Custom Squarespace Website Design & Build
We build websites. It sounds simple – and it is. If you've got an idea we'll work with you to make it happen, or if you need inspiration we'll spark ideas and craft these for you.
We use Squarespace for all of our full site builds. Using this platform means you'll be able to track the development of your website through every stage of the project. Browse and choose flexible designs, review and critique our work, and practise managing your site before it goes live. No previous experience with Squarespace? We'll show you how to use the platform collaboratively with our team so you're ready to go when your site launches.
Why We Build Directly on Squarespace
We make building websites simple, but we also make sure it's enjoyable. Unlike some web design agencies that work with complex platforms, we build directly onto Squarespace. Designed to be visual, intuitive and accessible, the platform allows us to work in an agile way with our clients. We design and build, they offer feedback, we edit. Cutting out complex and cumbersome 'middle man' platforms makes this process quick and collaborative and gives teams experience of working with Squarespace before site launch.
There's a reason we chose Squarespace over WordPress, Wix, and all the rest. We tried them. We've migrated clients off them. And we kept coming back to Squarespace because it lets us focus on what actually matters: making something that looks brilliant and works properly. No plugin conflicts, no security patches at 11pm on a Friday, no servers to manage. Just a solid platform that does the heavy lifting so we can concentrate on design.
How a Project Works with Us
Every project starts with a conversation – usually over Zoom, sometimes over coffee if you're London-based. We want to understand your business, your audience, and what you actually want your website to do. Not what you think a website should do. What yours needs to do.
From there, we'll map out a structure, agree on a design direction, and start building. You'll have full visibility throughout. We don't disappear for six weeks and come back with a big reveal. You'll see progress as it happens, give feedback in real time, and have a proper say in how things shape up. By the time we're done, you'll already know your way around the site because you've been part of the process from day one.
We've lost count of how many clients have told us this was the bit they weren't expecting – that building a website could actually be enjoyable. We'll take that.
What You Get
Our full site builds cover everything you need to go live with confidence. Bespoke design and layout, mobile optimisation, SEO foundations, browser icon setup, domain connection, Google Analytics and Search Console integration, image optimisation, and a pre-launch checklist that catches the things most people miss.
We build with accessibility in mind too. Proper heading structure, alt text, colour contrast, keyboard navigation – the stuff that makes your site usable by everyone. It's not a box-ticking exercise for us. It matters, and it makes your site better.
If your project needs something beyond the standard Squarespace toolkit – custom code, third-party integrations, membership platforms like MemberSpace – we've got that covered as well. We regularly push Squarespace further with CSS and JavaScript to create things the platform doesn't do out of the box.
Site Redesign & Migration
In addition to full site builds we also offer site redesign and site migration. You might be looking to move from WordPress or Wix, or upgrading from Squarespace version 7.0 to 7.1. Alternatively, you might be unfamiliar with this web design lingo but know that your old site has seen better days!
We've done a lot of migrations. WordPress to Squarespace. Wix to Squarespace. Squarespace 7.0 to 7.1. Each one has its own quirks, and we've developed a tried-and-tested method for handling them. We work hard behind-the-scenes to deliver a 'copy and paste' effect which is simple on the surface but relies on the 'secret sauce' in our approach.
Choose to retain all of the elements of your old site or add new features as part of the migration. We'll deliver this at speed and on a platform that'll allow your site to function better and serve your business more effectively. And honestly, most clients are surprised at how painless it is. The dread is always worse than the reality.
Who This Is For
Small businesses, freelancers, creatives, charities, membership organisations, and growing brands who want a professional online presence without the complexity. We've built sites for dog wellness clubs, nutrition companies, education consultancies, creative agencies, and everything in between. If you need a website that works as hard as you do, we're your team.
We work with clients across the UK and internationally. Most of our collaboration happens over Zoom and email, so location is never a barrier. Some of our best projects have been with people we've never met in person.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Typically 4 to 8 weeks from kickoff to launch. Some smaller sites are quicker, some larger ones take longer. We'll give you a clear timeline at the start so there are no surprises.
-
You know your business best, so ideally yes. But we get it – writing copy is hard and finding the right images takes time. If you need help with copywriting, photography, or other assets, we can connect you with our network of creative partners. We'll guide you through the process either way.
-
That's the whole point. Squarespace is designed to be manageable by non-technical people, and we make sure you're confident with it before we hand things over. We also offer training if you want a deeper walkthrough.
-
Absolutely. We migrate sites from WordPress, Wix, Shopify, and older versions of Squarespace on a regular basis. We'll handle the transition and make sure nothing important gets lost along the way.
-
Every project is different, so we quote based on your specific requirements. Get in touch and we'll have a no-obligation chat about what you need.

It will. Every site we build is responsive and tested across devices. Squarespace handles much of this automatically, and we fine-tune the details to make sure nothing looks off on smaller screens.
-
We do. Training, support packages, one-off help – whatever you need. A lot of our clients come back months or years later, and we're always happy to pick things up.
