Custom Squarespace DesignYou know your business. Let’s build the website around it.
A fully custom website process for businesses that need more than implementation — from strategy and structure to visual direction, design and a polished Squarespace build.
More than a website.
A clear direction for your business online.
No template to squeeze into and no formula to follow — the strategy, structure and design all come from your business.
Start a Project →Strategy before screens
Clarify what the site needs to accomplish, who it needs to reach, and how the content should work before design decisions are made.
A design built around your business
No predetermined template or visual formula. The direction grows from your brand, audience, content and goals.
A site made to keep working
Thoughtful Squarespace development, responsive design and a manageable backend mean the finished site works beyond launch.
You don’t need to arrive with the website figured out.
You’re looking for an expert to lead the process — strategy and creative direction, not simply someone to execute instructions. If any of these sound familiar, custom is built for exactly where you are.
You know what your business does.
But translating that into a clear website feels harder.
Your current site has been outgrown.
The business has evolved, but the website hasn’t kept up.
The pieces don’t quite connect.
Brand, content, services or ideas exist — they just need a stronger structure.
Selected WorkPretty should perform. Every project starts with a problem worth solving.
Strategy, design and development. All working together.
Strategy + Structure
Discovery, goals, audience, sitemap, content direction and user flow.
Custom Design
Original visual direction built around your brand, content and business — designed responsively from the start.
Squarespace Development
Native Squarespace where it works best, custom code where it meaningfully improves the design or functionality.
Launch + Handoff
SEO foundations, testing, integrations, launch support and personalized training so you can confidently manage the site afterward.
ScopeProjects typically include up to 6 core pages, with additional pages and functionality scoped as needed.
The ProcessFrom business goals to a website built around them.
Four focused phases, with clear decisions made before design begins and feedback built in all the way through.
01Phase oneDiscover
Understand the business, audience, goals, content and what’s working — or not working — now.
02Phase twoDefine
Shape the site structure, content priorities and creative direction before moving into full design.
03Phase threeDesign + Build
Create the visual system and bring it to life in Squarespace, with feedback built into the process.
04Phase fourRefine + Launch
Test across devices, polish the details, prepare for launch and make sure you’re comfortable managing what comes next.
Keep the site. Fix what’s not working.
If your site is mostly working but something feels off — the layout needs refining, a feature isn’t behaving, the mobile experience needs attention, or you’re simply stuck — Squarespace SOS gives you focused expert help without committing to a full redesign.
Use your session for design refinements, troubleshooting, functionality, content cleanup, optimization, or guidance on what to tackle next.
