In the web design world, the going rate of hiring a professional to build a custom Squarespace website can cost anywhere between $5,000 to over $20,000 depending on the scope and complexity of your design.

That being said, your website probably won’t cost $20k (not with me, at least). However, you can typically expect to invest somewhere between $5000 - $8000 for a website like this one, or the ones I’ve designed, shown and linked on this page. I am open to discussing what can be achieved with your desired budget, so please don’t hesitate to reach out. I may even be able to connect you with somebody who is a better fit for your needs.

As an independent designer (and a not a design firm), I do my very best to provide a fair quote that respects my time, experience, and energetic focus, while you receive a beautiful website worth your investment!

I’m a big believer of striking while the iron is hot, and I typically like to move at the same speed of my clients - whether that be fast or slow.

While I have finished a website in three days with full creative control, others have taken much longer. My preferred timeline is about 3-6 weeks, which is much more reasonable for most people. Those who are already prepared with copy and assets (or able to deliver them quickly) will be able to move the fastest.

That being said, creativity can’t be rushed or forced, so I encourage clients to stay receptive to the flow for best results.

No. My services are best fit for individuals offering a service or workshops, or small businesses with little to no online inventory.

While Squarespace supports e-commerce, I am a designer more than an e-commerce expert and at a certain volume, Shopify is likely a better fit for streamlining mass online sales.

Adding shop setup to your Squarespace website will affect your estimate, as it introduces a new dimension to consider and build for your website.

Squarespace is very user-friendly and easy to maneuver. No need to call up your developer to make one little edit for $300… you’ll be able to make those adjustments yourself!

I will show you the ropes after handoff so there’s no room for confusion. I also offer email support for one month after launch, and the option for a retainer fee is available.

If you are local to Portland and are interested in learning the ropes in-person, send me a message via the contact form!

I will teach you the basics of Squarespace in two hours + best practices and tips for success.

I never use AI in any of my processes including ideation, copywriting, copyediting, images, or web building. I pride myself on taking the time and energy to dive into creative projects fully and deeply. As a result, you get a website knowing that every single aspect of the design process was carefully considered and intentionally made.

Imagine a website is like an outfit you wear online to express an identity - whether that identity be yourself, your business, or something else.

Would you rather press a big button over and over hoping the outfit generator makes an outfit close enough to your needs?

Or would you rather put together the perfect outfit yourself, down to the smallest details, even if it might take some pondering?

Which outfit do you think would make you feel absolutely amazing when you leave the house? And which outfit would make you feel the most authentically aligned to the truest expression of yourself?

In a world where people are rewarded for quantity over quality, I don’t fault people for using AI. However, as an individual, you get to choose how you represent your unique human sparkle. As an added bonus, doing this work “manually” brings you closer to your business/brand and the special touch it brings to our world.

Hello, friend! If you’ve made it this far down, you are probably at least a little interested in working with me.

I want to extend an offer to those looking for a simple website to get their business started. Whether you’re an acupuncturist, massage therapist, astrologer, career coach, dog walker, or (insert your title here), I am here to help.

I currently offer one slot per month to budding small businesses in dire need of a website, for a heavily discounted sliding scale ($600-$1000).

How to get in touch:

• Use the form at the bottom of this page

• Introduce yourself and the budget you’re able to accommodate within the sliding scale

• Please only reach out if you genuinely need my service at a very low price, not if you’re looking for a steep discount for the sake of it. My intention is to help those who genuinely need it at this time. If you can afford to invest in a professional website, I encourage you to explore a fair energetic trade, either with me, or someone else. Thank you! <3

Please acknowledge these tradeoffs:

In exchange for a heavily discounted service, you are agreeing to trust in my vision and creative direction. You will have one opportunity to share your vision and preferences to set the tone before design work begins. This allows me to work efficiently as possible while providing a beautiful and cohesive website your business deserves. You will be shown how to make edits and changes yourself once your website is finished and ready to go live!

Timeline and delivery of completed website may vary depending on a multitude of factors on my end. If you are in a hurry (ie. if you need a website done by a certain date), this option may not be a good fit for you. However, in most cases, it likely won’t take more than 3-4 weeks, as I prefer to work quickly. You are always open to share your situation with me and it will be considered.

You must also provide your own copy and at least one headshot for the website. For the smoothest process possible, please be prepared to do some writing during this process. I will guide you on what type of copy your website needs.

If you are open to releasing creative control and letting me do my thing based on your desired aesthetic direction for an extremely good price (check out my past work to make sure you vibe with my style!), this option will be a good fit for you.
