SQUARESPACE WEBSITE DESIGN

Are you a new therapist or health practitioner? Build your online credibility with search engines and connect with perfect-match clients.

  • This option is perfect if you're just starting out in your business and are looking to gain a bit of credibility in the online space.

  • Before any design work begins, we work together during a mini workshop session to clarify exactly who your best-fit clients are and develop a strategy to connect with them at every point of their journey once they land on your site.

  • You’ll have my support and guidance as you work through the provided website content planner. Through this process, you’ll learn tips for how to write copy that speaks to your ideal clients not just on your website, but through all your marketing efforts.

  • So your website looks great on all devices, whether it be a desktop, laptop, or mobile device (Google loves this!).

  • Using important design elements correctly so we keep search engines happy.

  • You and I will have a live training session on the day your site goes live. I’ll teach you how to manage your site in the backend so you can make edits to your content with confidence.

  • You have my full support 14 days after we launch should anything come up that you need assistance with on your site and other marketing efforts we’ve strategized on.

*Investment does NOT include applicable taxes, the cost of your Squarespace hosting plan, or third-party applications.

We’ll work together so that you have complete clarity on who your perfect match clients are for your area of expertise and create the visual foundation for your brand identity - colour palette, fonts, and logo suite.

“You have a great deal of professionalism and patience that is unmatched. It is hard to find support for helping professionals as many people doing websites/content work do not truly understand the helping business. You do have a strong understanding of helping professions and/or are willing to ask or research on your own to find out more. That is such a hard thing to find! A true understanding!”

Laura Archer, MSW, Theraplay Therapist

The Process of Working Together

  • During our first 30 minute call, we'll get to know each other a bit better. We'll discuss your project and see whether we'd be a great match to work together. A project proposal will be sent after our call for your review.

  • Congrats! You and I are going to get you from stuck to clarity. I'll introduce you to the two online tools we'll be using to ensure we stay focused and deadlines are met and walk you through your client welcome package as well as go through in detail what you can expect from our collaboration.

  • I‘ll take your website strategy and your brand visuals and create a mock-up of your website. Once this is all approved by you, I'll start building your site in Squarespace.

  • Once your site is ready, I’ll walk you over the back end of your site, teach you exactly how to manage it and record our training session so you can reference it as much as you need to in the future.

You prefer working within a collaborative partnership to get things done right rather than fast.

You view our work as an investment in yourself and the future success of your therapy or health practice.

You can commit at least an hour a week to our project and to answer requests.

You’re ready to release your website from your to-do list and trust in the process of working with an expert.

“You went over and above my expectations. You listened but also gave me constructive feedback for what you felt would be helpful to my site. I truly felt you wanted my site to succeed and you can absolutely be trusted to make the best decisions around wording, aesthetics, functionality, and thinking about the site as an ideal client.”

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I always recommend planning ahead (at least 4-6 weeks in advance) for any type of website design project. This is to avoid feeling rushed and burned out before or during the process. You'd be surprised how much prep and work goes into designing a strategy focused website. You'll need to commit a few hours a week for various items related to your design project and be sure that you're financially capable of making your payments on time so you're not putting any due stress on yourself. I want to be sure that your experience is all around positive and FUN!

  • Depending on the service you've requested, my standard payment plan is 50% deposit is due upon signing to secure your project with us. An invoice will be sent via email with a link to payment options. You will receive a receipt for your payment via email as well. E-Transfer options are available. The remaining 50% is due upon completion.

    Payment plans are available

  • Yes! Just ask and we can work out a plan that works for both of us.

  • While I do offer website audits and SEO edits on the Wordpress, Showit, Wix, and Squrespace platforms, I ONLY build new of re-designed websites for clients using Squarespace.

    I find Squarespace to be the most user-friendly and it's a platform that's constantly evolving to provide more beneficial tools to their users.

    Right before your site is live, we'll have a 1:1 extensive training session so you'll feel confident making updates on your own. This training will be recorded so you can refer back to it in the future.

  • Squarespace has 4 price tiers for their website hosting plans. Plans start at $12 USD/month for a personal plan up to $49 USD/month for an advanced commerce plan. By working with me you'll receive 20% off your first year, when paid for in full (rather than monthly).

  • Yes. I’ll take care of this for you!

  • Like most hosting companies, Squarespace requires a credit card to purchase a hosting plan, domain, and any other additional features you choose to include in your plan with them.

  • The timeline for completion varies for each type of service. Work starts on the date we have agreed on for your project AND once I have all of the information I need from you - completed Brand, Client, and Homepage questionnaires, any professional photos, etc.

    I don’t suggest rushing through a project like this for the sake of having something done - you will end up spending more money in the future to fix and tweek significant details that were initially an oversight.

  • Yes. For all website design projects a contract will need to be signed. I'm always happy to clarify any part of the contract before you sign it if you're not completely clear on the terms laid out. Contracts protect us both.

  • Not yet. It takes time (about 4-6 months). However, your site will be optimized with standard techniques for search engines and over time could get on the first page of Google for search terms related to your business.

  • Yes. Before making the site live on the web, we'll have an extensive training session that's recorded so you can refer to it in the future. You also have 4 weeks of my support after launching your site should you need help.

  • While I do provide an hourly rate for past clients for small site edits, ongoing support is offered on a per-client basis. I recommend a quarterly review for SEO strategy and a 6-12 months review for design and copywriting. I don’t offer retainers but rather charge on a per-project basis. Discounted strategy sessions are available for all our past clients.
