It’s time for an upgrade
Why do you need a new Squarespace website?
-
You’re hesitant to share your current website
On Long Island, reputation is everything. You feel your site looks outdated or doesn't reflect the quality of your business, so you avoid sending people to it.
-
You don't have any website at all
You're relying on referrals or social media, but clients are searching online before they decide to reach out. Without a professional website, you're not even in the conversation.
-
Your website platform is difficult to manage
When your current platform is overly complex and requires a developer for every little change, the costs add up fast. You're running a business and don't have time for all that nonsense.
-
Your site isn't converting visitors
People are landing on your site but not reaching out. The Long Island market is competitive, and a website that doesn't communicate your value or actively guide visitors toward taking action is costing you real business.
-
You're not ranking on Google or AI search
Your website isn’t optimized for local Long Island SEO on Google or AI search, so when people search for your services, you’re not showing up. Your competitors are capturing those leads instead.
-
Your current website doesn't feel premium
You built the site yourself or purchased a basic template to launch something quickly. It feels DIY, doesn’t reflect your brand, and is falling behind other sites in your industry.

The Process
From Discovery Call to Website Launch
-
The <strong>Onboard</strong>
During our discovery call, we will discuss the project and your goals for the website. After the call, I’ll provide a detailed proposal containing the project scope, timeline, deliverables, pricing, and payment terms. Once the proposal is accepted, the planning and design phase will officially begin.

-
The <strong>Design</strong>
This phase will take place in stages, during which your feedback will be collected throughout to confirm the design is exactly how you like it. We will be using Workflow.design, a click-and-comment feedback tool, to more efficiently keep track of updates and streamline the feedback process for a highly collaborative approach.

-
The <strong>Launch</strong>
When you’re happy with the design, we’ll launch your new website. To ensure a smooth transition, I’ll provide training videos specific to your site within 15 days from project completion. Additionally, you’ll receive 30 days of free email support to address any post-launch questions.

Every project follows three clear phases:
The Onboard: We kick things off with a free discovery call to talk through your business, your goals, and your vision for the site. From there, I'll send over a detailed proposal covering scope, timeline, deliverables, and pricing.
The Design: Once the proposal is accepted and initial deposit paid, the project will officially begin. The design phase will take place in stages, during which your feedback will be collected throughout to ensure the design is exactly how you like it.
The Launch: When you’re happy with the design, we’ll launch your new website. You’ll also receive recorded training videos about how to use your specific site, along with 30 days of free email support to answer any post-launch questions.

I've worked with Long Island businesses across a wide range of industries, including real estate agencies in Nassau and luxury beauty salons in Suffolk. Whether you're a solo professional, a family-owned business, or an established local brand, I'll build a Squarespace website tailored to your specific goals and Long Island audience.
-
Of course! If your current site is on WordPress, Wix, or another platform, I'll handle the full migration, transferring your content, building a fresh custom design, setting up integrations, connecting your domain, and providing training videos so you're confident managing the new site on your own. Book a discovery call, and let’s discuss your specific needs.
-
Absolutely. Squarespace is built for business owners, so managing your site after launch is simple and intuitive with the platform’s user-friendly interface. You'll be able to easily update content, add pages, swap out images, and more. And to ensure a smooth handover, I'll provide personalized training videos at the end of the project, plus 30 days of free email support for any post-launch questions you may have.
-
Totally understandable! Trust me, I know firsthand that running a business is very time-consuming. Once our initial project is complete, I’m available for ongoing site maintenance, updates, and edits at my hourly rate or through a retainer, depending on your needs. This will ensure you have continued support after launch. Happy to discuss options.
-
Most projects are completed within 2 to 4 weeks from onboard to launch, though exact timelines depend on the scope of the project, how readily available the website content is, and how quickly feedback is provided at each stage. Having your written copy, images, and brand guidelines ready from the start will certainly keep the project moving forward efficiently.
-
Hiring a professional Squarespace web designer on Long Island can range from $1,500 to $10,000+, depending on the size and complexity of the project, the number of features requested, and the level of customization involved. Partnering with an experienced designer ensures high-quality designs, technical expertise, and a streamlined process tailored to your business goals.

A 50% deposit will be required to start the project and secure a spot in my calendar. When the project is complete and you are happy with your website, the remaining 50% balance will be due prior to website handover.
-
While my project fee is a one-time payment, Squarespace requires an active subscription to launch and keep your website live. The choice of plan will depend on the scope and goals for the website. Of these options, the most common subscription plan is the annual Core (Business) Plan. Squarespace also offers additional subscription options for e-commerce, scheduling, and email campaigns. If you don't yet have a domain, all annual Squarespace plans include one free domain for the first year. After that, there is a yearly domain renewal cost. Schedule a free intro call, and I’ll help you choose the right plan for your business.
-
Ideally, you’ll have your brand guidelines and written copy for the site ready before we begin the project. However, if you don’t have everything yet, that’s completely fine! We can still connect, discuss the project, and start planning. And if you need additional support, I’m happy to connect you with a trusted branding or copywriting specialist.

While all platforms offer solid website-building tools, Squarespace is often the better choice for those seeking modern design, ease of use, and built-in SEO / AIO features.
Ease of Use: Squarespace’s Fluid Engine offers a more polished, intuitive interface that allows for a more user-friendly editing experience. Managing your site becomes simple, helping you avoid the long-term recurring cost of hiring someone for regular updates.
Design Quality: Squarespace stands out for its modern, cohesive, and professionally designed templates that require little to no additional code.
Responsive Layouts: Squarespace’s responsive designs adjust seamlessly across devices, delivering a consistent viewing experience for site visitors.
SEO / AIO Tools: Squarespace includes powerful built-in SEO / AIO features to help optimize your site's visibility in Google and AI search results.
All-in-One Functionality: Key features like blogging, e-commerce, scheduling, and email campaigns are built into the Squarespace platform, with no need to install separate apps. This allows you to manage everything in one place.
Reliable Support: Squarespace provides outstanding customer support and an extensive resource hub with helpful guides and tutorials.
Although Wix and WordPress offer more layout flexibility and plugin options, Squarespace excels in its user-friendly interface, visually impressive designs, and powerful SEO tools for boosting search result rankings. Its all-in-one platform is ideal for users who want a polished, professional website that’s easy to manage without the complexity, making it a smart choice for busy New York City business owners.
