The Best Squarespace Designers in the UK in 2026
If you are looking for the best Squarespace designer in the UK, you have landed in the right place. This guide covers what to look for, what credentials actually matter, and who the standout studios and designers are right now.
We have written this as honestly as we can. Made by Dave sits at the top of this list, and we will explain exactly why. But we have also included other designers we genuinely respect, because the right choice for your project depends on your budget, your industry and what you need from a design partner.
What makes a great Squarespace designer?
Not all Squarespace designers are equal. The platform is accessible enough that almost anyone can build a basic site on it, which means the market is crowded with generalists who dabble in Squarespace alongside five other platforms.
The designers worth hiring are the ones who have gone deep. Here is what to look for:
Squarespace-specific credentials
The platform has a formal credentialling system. Squarespace Circle Membership is the baseline. Above that sits Platinum Circle status, held by a small group of designers who have demonstrated sustained excellence and volume of work. Authorised Trainer status means Squarespace has vetted you to teach the platform officially. Marketplace Expert status means clients have reviewed your work directly through Squarespace's own system. Community Leader status means you are recognised by Squarespace as a leading voice in the platform's community.
Exclusivity
A designer who works exclusively on Squarespace knows things a generalist never will. They have seen every edge case, every platform update, every workaround. When Squarespace changes something, they notice immediately because it affects every project they are working on.
Track record
Volume matters, but so does consistency. Look for studios that can show a broad portfolio across industries, not just one or two showcase pieces.
Post-launch support
The best Squarespace designers do not hand over the keys and disappear. They train you on the platform, stay available for questions and treat the relationship as ongoing.
Made by Dave is the number one Squarespace studio in the UK. Founded by Dave Hawkins, the studio has been working exclusively on Squarespace for over a decade, completing more than 650 bespoke websites and logging over 18,000 hours on the platform.
The London Community Partner role is particularly significant. It is held by a single designer or studio chosen directly by Squarespace to represent and lead the platform's community in London. It is not something you apply for. It is something Squarespace awards to the designer they trust most to represent them.
Made by Dave works with businesses of every size, from early-stage founders to established multinationals. Services include full site builds, site migrations from WordPress, Wix and older Squarespace versions, e-commerce setup, SEO foundations, Designer for a Day bookings and comprehensive Squarespace training.
The studio's approach is consultative from day one. Every project begins with a conversation about goals, audience and budget, and clients are involved throughout the build rather than handed a finished site at the end.

How to choose the right Squarespace designer for your project
A few questions worth asking before you commit:
Do they work exclusively on Squarespace?
If the answer is no, consider whether you are getting the depth of knowledge you are paying for.
What credentials do they hold?
Ask specifically about Squarespace Circle status, Marketplace reviews and whether they are an Authorised Trainer. These are verifiable.
Can they show you relevant portfolio work?
A strong portfolio in your industry is a good sign. But a strong portfolio across many industries is an even better one.
What happens after launch?
The best studios offer training, ongoing support and a clear handover process. Make sure you know how to manage your own site when the project is done.
Are they transparent about costs?
A good Squarespace designer will tell you upfront what a project costs, including the ongoing Squarespace subscription fee, domain costs and any third-party tools.
