Squarespace sites that Google and AI can read
Why photo-only pages stay invisible, what we write and name, and how Squarespace compares with Wix.
Read the video transcript
Ask an AI assistant for an interior designer in Altrincham. It names Competitor A and Competitor B, who describe their projects. A portfolio of bare photos gives it nothing to say.
Portfolio pages are often twenty photos and one line. Files named by the camera. A title that's only the studio name. Huge images slowing phones. So we write a brief for every project, name each image properly, add the service and place to the title, and resize everything.
Squarespace or Wix? Squarespace is refined and gallery-led, with Acuity for bookings. Wix is more flexible, and easier to break. We build on both.
Every build includes brand-led design, portfolio pages, enquiry forms, Squarespace SEO and structured data. And the site is transferred to your name before launch.
A custom Squarespace site starts from £995 for up to five pages. Ten pages is £1,495. No VAT to add.

What you get
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 it suits
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.
What you get
What our Squarespace website design includes
A complete site, styled for your brand and ready for search on launch day.
Squarespace SEO
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 written brief for every projectA short written brief for each project: what was asked for, where, and how it turned out.
- Image names that describe the workDescriptive file names and alt text added before upload.
- Titles that name the service and placeTitles that name the service and place, such as interior design in Altrincham.
- Images sized for phonesImages exported at sensible sizes so pages load quickly on phones.
Structured data goes in through code injection, and Squarespace only offers code injection on its Core, Plus and Advanced plans. So we’ll check your plan before we build, not after.
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.
Compare
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 | £995 | £995 |
We build on both. Read our Wix website design page if drag-and-drop freedom matters more to you than polish.
Why it matters
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.
- Portfolio review
We go through your work together and choose the projects that should lead, based on the clients you want more of.
- Page plan and style
Services, project pages and a type and colour system agreed before any page is built.
- Build on Squarespace 7.1
Pages, galleries, forms and any booking add-on built on a trial site you can preview at any point.
- Words for every project
Short briefs written with you, so each project page says what was done, where and for whom.
- Transfer and launch
Ownership moved to you, domain connected and Search Console verified, with a training video on Business builds.

Your Squarespace plan
What you’ll pay Squarespace each month
Your plan is billed by Squarespace, not by us, and it includes your hosting. These are the UK prices when you pay annually, as listed on . Paying month by month costs more.
| Plan | A month, paid annually | Code injection | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | £12 | No | A simple site with no tracking scripts or widgets |
| Core | £17 | Yes | Most studios and service businesses |
| Plus | £29 | Yes | Busier shops, courses and member areas |
| Advanced | £79 | Yes | High-volume shops |
Squarespace changes its prices and runs offers, so check Squarespace’s pricing page before you sign up. Your domain’s free for the first year on an annual plan. Email Campaigns, Scheduling and Member Areas are charged on top. We’ll tell you which plan you need in your quote, and most studios won’t need more than Core.
Before you sign
How to choose a Squarespace web designer
What a Squarespace site costs elsewhere, and the warning signs to walk away from. Prices are from five UK Squarespace designers that publish them, checked on . Some quote their prices plus VAT. For other platforms, read our UK website cost guide.
| Option | What you’d pay | Ask before you sign |
|---|---|---|
| Doing it yourself | From £12 a month for the plan, plus your time | Will each page carry enough words for Google to read? |
| Specialist Squarespace designer | £995 to £2,500 for a small site | Is VAT on top? How many pages and design rounds are included? |
| Bespoke or larger build | £4,000 and more | Who’ll make changes after launch, and at what rate? |
| Renozer | £995 for up to five pages, £1,495 for up to ten, fixed | No VAT to add. A deposit to start, the balance before launch. |
Red flags
Walk away if you see these
Two of them come straight from Squarespace’s and Google’s own help pages. Already on Squarespace and it isn’t working? See website redesign.
- A site built in the designer’s own account with no plan to hand it over. Ownership should move to you before launch, with billing in your name.
- Your domain registered in the designer’s name. It should be in yours, so you can move whenever you like.
- Structured data or tracking promised on the Basic plan. Squarespace’s own help centre says code injection is available on Core, Plus and Advanced, not Basic.
- A guaranteed top spot on Google. Google’s own advice is that no one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google.
- A quote with no page count, no rounds of design changes and no support period. You can’t compare what isn’t written down.
- No word on which Squarespace plan you’ll need. It’s a cost you’ll pay every year, so it belongs in the quote.
Changing platform
Moving to or from Squarespace
Changing platform is a job for a plan, not a weekend.
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.
Because your shop or content has grown? We plan the move to Shopify or WordPress the same way, with a full redirect map.
Start with a free audit or request a quote. We design for studios across Greater Manchester, including Altrincham and Hale and Salford.
