LAUNCH IN A WEEK
6 steps to launching your brand new website
1. Choose a template
Choose your favourite Squarespace website from the collection and get in touch to place your order.
2. Book your week
Reserve your build week and pay the deposit. Start gathering together all of your content and branding.
3. Briefing call
At the start of your build week, we’ll jump on a video call to dive into your business, goals and content.
4. Customise & build
I’ll start building your website, adding your branding and content and customising it for your business.
5. Review
Towards the end of the week, you’ll get a chance to review the website and make one round of revisions.
6. Launch
Once your website has had it’s final touch-ups, it’s ready to launch. But fear not, I’ll take care of this too.
I’m not tech savvy at all. Will this website be easy to use?
Yes! This collection of Launch in a Week Squarespace templates have been created for business owners just like you. Business owners that don’t have the time (or desire) to try and figure out complicated website systems. Business owners that just want to be able to update their website and then move on with their day. And that’s exactly what you’ll be able to do.
Once your website is up and running, I will talk you through the basics, such as editing copy, changing photographs and adding in links and you’ll also have access to a bank of how-to videos. I know you’ll be able to do all of this with ease, because Squarespace is designed for simplicity. It’s why I love and it’s why I know you’re going to love it too.
What’s included
-
I will use your chosen template as the foundation for your new website, but then reimagine it using your content, branding, fonts, colours and photography. It will be completely personalised for you and your business.
I will make sure it looks great on both desktop and mobile and I’ll get it setup for SEO success too. I’ll even handle the domain and launch.
All you need to do is send me all of your content and then sit back and relax.
-
Multi-page website: Your new website comes with 5 customised pages of your choice. For example: Home, Services, About, Blog and Contact.
It will also include 4 bonus pages that will enhance the user experience of your website. These will include a personalised thank you page that shows after someone completes your contact form, a personalised newsletter subscription page so that you have a direct link to share on socials, a personalised newsletter thank you page that shows after someone subscribes and a personalised 404 page.
One-page website: If you’re opting for a one-page website, this will just have one page. See demo for example.
If you need any additional pages outside of this, these can be added in for an additional cost.
-
Your website can be setup with the following features, if you need them - mailing list, lead magnet download, pop-up window and announcement bar.
Your mailing list can be connected to Squarespace, Mailchimp or another email provider.
If you choose to use the built-in Squarespace email campaign tool (it's basic but perfect for simple emails), there is an additional monthly/yearly Squarespace fee. If you want to send 1 email a week, this will cost an additional £8 per month, on top of your Squarespace subscription fee.
-
I will setup your website for SEO success. This will include adding keyword rich page titles, meta descriptions, headers and image ALT tags.
-
Your website will come with a 6 month free Squarespace trial. This means that you don’t need to start paying for Squarespace until we’ve built your website and we’re ready to launch.
-
Once your website is launched, you will access to an online video library. Inside the library will be a host of simple video guides that talk you through everything you'll need to know if you want to make changes to your website, such as how to add content, change the colours, make page edits and add new images.
What you’ll need
-
Before the website build can begin, you're going to need to send me all of your content and branding.
A full list of what you’ll need to provide will be sent to you when you place your order, but as a quick overview, you’ll need a bank of high quality, professional images for your website as well as all of the copy (words) and branding (logo, colour scheme etc).
If you need help with any of this, let me know and I can recommend some awesome copywriters and photographers that can help you.
If you don’t have enough images, I can source on-brand stock images for you.
-
Your Squarespace website comes with a free 6 month Squarespace trial, but once we're ready to launch your website, you'll need to start paying a monthly or yearly subscription fee.
This costs between £144-£420 a year, depending on which plan you need, with the ecommerce plan being the most expensive.
-
Your website will need a domain (www address). If you don't already have one, we can buy one through Squarespace. If you do have one, we can point it to your new website. I will handle all of this for you.
Shall we do this?
Are you ready for a website that’s not only beautiful and strategically built, but one that’s simple and easy to use, so that you can focus on building a business that you love around a life that you love?
Your investment:
One-page website: £460
Multi-page website:£960
Frequently asked questions
-
I use Squarespace because it’s perfect for business owners who don’t have the time to learn something new and complicated. It’s really easy to use and I know that once we launch your website, you will be able to update the pages and make changes with ease.
It’s also an all-in-one platform, so it will do everything you need it to do, from managing domains and hosting to setting up a mailing list and selling, which is perfect for business owners that want to keep things as simple and straightforward as possible.
-
Yes, you will need a Squarespace account. If you don’t already have one, you will be prompted to create one when I create the website. You'll get a free 6 month trial with your new website (usually 2 weeks).
-
No, you don't need any Squarespace experience. I will build and launch your website for you, so there’s no additional skills required there, and you'll get a bank of videos showing you everything you need to know to edit and update your website (which is super easy, promise!). You'll have email support too.
-
Aside from the cost of your new website, you will need a domain (www address) which is approx. £30/year. You will also need to pay annually/monthly for Squarespace. This is approx £180/year, although you'll get 6 months free to give us more than enough time to build and launch your website first.
If you want to add more pages or a shop, this will be an additional cost too.
-
I can adjust the layout where needed to suit your content, but the overall design and structure will remain the same.
If there are sections you want to remove, replicate or add in, this shouldn’t be a problem, we can discuss these changes during our briefing call.
-
Of course! I will build your website for both desktop and mobile view and it will look awesome on both.
It’s also worth noting that Squarespace has a built-in mobile and desktop editor, so once your website has launched, you will be able to make changes easily to both layouts, should you need to.
-
Yes. If you want to add additional pages, over and above the 5 key pages that are included, this can be incorporated into the build.
It’s also possible to add more pages further down the line, should you need to.
-
Yes, it is possible to add a shop to your new website to sell physical or digital products. Squarespace comes with built-in e-commerce functionality that works brilliantly for shops selling a small amount of simple products.
I can build this in for you for an additional cost, or you can have a go at doing this yourself.
However, if ecommerce is a big part of your business, please research Squarespace as an e-commerce platform before you buy a website. If you're selling a large number of products or you need lots of add-ons or complex functionality, it might not be suitable. Feel free to get in touch for some advice if you aren't sure.
-
Once you get in touch, we can get your website build booked in as soon as possible. This is usually within 4 weeks of your initial enquiry. The website will then be built during that week and launched at the end of the week.
-
If you need your website live, like, yesterday, get in touch as soon as you can. I will always try my best to accommodate quicker turnarounds.
-
Yes, I will build your website so that it’s optimised for SEO. This will include keyword focused page titles, meta descriptions, headers and image ALT tags.
It’s worth noting, however, that a website's search engine optimisation is heavily influenced by the content on your website and many other external factors, including backlinks and blogging.
So although the website will be setup for SEO success, your content and ongoing SEO strategy is going to make a big difference.
-
Yes. Once your new website is up and running, you will be able to make edits and updates quickly and easily.
Squarespace is such an intuitive platform, you can’t go far wrong.
You’ll get access to a bank of videos showing you how to make changes and the simple drag and drop editor will keep things straightforward.
