Welcome to our website.
What you get from a Squarespace web designer
Design that shows your work, and set-up that gets it found.
A Squarespace web designer turns your portfolio, services and booking process into a site that looks considered and is easy for you to keep current. With us, that also means project pages written so search engines and AI assistants understand them.
Creative businesses tend to have two problems at once. The work is strong but the site does not show it in the right order, and the pages that do exist are mostly images, so they never appear in search. We fix both. Your best projects lead, each one gets a short description of the brief, the place and the result, and every page ends with a clear way to book or enquire.

Who Squarespace suits best
It rewards businesses that sell on taste and trust.
Squarespace is at its best when the visual impression does the selling. Photographers, wedding suppliers, interior designers, architects, florists, therapists, coaches and independent boutiques with a small range all suit it well. Its galleries are elegant out of the box, its typography is easy to keep consistent, and Acuity handles consultations without bolting on another tool.
- Studios and photographers with galleries, client proofing and enquiry forms
- Interior designers and architects showing projects room by room
- Therapists and coaches taking paid sessions through Acuity
- Small boutiques selling a curated range with Squarespace Commerce
If you plan a catalogue of hundreds of products, Shopify website design is the stronger choice. If you want to publish a lot of advice content with fine control, look at WordPress.
What our Squarespace website design includes
A complete site, styled for your brand and ready for search on launch day.
Squarespace SEO: getting a portfolio found
Beautiful pages that search engines cannot read are invisible.
Squarespace sites rarely fail on technology. They fail because the content is almost all pictures. A typical portfolio page has twenty images called IMG_4821.jpg and a single line of text, so Google cannot work out that it shows a kitchen in Didsbury or a wedding at a venue in Cheshire. AI assistants have even less to go on.
A short written brief for each project: what was asked for, where, and how it turned out.
Descriptive file names and alt text added before upload.
Titles that name the service and place, such as interior design in Altrincham.
Images exported at sensible sizes so pages load quickly on phones.
For studios that rely on local clients, local SEO and a well-kept Google Business Profile matter as much as the site itself. If you want to be the studio ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews suggests, see AI Search Optimisation.
Squarespace vs Wix: which suits your business?
Both are hosted, both are easy to edit. The difference is in what they are best at.
| Squarespace | Wix | |
|---|---|---|
| Design style | Refined, gallery-led, consistent | Very flexible, easier to break |
| Booking tool | Acuity Scheduling | Wix Bookings |
| Best for | Studios, creatives, consultants | Busy owner-run services |
| Editing freedom | Structured, harder to make messy | Almost anything can move |
| Our starting price | £1,495 | £1,495 |
We build on both. Read our Wix website design page if drag-and-drop freedom matters more to you than polish.
Why many Squarespace sites look the same
The template is not the problem. Stopping at the template is.
A page plan built from your services and best projects before any styling.
One type system and one button style, set in the site styles so it stays tidy.
Every project page ends with a booking or enquiry prompt that fits the work shown.
Ownership transferred to you before launch, with billing in your name.
How a Squarespace project runs
Five stages from first call to launch, usually three to six weeks.

Services, project pages and a type and colour system agreed before any page is built.
- Build on Squarespace 7.1
Pages, galleries, Acuity and forms built on a trial site you can preview at any point.

Short briefs written with you, so each project page says what was done, where and for whom.

Ownership moved to you, domain connected, Search Console verified and your walkthrough recorded.

Moving to or from Squarespace
Changing platform is a job for a plan, not a weekend.
Coming to Squarespace from an old WordPress or Wix site? We rebuild the pages that earn enquiries, retire the ones that do not and redirect every old address, so the move does not cost you rankings. That is covered by our website redesign service.
Leaving Squarespace because your shop or content has grown? We plan the move to Shopify or WordPress the same way, with a full redirect map.
Not sure which applies? Start with a free audit or request a quote. We design for studios across Greater Manchester, including Altrincham and Hale and Salford.
