Why I Design Websites for Small Businesses on Squarespace
If you’re a small business owner, you’ve probably heard a hundred times that you need a website — but what no one tells you is how overwhelming the process can feel. Between branding, tech setup, content writing, mobile optimization, SEO, and “making it look good,” most folks tap out before they even get to the finish line.
That’s where I come in.
I design custom Squarespace websites specifically for small businesses because the platform strikes the perfect balance of design elegance, functionality, and ease-of-use — even after I hand over the keys. I believe your site should not only look good but also work hard for your business, and Squarespace makes that possible without requiring a computer science degree or 8 browser tabs of plugins to manage.
Why Squarespace?
Let’s be honest: you’ve got options. WordPress, Wix, Shopify, Showit… so why Squarespace?
Here’s what sets it apart for the kind of clients I serve:
All-in-one functionality: Hosting, domains, templates, e-commerce, blogging, email marketing — it’s all built in. That means fewer bills, fewer logins, and fewer “wait, what’s a plugin?” moments.
Beautiful, responsive templates: Your site will look polished on every screen. And no, you don’t have to scroll endlessly to find a design that doesn’t look like it’s from 2009.
Easy editing: After I build your site, you can update text, swap images, or add a blog post with a few clicks — no code, no tears.
Great for SEO: Built-in tools like clean URLs, mobile optimization, and fast load times give you a strong foundation to rank locally and organically.
Scalable and secure: Whether you're selling honey at the farmer’s market or launching a multi-state service, Squarespace grows with you. And no need to worry about plugin updates or site hacks — Squarespace handles security and maintenance for you.
