It’s time for an upgrade

Why do you need a new Squarespace website?

  • You’re hesitant to share your current website

    In a city where first impressions are everything, your site looks outdated or doesn't reflect the quality of your business, so you avoid sending people to it.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 Instagram or word of mouth, but in New York City's competitive market, not having a professional online presence means you're invisible to clients who are actively searching for what you offer.

  • 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 in New York City 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 New York City 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 New York City 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.

    Schedule Call, Complete Onboard, Upload to Content Hub
  • 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.

    Design & Feedback
  • 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.
