Easy. You need a website that stops your ideal clients in their tracks, keeps them hooked from their first glance, and turns them into hot leads, fast.

The Full Works: Squarespace web design & development service

No more hours wasted trying to understand Squarespace. No more frustration when things don’t look good or work properly. No more staring at a blank page with no idea where or how to start.

No more guesswork. With The Full Works, all of your Squarespace web design and development is handled by me. Working collaboratively, we’ll get to the core of what your business needs from its website and how we can translate your amazingness into a website that wows your ideal clients.

    • A 5-page Squarespace website (additional pages can be added on), custom designed to fit your brand and your business. A typical 5 page website would include a homepage, about page, services page, contact page and one other page of your choosing.

    • Advanced custom-coded Squarespace features to set your website apart from the rest

    • A website that’s fully mobile responsive, has basic SEO covered, and is carefully designed to guide your ideal clients through their journey to working with you

    • Email marketing integration set up so that you can grow your email list.

    • Custom 404 (page not found) page and Instagram links page (so you can ditch the un-branded Linktree page once and for all!)

    • Two rounds of revisions

    • Video training to guide you through your new website as well as 3 weeks of email support after handover

    • 20% off your first annual Squarespace business plan, if you’re new to Squarespace

  • If there’s one thing you need to know about Finding Design, it’s this: everything we do is organised, structured and streamlined. And the process of building your new Squarespace website is no different!

    Instead of the long periods of silence and confusion and overwhelm that might come to mind when you think about working with a website developer, we keep things simple. Here’s a sneak-peek at what the process looks like:

    • Once we’ve got through the (boring but necessary) contracts stage, we’ll jump straight into the Website Questionnaire - which is your chance to share your goals, your vision, your wildly ambitious dreams with me, so I can start translating them into web design and development

    • I’ll put my design-hat on and create an interactive website mockup for you to approve before I dive into the build

    • I’ll build your website in Squarespace, taking care of every tiny detail (including custom code!) for you

    • after two rounds of revisions to make everything perfect, it’s handed over to you with all the support, guides and instructions you need to feel confident with your new website

    … and every single stage of the process is managed through Asana, so we both know what’s coming up and the project stays on track!

  • Depending on the complexity of your Squarespace website (including how much custom development is needed and how many pages we’re building). The Full Works usually takes up to 4 weeks - from kick-off questionnaire to final delivery of your shiny new Squarespace website!

    Need to launch in a week? Check out the Squarespace website intensive instead.

  • The Full Works package is priced at £3,500.

    The investment for your website will depend on the number of pages you need, the complexity of the web development needed, and whether you need custom integrations too - get in touch for a custom (no obligation!) quote.

The process of designing & developing your Squarespace website

  • First things first, every project begins with you sending off your enquiry form to me (with as much detail as possible!). When that hits my inbox, I’ll review it and if the project’s the right fit for us both (depending on timelines, budgets, your needs, etc) I’ll reach out within 2 working days to get a Zoom chat booked in.

    After we’ve chatted, I’ll send you a custom proposal outlining how I can design and develop your new Squarespace site for you, as well as the little details like scope, timelines and payment plans.

  • If you’re happy to go ahead with the project, I’ll ask you to pay a deposit to secure your booking and then you’ll be invited to my project management tool, Asana - which is where we’ll chat, plan out the project and keep everything on track.

    I’ll also send you a discovery workbook to complete. But don’t worry; it’s not as scary as it sounds! It’s an in-depth questionnaire that asks you lots of questions about your business, your brand values, your ideal clients, and your vision for your Squarespace website. I’ll also ask you to send me your brand identity, website images and website copy before we kick off (but if you don’t have those bits, head to the FAQs!).

  • Now it’s time to sit back and relax, while I get to work!

    Full Works package:

    If you’ve booked the Full works package, the first thing I’ll do is design an interactive mockup of what your new website could look like, before I dive into the actual build. This is your chance to provide feedback, suggestions and changes before I start developing your website in Squarespace.

    Website in a week package:

    The website in a week package is a lot more streamlined due to quick turnaround. You’ll be sent a mockup of the homepage to approve to make sure that I’m on the right track, before I build out the rest of the site. The rest of the website will be based on the homepage so that you have a beautiful, consistent website.

  • Once the website is finished and your final payment has been made, you’re the proud owner of a brand new custom Squarespace website - congratulations! It’s time to share it with the world!

    After your website is finished, you’ll receive plenty of recorded training videos, instruction guides and 3 weeks of email support too - so that you feel confident in managing your website yourself.

  • " I'm a big fan of her work and shout about how brilliant she is often"

    This is the second time I've chosen to work with Danielle to create a website with me and she was as incredible as ever. She's organised, easy to work with, sticks to deadlines, and makes everything really simple and easy to understand in bitesize manageable chunks. She's also incredibly creative and visually savvy. Her designs are always clean, appealing, and work commercially too. I'm a big fan of her work and shout about how brilliant she is often.

  • "Danielle did such an amazing job designing my website!"

    She was so easy to work with, and the process felt seamless. Danielle took my branding and a very basic description of what I wanted, and it's like she pulled it straight from my brain with extra little flourishes that make it really special! She made sure the functionality worked perfectly and immediately took feedback on board. I am in love with my website and I feel it represents Oh, Laura perfectly.

  • "Working with Danielle was nothing short of a dream."

    Out of hundreds of people I've worked with over the last 15 years, she was in the top 1%. Danielle made the process as seamless and easy as possible. She exceeded every deadline, and we went live the day we planned (something that .. never .. happens with websites). Her work was exceptional. She understood my vision from the get go, and I had only the most minor revision requests. Her communication was superb—she was always so timely, kind, and responsive. It's just rare that you find someone SO talented and also so lovely to work with. I couldn't be more grateful that I found Danielle, and if you are considering working with her—don't hesitate.

    She always puts in 100% into helping me and making my dream website! It has been so easy to communicate with her too as she is so attentive & patient! If there’s any more complex questions you have, she also films videos to show you how everything works which is super helpful! Every small detail of the website is so well taken care of! I would definitely recommend Danielle to everyone looking to make their dream website come to life!

My website design and development process is simple: we work together to figure out exactly what your business needs before I do the BTS magic to make it come to life.

Want even more details?

I don’t blame you! Choosing a website designer and developer can feel daunting - how do you know what you need from your website build process before you start? I want you to feel as comfortable as possible when choosing me - so if you have any questions before you reach out for a quote, please ask!

  • Squarespace has been my go-to choice for service-based businesses for many years now. It’s simple to use, has lots of flexibility behind-the-scenes for custom development, and I’ve found that it’s easy for clients to manage without me after I’ve designed and built their website.

    Squarespace ticks all the boxes for my service-based clients and it’s a joy to work with as a designer and developer - so it’s the obvious choice for your business too, if you’re looking for a site that looks good, works well and is simple to handle without having to learn intense website development skills!

  • It is! Once I’ve designed and developed your shiny new Squarespace website, I’ll hand over everything to you. You’ll get instruction guides, video tutorials and 3 weeks of email support - so that you can get familiar with your new Squarespace website and ask any questions you have.

    The Squarespace platform is really intuitive to use, so you’ll be able to make edits to your copy, add new blog posts, duplicate pages, change your SEO settings, etc. easily.

  • II completely understand that a fully custom website build is a big investment, particularly if you’re early on in your business. And that’s why the Squarespace website in a week package exists!

    If you’re happy with a smaller Squarespace website but still want to hand the bulk of the build over to a professional, you can check out the website in a week package here.

    Or for a DIY option, check out my professional Squarespace templates here.

  • For me, collaboration and communication are really important. At the end of the day, your website is the public face of your business - so it has to be right for you!

    My website design and development process is carefully mapped out so that your valuable input is requested at the important stages. Any and all feedback at every stage of the project is really helpful for me, and will make sure you end up with a website you love.

  • Unfortunately no, I do not offer brand identity design as a service, however I do know lots of extremely talented branding designers who I can recommend to you.

  • I take bookings for custom website design projects up to 3 months in advance - and I do get booked up pretty quickly! So if you know you’re ready for a brand new Squarespace website in the next few months, get your enquiry in as early as possible so we can get started!

  • Ideally, yes! With your website copy and photography in hand, I’ll be able to design a Squarespace website that not only represents your style, but also puts your core brand messaging in the limelight, so your website grabs your ideal client’s attention with a creative combination of copy and design.

    If you don’t already have website copy or photography, I’d recommend booking your website design in for after that’s ready - and I’m happy to support you during that process, with resources and recommendations for other businesses who can help with your website copy and photography.

    If you book in your website design in advance, we can get started with your Squarespace website once your copy and photography is perfect! If you have any questions about timelines or want recommendations for copywriters or photographers, just get in touch.

  • Projects can be divided up into 4 x payments of which a 50% deposit must be made before the project start date.
