Everything you need to know.
Answers to the questions we hear most.
From how we approach website design and Squarespace to timelines, SEO and ongoing support, we believe the process should be clear from the start. These questions cover what clients ask us most and what you can expect when working with Designsite.
-
Most website projects start at $2,750, with pricing based on the scope and specific needs of your business. We also enjoy working with startups and new businesses, and can often tailor a project to fit within your budget parameters.
Our goal is to make professional website design accessible without overcomplicating the process. We’ll recommend what makes sense for your business, keep the scope focused, and make sure you understand exactly what’s included before the project begins.
-
Squarespace is designed to make managing your website simple, so after launch you can easily update content, add images and make everyday changes yourself—without ongoing development costs.
If you’d rather have us handle it, Designsite is always available for ongoing support through a monthly retainer or hourly rate. It’s a flexible, cost-effective way to have experienced website and creative support when you need it, without the expense of hiring someone in-house.
-
We specialize in Squarespace because it gives our clients the best combination of great design, flexibility, reliability and ease of use. As a Squarespace Circle Platinum Partner, we know how to push the platform well beyond standard templates to create highly customized websites built around your business.
Squarespace also makes life easier after launch, with secure hosting, responsive design, built-in SEO tools and an intuitive editing system that lets you manage your own content without relying on a developer. For most of the businesses and organizations we work with, it’s the right balance of professional capability and long-term simplicity.
-
Absolutely. We can help shape the words and visuals that bring your website to life—from copywriting and brand messaging to photography, icons and custom graphics. We also use advanced AI tools where they make sense to help develop ideas and content more efficiently, while keeping everything thoughtful, original and consistent with your brand.
-
Yes. Every website we build includes thoughtful on-page SEO to help your business get found in search. We can also provide more in-depth SEO services, including keyword research, page titles and descriptions, content recommendations, local search optimization, Google Business Profile guidance, and Google Search Console setup.
Our goal is to make sure your website is not only well designed, but also structured to give search engines—and potential customers—a clear understanding of who you are, what you do and where you do it.
-
Most small business websites can be completed within 2–3 weeks once we have all of the content and materials needed to get started. Larger or more complex projects may take longer depending on the number of pages, functionality and overall scope.
We keep the process focused and efficient, with clear milestones for design, client review and revisions, so your website can move from concept to launch without unnecessary delays.
-
Yes. Once your project is complete and final payment has been made, we transfer full ownership of your Squarespace website to you. You’ll have complete control of the site and can manage it yourself moving forward.
If you’d like ongoing help, Designsite can remain on the website as a Contributor so we can assist with updates, additions or other support whenever you need us.
What it’s like to work with us. Our clients tell it best.
