Dan Cohen:
Website Designer
in New York City

Squarespace is a modern, user-friendly website-building platform perfect for NYC businesses looking to make a strong first impression. Its intuitive drag-and-drop Fluid Engine interface, visually appealing designs, reliable domain hosting, and built in SEO tools make it ideal for fast-paced NYC industries that need a polished, professional web presence without the maintenance headaches.

My job is to give you the best client experience and build you a website that exceeds your expectations. Not only will you receive a professional, well-crafted website unique to your business and aligned to your brand, but you’ll also be getting a functional, user-friendly site that drives traffic and boosts engagement.

With my expertise and Squarespace’s built-in tools, advanced features, intuitive interface, mobile responsiveness, and SEO tools, I will deliver a website that serves as a strong foundation for your business’ growth.

There are 3 main stages in a typical NYC web design project:

1. The Onboard:
   First, you’ll book a discovery call so we can discuss your project and how I can help you. Following the call, I’ll provide a proposal document detailing the project scope, timeline, deliverables, pricing, and payment terms.

2. The Design:
   Once the proposal is accepted, 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.

3. The Launch:
   When you’re happy with the design, we’ll launch your new website. You’ll receive a comprehensive recorded training on how to use the site, along with 30 days of free email support to answer any post-launch questions.

As a Squarespace Circle Gold Partner, I am part of an exclusive community of experienced Squarespace website designers. This grants me several perks that pass through to my clients, including discounts on annual website subscriptions, extended website trial periods, and access to advanced web design resources.

Yes—while I'm based in NYC, I work with businesses across the country. That said, I love collaborating with fellow New Yorkers and embracing the fast-paced, competitive energy that drives local brands.

I've partnered with a variety of NYC-based businesses—from digital marketing agencies and design studios to laundromats and real estate management firms. Whether you're a startup, nonprofit, or established company, I create Squarespace websites tailored to your specific brand and goals.

If you're located in New York City, I’m happy to meet in person when it makes sense for the project. Most meetings are virtual to keep things efficient, but I’m always open to grabbing a coffee or scheduling a collaborative session.

Of course! I will migrate your existing content—from platforms like WordPress or Wix—into a new, fully customized Squarespace website that better reflects your brand and serves your audience in NYC and beyond.

Additionally, I will help connect or transfer your existing domain to Squarespace, or walk you through setting up a new domain which would be included with your new Squarespace subscription.

Absolutely. At the end of every project, I provide a comprehensive recorded training that is specific to my clients’ new Squarespace website—so you can confidently make updates and manage the site on your own. Plus, I offer 30 days of free post-launch support to make sure everything is running smoothly and answer any post-launch questions you may have.

Typically, a Squarespace web design project ranges around 3-4 weeks from start to finish. Timelines may vary based on scope, website size, and turnaround time for asset collection and feedback, though I always aim to keep the process streamlined to match the urgency and standards of busy NYC businesses.

Hiring a professional Squarespace web designer in New York City can range from $1,000 to $5,000+, depending on the size and complexity of the project, the number of features needed, and the amount of customization requested. Partnering with an experienced designer ensures high-quality designs, technical expertise, and a streamlined process tailored to your business goals.

Book a discovery call so we can discuss your specific requirements and create a project proposal that works for you.

While my project fee is a one-time payment, Squarespace requires an active subscription to keep your website live. I always recommend choosing the annual billing option over monthly payments, as it offers significant cost savings.

Squarespace has several subscription plan options to choose from, each offering different levels of features. The choice of plan will depend on the scope of the project and your goals for the website.

• Of these options, the two most common subscription plans are the Basic Plan ($153.60 for the first year with my 20% Circle Partner discount, then $192/year thereafter) and the Core Plan ($220.80 for the first year with my 20% Circle Partner discount, then $276/year thereafter).

If you don’t already own a domain name, all Squarespace annual plans include one free domain registration for the first year. After that, the domain renewal typically costs around $20/year.
