Squarespace Website Designer & Developer

Feb 2023 - Present • 3 yrs 7 mos

As a self-employed Squarespace website designer and developer, I work with small businesses, entrepreneurs, coaches, consultants, wellness brands, eCommerce stores, and service providers across a wide range of industries to design, build, and redesign professional Squarespace websites that support their business goals. My work is not limited to one niche or industry, which allows me to bring a broad, adaptable design approach to every project I take on. I manage the complete website design and development process from start to finish. This begins with understanding the client's business, target audience, brand identity, and objectives, then translating those requirements into a clean, modern, and user-friendly Squarespace website. I handle site structure and content planning, page layout design, navigation design, mobile-responsive layout building, and thorough testing before every launch. My work covers custom Squarespace website design, full Squarespace redesigns of underperforming or outdated sites, business website development, landing page design, service pages, portfolio pages, blog setup, contact forms, and booking-integrated pages. Every website I build is designed to work smoothly across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices, since most client traffic comes from mobile visitors. I also apply basic on page SEO structure, including page titles, meta descriptions, and heading structure, so each website is positioned to perform in search from the day it launches. Over more than 5 years of freelance work, I have completed 50+ Squarespace website design and redesign projects, helping small businesses and entrepreneurs establish a professional, functional, and visually consistent online presence built with long-term growth and usability in mind.

Squarespace Migration & Domain Specialist

May 2022 - May 2023 • 1 yr

I helped businesses migrate their existing websites onto Squarespace and managed the full technical setup that comes with that transition, including domain connection, DNS configuration, and account setup. Many clients came to me when they were moving away from another website builder or hosting platform and wanted a smooth, low-risk transition to Squarespace without losing what they already have built. Throughout my freelance career, I have completed 20+full website migrations to Squarespace and connected 200+ domains for client websites. Every migration was handled carefully, with close attention to preserving existing content, page structure, images, and SEO rankings, so businesses do not lose search visibility, traffic, or credibility during the switch. I also made sure the site's technical setup, including domain connection and any necessary redirects, were completed correctly the first time to avoid downtime or broken links. This migration and domain expertise works hand in hand with my Squarespace website design and redesign services, giving clients a single, reliable point of contact for both the technical setup and the design of their Squarespace website from start to finish, rather than needing to hire separate specialists for each part of the process.

Squarespace Custom CSS & Technical Specialist

Apr 2022 - Feb 2023 • 10 mos

Alongside website design, I specialize in custom CSS development and technical problem-solving for Squarespace websites, extending what the platform can do beyond its default design and functionality tools. Many clients came to me after outgrowing Squarespace's built-in styling options or after running into layout and functionality issues that a standard template cannot resolve on its own. My technical work included writing custom CSS to adjust layout, spacing, typography, color schemes, animations, and overall visual presentation, as well as improving mobile responsiveness across different screen sizes. I also handled domain connection, technical account setup, and third-party integrations that expand a Squarespace website's functionality, such as booking systems, forms, and other embedded tools clients need for their business to run smoothly online. Over the course of my freelance work, I have resolved hundreds of custom CSS and technical issues across client Squarespace websites, including layout conflicts, mobile display problems, broken navigation, spacing and alignment errors, and integration issues. I approached every fix with the goal of making it blend naturally into the existing design, rather than looking like an added patch on top of the site. This technical depth allowed me to support both brand-new Squarespace website design projects and ongoing maintenance, troubleshooting, and improvements for existing client websites.
