Website in a week
Lean Squarespace sites for small businesses.
A quality Squarespace site without the price tag.
From $850
Not everyone needs a big fancy site with lots and bells and whistles. Some people just need a site that communicates clearly, looks professional, and works properly. If that’s you, then a Website in a Week is the perfect option.
This budget-friendly Squarespace is ideal for individuals (consultants, accountants, freelancers, educators) or small businesses (non-profits, restaurants, in-person services) that do most of their business offline. You end up with a beautifully designed 5 page website that covers everything you need.
What’s included
A five page, fully functional, mobile responsive website.
Detailed questionnaire
Before we start your project, I’ll send you an in-depth questionnaire to make sure that your site has absolutely everything that you need for your business.
Planning & strategy meeting
We’ll kick off your project with a 1 hour planning and strategy meeting to make sure that we’re both on the same page and that expectations are clear all around.
3-4 page website
In addition to a home page, I’ll design and build About, Contact, and Services pages. Each page will be on brand and will be fully responsive across devices.
Image sourcing
Even if you have original photos, we may need additional photos or textures to bring your site to life. I’ll take care of sourcing or creating those images so you don’t have to.
Custom 404 error page
Errors happen. When they do, it’s important to have a well designed error page to help get potential customers back on track to engaging with your site.
Email and domain setup
I’ll gladly connect your new site with your domain. If you need email, I’ll get that set up for you as well.
SEO optimization
Your site will be fully SEO ready with optimized images, fast loading speed, and appropriate meta-data so that you can begin rising through search engine rankings
Thorough testing
I’ll click every link and button and test your site on multiple devices to make sure your site functions exactly how it should on every device.
Handover assistance & training
Nervous about managing your new site? Don’t be. I’ll provide a full walkthrough of your site along with instructions for updating, so that you don’t need to worry.
How does it work?
Day 0: Pre-planning
When you purchase a Website in a Week, we will schedule the week of the build. I will provide a list of what I’ll need from you to make the site a success. This includes your logo and branding board, copy, and photography that you want to use on your site. I will also send you a detailed questionnaire to make sure we cover every detail.
Day 1: The Home Page
Usually a Monday. We’ll kick off the morning with a call to make sure we have everything ready to go. Then, I’ll take all of the content that you have provided and start building out your site. I always start with the home page. Once that’s ready (sometime in the early afternoon), I will send it your way for approval while I continue working on the rest of the site.
Day 2: Fleshing Things Out
Once everything is good to go with your home page, I’ll begin working on the additional pages. By the end of day 2, you will have a fully functional website ready to review
Day 3: Review Day
We will hop on a Zoom call for about an hour to review the whole site. I’ll take notes and start working on revisions.
Day 4: The Finesse
Once all of your edits are in, you will receive one more notification to review the site. A second Zoom call usually isn’t necessary, but it is an option if needed.
Day 5: Test and connect
I’ll do a thorough test of your site to ensure everything is function as it should across multiple devices. Then we will connect your Squarespace site to your domain. You’re off and running
Days 6 & 7
We’ll tie up any loose ends, and I’ll train you on how to use and update your new Squarespace site. If these days fall on the weekend, I roll them over to the next week.
