Once you've submitted your enquiry, we’ll arrange a phone call to discuss your project in more detail. This is an opportunity for us to find out more about each other and for me to understand your business better, along with your ambitions for your site. It’s also a chance for you to ask me any questions.
In-depth questionnaire
If you decide to proceed, I'll send you an in-depth questionnaire where you can tell us more about your organisation, your customers, and your website requirements. Your answers will help to inform both the look and feel of the site and any technical aspects.
One-to-one build slot
You'll be my only client during your build slot, so your project will have my full attention and I'll be available to respond to any queries you might have.
2-hour live Squarespace training/website handover
Once your website is published, we'll have a 2-hour live training/handover session via screenshare, where I will show you around Squarespace and get you comfortable editing and updating your website yourself.
FAQs
+ Why do you use Squarespace?
We choose to build sites using Squarespace because we can use their beautiful templates to create stunning and highly functional sites without lots of complicated coding work. This means we can create sites quickly at very competitive prices.
+ Do you design sites in WordPress too?
Not anymore. We love WordPress, and used to offer WordPress websites. It’s a highly customisable, powerful and flexible platform, perfect for individuals and companies looking for full control and customisation over every aspect of their site. But increasingly our customers have been drawn to our Squarespace packages because they like its flexibility, ease of use and stunning design. Best of all there are no monthly maintenance and security updates as Squarespace takes care of all of this behind the scenes. And with a million other things to think about our clients are grateful we aren’t adding to the list.
The truth is WordPress and Squarespace both have their strengths and weaknesses. Overall, we think Squarespace provides the functionality that most of our clients need: it’s easy to use; there’s less maintenance and lower costs in the long run. They also get dedicated 24/7 technical support. For us it means we can create sites quickly at very competitive prices. And when an hour of coding in WordPress turns into seconds in Squarespace with just a few clicks of the mouse, it’s hard to resist.
+ Will you write my website content?
None of our packages include copywriting as standard, but we’re happy to write your content for you. Just tell us what you need and we’ll add this into your quote. All we ask is that any copywriting work is scheduled in and completed before our web design and build start date, as our package timelines are based on having everything we need before we start, and we hate to miss a deadline!
+ Do you offer logo/brand design?
Yes, we offer a range of logo and brand design options from basic in-house logo design using template design software, to a complete visual identity undertaken by one of our associate graphic designers incorporating logo, colours, fonts, imagery, style guide document, and logo set in different colour and file formats. Basic in-house logo design can most likely be completed within any of our package timelines. If you require our graphic designer to produce your logo or broader visual identity, then this work will need to be scheduled in and completed ahead of the start date.
+ Will you take photos for my website?
It’s probably best to talk to us about this as it really depends on what you need. We can take photos for you, or you might prefer to hire a professional photographer (we can make recommendations) or select some high-quality stock photos to use on your website. Again, all we ask is that any photography work is scheduled in and completed before our web design and build start date, as our package timelines are based on having everything we need from the off.
+ Do I need to have my content and images ready before the project starts?
Yes please. Copy, images and branding need to be ready to go by the start date.
+ How long will my project take?
We offer a 3-day, 1-week or 2-week website packages depending on your requirements.
+ I need a website fast. Do you offer fast timelines?
Yes! Take your pick from our 3-day, 1-week or 2-week packages.
+ Can you really turn around a website in 2 weeks or less?
Yes, because we’ve changed our model from working with multiple clients, to working one-on-one, and we absolutely love it. The short timeline focuses minds and means we’re able to move through the build so much faster. We both sign up to the project during this time, making sure we respond to each other's emails quickly and chat on the phone if needed. Our clients have our undivided attention. And as a result, we build a solid relationship, and a killer website. Find out more about the process.
+ How does payment work?
A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure a web design and build slot. The final 50% is due just before the site is made live, after which full ownership of the site will be transferred to you.
+ Do I need to purchase a Squarespace subscription before you begin the design process?
No. Definitely don’t do this as we can give you 20% off your first year’s subscription.

We wanted a fresher look to our website than our competitors and we certainly got it. We really appreciated the fact that Anne was able to challenge some of our not so good ideas rather than just deliver what we asked for. The website is all the better for it. Anne is creative, responsive and calm which made the process very painless. Would highly recommend.
