of a web designer.

  • Maybe your site is already on Wordpress and you want to keep it there, or maybe you just need Wordpress and that’s ok. I can work with a Wordpress developer to design and build your site. I’ll supply the designs which the developer will use to build it - we both play to our strengths to give you the best result.

  • I don’t offer a website ‘package’ because no two projects are ever the same, and so much difference is driven by a website’s content and functionality. Instead, after we’ve chatted about what you need I set out all deliverables clearly in a proposal so you’ll know exactly what you’re getting, and for how much. Your project can potentially include anything from just one single homepage design, to the design of every vital page of your site.

  • As long as you have a strong brand identity that you feel captures your brand values with distinction, we can go on to create as many or as few web pages as you would like. The more pages you have designed, the more control and consistency you’ll have over your visitors’ online experience. Simple.
