FAQs

  • We choose Squarespace because it provides you with a beautifully crafted, dependable foundation without the hassle of complicated tech. It offers elegant design flexibility alongside powerful all-in-one tools — from SEO and e-commerce to email marketing — so your website not only looks stunning but performs seamlessly behind the scenes.

    It’s the perfect fit if you’re seeking a polished, professional online presence that you can easily update and manage with confidence long after launch.

  • When you work with us, you’ll also enjoy 20% off your first year — a little thank you for choosing to collaborate. You can explore Squarespace’s pricing on their site, but most of our clients find the Business Plan or Basic Commerce Plan suits their needs best.

    Just a quick note: this hosting cost, along with your domain fee, is separate from our website design fee.

  • There is no VAT to pay on my website design services.

  • At the close of every project, we provide our clients with a personalized Squarespace guide, helpful resources, and video tutorials—empowering you to confidently manage and update your website on your own.

    Squarespace also offers award-winning 24/7 technical support and an extensive Knowledge Base for any in-depth questions. But for quick answers, we’re always just an email away.

    Should you need additional edits or updates after the project wraps, we’re happy to assist on a piece-work basis at our hourly rate.

  • Our process is thoughtfully designed to be effortless and stress-free for you. We’ll guide you clearly through each stage and provide precise instructions on how to prepare. At the end, you’ll receive a tailored guide and video tutorials showing you exactly how to make any edits you need with ease.

    What’s truly wonderful about Squarespace is that it’s a fully managed platform — unlike WordPress — meaning all updates, maintenance, security, and technical details are handled for you. So you can focus on what matters, without a worry in the world.
