Website Design
HOW IT WORKS
A home for your offerings.
A garden to tend to.
It’s so much more than just a website. We’re always evolving and our businesses are, too. If you’re looking for a website that’s easy to tinker with, that can evolve alongside you, and that not only expresses what it’s like to be in your presence, but looks and feels like the world you’d like to create—I hear you.
The intention
To co-create a website with you that is purposeful, functional and that communicates you, your vision and your offering(s) with clarity.
You will receive a new website that looks and feels good to you, built just for you on Squarespace…which is super easy to manage and update. And yes, I will show you how! :)
The minimum investment for a custom website by me is $3200 USD (25,000 HKD) for a 5-page website, completed within 30-45 days depending on the scope and my availability. This does not include the cost of an annual Squarespace Business Plan. If you’re looking for more pages or specific integrations, let’s chat.
If you have a favourite Squarespace template and need help making it truly yours, I offer customisation starting at $750 USD (5820 HKD). This includes adjusting colours, writing clear and engaging copy that showcases your offerings, and ensuring everything follows SEO best practices.

The Process
Step 1: Dream Space
Upon receiving the initial 50% deposit, I’ll send you an in-depth client questionnaire, and from there we'll come up with key adjectives and a mission statement. I’ll do some vision boarding to make sure I understand the look and feel of how you’d like to show up.
Step 2: Design & Build Out
Once the brand look & feel is aligned and congruent to you, we move to the design and development phase. I'll work on designing the homepage and send that over to you. If that feels good to you, I’ll build out the rest of the website.
Step 3: Revisions
This container makes space for one round of revisions. This helps me maintain our collaboration timeline. Take your time during the revision process and to gather all ideas and changes. Once I receive all of them, I’ll sit down and make all the revisions in one go
Step 4: Your New Home
Before I hand off the website and transfer ownership, I send the final invoice. The final invoice is the remaining 50% of the overall client project, as well as any additional charges that were taken on during the branding project. Then we’ll have a final training call and I will walk you through your new website!
Communication
I communicate mainly using email and Loom (a video sharing platform) to share updates and screen shares, which allows me the opportunity to collaborate with humans in different time zones; and gives you the opportunity to review and respond to at your own pace.
Chemistry
With every project I put my energy towards, I seek to understand the human(s), their mission, and support them in sharing their voice and vision in the digital space. If my approach and process is something that jives with you, let's jump on a call to see if a collaboration feels right for us both.
Get in touch.
If my approach resonates with you, send me an email, or schedule a free 20-min. chemistry call. :)
Why Squarespace?
-
Squarespace is a self-contained platform that works seamlessly and is fully managed from top to bottom. This means there’s never any need to update software, plugins, or widgets; patch security vulnerabilities; or worry that changing one component might break something else. It also means there’s rarely any need to investigate or pay for third-party apps or plugins since most functionality is native to Squarespace.
-
The Customer Care team at Squarespace is available seven days a week, 24-hours a day, and has won several awards for outstanding customer support.
-
Every Squarespace website is equipped with all the elements needed for a strong SEO strategy. Site descriptions, page titles, custom URLs, search- friendly formatting, and other key elements are all easily managed. Each site also generates a sitemap automatically that helps Google crawl, understand, and rank a website.
-
Mobile traffic now accounts for more than half of all website traffic. With that in mind, it’s critical that websites perform across any device and screen size. Your website includes a unique mobile experience that matches the overall style of the site, so content will look great on every device, every time.
-
Squarespace was designed with the do-it-yourself user in mind, making it easy for you to maintain, update, and monitor websites on your own. Building pages is a matter of dragging and dropping blocks in a page editor, and backend tasks are a snap with clearly labeled menus and panels. You can use the Squarespace suite of mobile apps to track your site performance in real time, long after the project is
-
Squarespace templates are beautifully and thoughtfully designed to incorporate cutting-edge UI/UX best practices, which means your websites will have the best of the best in “form and function” baked right in.
