Squarespace
Builds(05)A custom site you can edit yourself.
I build on Squarespace with custom code where it counts, so your site looks one-of-a-kind, stays easy for you to update, and comes with hosting and security handled. You get training, and you can start from a template if you want to launch faster.

What is a custom Squarespace build?
A custom Squarespace build is a website designed and coded to fit your business, built inside Squarespace so you can still log in and change text, photos and hours yourself, with hosting, security and updates included.
Why it matters
You get the look of a custom site without the upkeep of one. There are no plugins to patch or separate hosting to manage, and you don’t have to wait on a developer to change your hours. Custom code means the design isn’t limited to what a template allows.
01 · Custom, but yours
Custom code
Not limited to the template.
Squarespace templates only go so far. I write custom HTML, CSS and a little JavaScript in code blocks inside Squarespace, for things like animated showcases, custom layouts and sections that match your brand exactly, without plugins that slow your site down.

02 · Custom, but yours
Easy editing
Change your hours in two minutes.
Everyday changes are yours to make: hours, photos, prices, team members, blog posts and FAQs, all in Squarespace’s editor. The custom-coded parts are set up so they don’t break when you edit around them, and bigger changes come to me.

Hosting and security
Nothing to patch, nothing to host.
Squarespace includes hosting, an SSL certificate and platform updates, so there are no plugins to patch or servers to look after. I connect your domain, set up spam protection on forms and keep an eye on everything as part of ongoing management.

Training
Learn your own site in an afternoon.
At launch, you get a recorded walkthrough of your own site, short one-page guides for the changes you’ll make most and a live training call. After that, if you get stuck, you ask me.

Templates
Start from a template, or go custom.
My templates are complete Squarespace sites with the same custom code, editing and search basics as a custom build. I set one up with your content and branding for $1,000 plus $250 a month for management and support. If you need something fully custom, I’ll quote it.
Template pricing is current. Timing is an example.

Start From a Template
A custom-looking site, without starting from scratch.
Each template is a complete Squarespace website I designed and built, set up with your content, photos and branding. Every one is $1,000 to set up plus $250 a month for ongoing management and support.
