Question 1

Why Squarespace?

Accepted Answer

Squarespace is the holy grail for anyone who wants a beautiful, professional website without drowning in code. It's perfect for creatives, service providers, small biz owners, you name it. With built-in features like blogging, emails, e-commerce, and SEO tools, plus an intuitive drag-and-drop editor, it's basically your digital BFF. I design exclusively with Squarespace because it just works - visually, functionally, and strategically. It's also an all-in-one platform, so it will do everything you need it to do, from managing domains and hosting to setting up a mailing list and selling, which is perfect for business owners that want to keep things as simple and straightforward as possible.

Question 2

How much does Squarespace cost?

Accepted Answer

Squarespace pricing is actually really reasonable, especially when you consider everything that comes with it. Plans typically start around £12/month (billed annually) for a Personal site, and go up to £35/month for the top-tier Commerce plan. Most of my clients land somewhere in the middle with the Business plan at £17/month. It includes marketing tools like pop-up windows, analytics, and the ability to sell digital and physical products online.

Question 3

Can I sell products in Squarespace?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Squarespace is made for selling products, whether it's physical products, digital downloads, services, or subscriptions. You can manage inventory, set up shipping, offer discounts, take payments (hello, Stripe and PayPal), and even handle tax stuff.

Question 4

Does Squarespace include hosting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hosting is included in all Squarespace plans, which means no dealing with third-party hosting nightmares. Your website lives on secure, reliable, high-speed servers, so you don't need to lift a techy finger. It's all-in-one and super simple, just how we like it.

Question 5

Can I connect my own domain to Squarespace?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Whether you bought your domain through Squarespace or elsewhere like GoDaddy or Google Domains, you can easily connect it to your Squarespace site. Pro tip: if you're buying a new domain, it's easiest to get the domain directly through Squarespace, then everything is all under one roof. I can manage all of this for you if we work together.

Question 6

I'm not in the UK. Can I still work with you?

Accepted Answer

Although I'm based in the UK, I work with clients worldwide. Everything is done online and via Google Meet video chat, so it's really easy to manage.

Question 7

Is Squarespace good for SEO?

Accepted Answer

Short answer: yes. Long answer: Squarespace comes with a lot of built-in SEO goodness - things like clean code, mobile-friendly design, SSL security, and customisable meta titles and descriptions. That said, good SEO still requires good strategy. I optimise every website I design for Google and AI, but I also teach my clients how to keep climbing those rankings.

Question 8

Is Squarespace easy to use?

Accepted Answer

Yep, it's one of the easiest platforms out there. You don't need to know how to code to update your website, swap out photos, or tweak your copy. It's a really simple drag and drop editor. The backend is clean and intuitive, and once I hand things over and give you a full 'how-to' lesson, you'll feel confident managing it all yourself. If you can use Canva, you can Squarespace. Trust me.

Question 9

Is it worth hiring a professional designer?

Accepted Answer

If you want a website that's not just pretty, but strategic too, then yes. DIY can get you started, but a professional designer knows how to create a user experience that converts, showcases your brand like a pro, and keeps visitors on your site. Plus, you save yourself hours (or weeks) of time and stress. So yes, hiring someone like me? Totally worth it.

Question 10

Will my Squarespace website look good on mobile?

Accepted Answer

Yes! All Squarespace websites are fully responsive, which means they can be setup to look great on mobile, tablet and desktop. No pinching or awkward zooming required. And since more than half your visitors are scrolling on their phones, that mobile layout matters now more than ever.
