WEB DESIGN
The last thing we want to do is build your website!
The first thing we want to do is get to know YOU and YOUR business.
Only then will we start to design a website that works for you.
I have been designing websites on the Squarespace platform for many years, and in 2021 I was invited to be a listed Expert. I am now featured on their Marketplace website which has meant that I build websites for clients all around the world for businesses of all kinds! VIEW MY SQUARESPACE PROFILE
WHY SQUARESPACE?

As far as CMS systems go, Squarespace is up there as one of the most easy to use and update than any I’ve worked with before. In 2022 they released Fluid Engine which is a really intuitive way to drag-and-drop elements around the page and independently adjust mobile layouts to make your website look great on smaller devices.
You will be able to update the whole website yourself including text and images plus add blog posts etc… or I, or any web designer, can help in the future.

Well… Where to begin!! As you would expect from modern websites, they are built to be responsive, so that they appear perfectly on all sizes of device. All sites have a secure SSL certificate which gives you the padlock in the website address and there are many built in SEO features to help your website be as Google friendly as possible.
Beyond the fundamentals, Squarespace offers a whole plethora of functionality suited to your business, from scheduling appointments, selling classes, creating membership areas, blogging, email campaigns, portfolios, commerce… the list is long!! Click the link below to see the full feature list.

Squarespace host their own websites; I don’t host your website. Therefore hosting payments are made directly to Squarespace on a monthly or annual basis. They are therefore responsible for the uptime and security of your website, and they are the best in the business at doing so!!
They have a 99.9% uptime with “Denial of Service Protection” to protect against DOS attacks, every site has a SSL as standard and you can include Two-Factor Authentication as an extra layer of security to prevent access to your website. For a full run down of security features, CLICK HERE

WEBSITE
BEER + BURGER STORE in London is a popular restaurant specialising in delicious burgers paired with a vast range of craft beers. With four locations in the City, I was tasked to create a vibrant website that follows the ethos of the company. This also includes the Tock booking system for guests to reserve tables!

SELL YOURSELF
A brochure website is where potential clients go to find out who you are, what you do and how to contact you! This is your online business card or artistic portfolio, where you can show off your talents with well written content, striking images and positive reviews. Make it impossible for the viewer to not contact you!
(By the way, you can contact me HERE)
SELL A PRODUCT OR SERVICE
Create an online shop where you can sell anything, such as physical products, digital downloads or a service. Manage and fulfil your orders with a range of shipping options and payment methods. Schedule appointments with payment right away, or sell subscriptions to build customer loyalty, all backed up with beautiful email campaigns.
SCHEDULE APPOINTMENTS OR CLASSES
Let clients view your availability online and book an appointment with you or attend an upcoming class. Sync your calendar with Google, Outlook, iCloud or Office 365 to stay organised and receive notifications for new bookings. Block out time slots and accept payments or deposits.
CREATE A MEMBERSHIP SITE
If you run virtual classes, workshops, instructional videos, podcasts or anything where you produce high value content, then creating a members only area is a great way to make a regular income. You can charge a one-time payment for clients to have unlimited access or a monthly or annual recurring fee.
