SQUARESPACE
WEBSITE DESIGN PROCESS
hi there & thanks for your inquiry! Below is a GENERAL project outline of my Web design Process:
Consult call to discuss your project!
Creative branding questionnaire is filled out.
I will provide an estimate and start date.
Design Contract is signed by both parties.
You must provide all necessary assets and copy—prior to the start of each project—to ensure on-time completion.
Once deposit is paid, I’ll begin working on the Squarespace template (through a trial site), organizing content, and a first pass at visual branding for the homepage.
Depending on the amount of content on your website, I may do a bit of wireframing before working on your template.
You will review and provide feedback.
At this point, if I'm way off, we can discuss ending the contract. Design is subjective, after all, and I might not be the right person for you. (No hard feelings!)
I will go through one more pass and build out content pages.
I will invite you onto Squarespace as an admin so you can begin learning the backend.
At this point, you can:
Build out the rest of the pages with my support.
OR have me build out the rest of the pages.
Once the content is up, we'll go through a final pass:
Connecting Social Accounts
Connecting Newsletters
Domain Transfer
Setting up site page and site descriptions for SEO
Create custom video tutorials so you can update your site.
*As a member of Squarespace Circle, I can get you 20% off the first year of your new website or online store.
Again, this discount only applies to the first payment on a new Website or Commerce plan on either annual or monthly cycles. The discount doesn't apply to future renewals, reactivations, upgrades, or downgrades.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
