Dan Cohen:
Squarespace
Website Designer

Squarespace is a powerful website-building platform known for its user-friendly interface and modern, professional design layouts. Its intuitive drag-and-drop Fluid Engine editor allows for the creation of a custom-tailored website unique to your business and enables you to effortlessly manage and maintain the website yourself after our project concludes.

The platform includes a wide range of built-in tools that will further enhance your site, such as:

• SEO tools to rank your website higher in search engine results

• Responsive designs that ensure the website is always optimized for mobile devices

• Domain hosting that lets you connect or transfer your existing domain to Squarespace, or set up a new domain that automatically links to your Squarespace subscription—keeping your domain and website all in one place

• New feature releases and updates that regularly improve the Squarespace platform

• Top-tier customer support to keep everything on your Squarespace site running smoothly at all times

As a Squarespace web designer, I focus on delivering a smooth client experience and a custom, SEO-friendly website tailored to your brand. Your site will be professionally designed, responsive across devices, and built to attract traffic, boost engagement, and support long-term growth.

With Squarespace’s powerful features and my design expertise, you’ll get a user-friendly site that’s easy to update manage on your own. As a Squarespace Circle Gold Partner, I also offer exclusive perks like annual subscription discounts, extended trials, and access to advanced tools.

There are 3 main stages in a typical web design project:

1. The Onboard:
   First, you’ll book a discovery call so we can discuss your project and how I can help you. Following the call, I’ll provide a proposal document detailing the project scope, timeline, deliverables, pricing, and payment terms.

2. The Design:
   Once the proposal is accepted, the project will officially begin. The design phase will take place in stages, during which your feedback will be collected throughout to ensure the design is exactly how you like it.

3. The Launch:
   When you’re happy with the design, we’ll launch your new website. You’ll receive a comprehensive recorded training on how to use the site, along with 30 days of free email support to answer any post-launch questions.

As a Squarespace Circle Gold Partner, I am part of an exclusive community of experienced Squarespace website designers. This grants me several perks that pass through to my clients, including discounts on annual website subscriptions, extended website trial periods, and access to advanced web design resources.

I've partnered with many businesses across various industries—from nonprofits, creative portfolios, and digital marketing agencies to recruiting firms, beauty salons, laundromats, and tech solutions consultants. Whether you're a startup or established company, I create Squarespace websites tailored to your specific brand and goals.

Of course! I’ll transfer your existing pages and content to your new Squarespace site, create a custom refreshed design, set up any specific functionalities you need, connect your website’s domain name, and provide comprehensive recorded training on how to use the site at the end of the project. Book a discovery call, and let’s talk details.

Absolutely! Squarespace’s user-friendly interface makes it very easy for you to go in and update after I hand off the website to you.

At the conclusion of the project, I will also provide a comprehensive recorded training on how to use the site, along with 30 days of free email support to make sure everything is running smoothly and answer any post-launch questions you may have.

Typically, a project ranges around 3-4 weeks from start to finish. However, timelines may vary based on the project’s size and complexity, the availability of the initial content for the site, and the turnaround time for feedback. Ensuring that all necessary materials are prepared in advance and providing timely feedback will help keep the process moving efficiently.

Hiring a professional Squarespace web designer can range from $1,000 to $5,000+, depending on the size and complexity of the project, the number of features needed, and the amount of customization requested. Partnering with an experienced designer ensures high-quality designs, technical expertise, and a streamlined process tailored to your business goals.

Book a discovery call so we can discuss your specific requirements and create a project proposal that works for you.

While both platforms offer solid website-building tools, Squarespace is often the better choice for those seeking modern design, ease of use, and built-in SEO features.

• Ease of Use: Squarespace’s Fluid Engine offers a more polished, intuitive interface that allows for a more user-friendly editing experience. Managing your site becomes simple, helping you avoid the long-term recurring cost of hiring someone for regular updates.

• Design Quality: Squarespace stands out for its modern, cohesive, and professionally designed templates that require little to no additional code.

• Responsive Layouts: Squarespace’s responsive templates adjust seamlessly across devices, delivering a consistent viewing experience for site visitors.

• SEO Tools: Squarespace includes powerful built-in SEO features to help optimize your site's visibility in search results.

• All-in-One Functionality: Key features like blogging, e-commerce, and scheduling are built into the Squarespace platform—no need to install separate apps.

• Reliable Support: Squarespace provides outstanding customer support and an extensive resource hub with helpful guides and tutorials.

Although Wix offers more layout flexibility and app integration options, Squarespace excels in its user-friendly interface, visually impressive designs, and powerful SEO tools for boosting search result rankings. Its all-in-one platform is ideal for users who want a polished, professional website without the complexity—making it a smart choice for businesses and creatives alike.
