Why Hire a Squarespace Website Designer?
Squarespace is one of the most popular website-building platforms among small business owners and entrepreneurs. My clients love the user-friendly interface, affordability, and the ability to maintain their own website with easy-to-follow guidance from me.
Squarespace built-in features are unmatched, with integrated mobile readiness, e-commerce tools, scheduling, member areas, and email campaigns, to name a few. From free unlimited hosting and security to top-notch customer support, Squarespace provides incredible value at a reasonable price.
With Squarespace, you have the flexibility to either start from scratch, use their free predesigned layouts, purchase a template from a third-party shop, or work with a professional Squarespace website designer. If you’re familiar with building websites and have the time, then give it a go! Have a tight budget and want something fast but done for you? Then a template might be a good option.
For most people, however, building a website can be a pretty daunting process. Web design is time-consuming and often exasperating. You can speed up the process and eliminate a lot of frustration by hiring a web designer, and more specifically, someone who specializes in Squarespace website design. Squarespace designers like myself know the platform inside and out. We have access to information through a members-only forum and product updates, and we get early access to new features and exclusive content.
You’ll want a web designer who has a solid understanding of user experience and will ensure your website is optimized for conversion. It also helps to have advanced coding skills in order to create a custom look and feel unique to your brand and style.
A good web designer should start by doing a deep dive into your business including your long and short-term goals, your vision for your website and how you want to showcase your brand to the world. For example, I’ve honed my own detailed procedures over the years and utilize a systematic process to execute every design project efficiently.
Remember, first impressions matter! When a potential customer lands on your website, their decision to either leave or stay and continue reading, happens within seconds. According to the Nielson Norman Group, “To gain several minutes of user attention, you must clearly communicate your value proposition within 10 seconds.” So it’s critically important that your website is optimized to load quickly and provide valuable information up front. If you don’t have a good understanding of web design concepts, you’ll likely waste money and lose customers.
Hiring a Squarespace web designer will afford you a faster turnaround time while providing expertise for the best website performance and functionality. My packages also include post-launch support and personalized instructions to help you maintain your website.
