Beyond the native editor

Squarespace, pushed
past its limits

The Squarespace editor is great for dragging blocks around. It is also where most Squarespace sites stop. We inject custom code on top, so your site does things the standard builder simply cannot. This very page is proof: it is built on Squarespace, yet none of it came out of the drag and drop editor.

Interactive tools

Calculators, finders and widgets that respond to your visitor, not just static blocks of text.

Custom layouts

Designs and sections built by hand, past the fixed arrangements a template hands you.

Animated sections

Motion and reveal effects that make a page feel alive, added with code rather than a plugin.

Proper structured data

The SEO schema the native editor leaves out, added by hand so search engines read your site right.

Speed and clean code

Tightly built pages that load fast, because slow sites lose enquiries and rankings.

Features on request

If you can describe it, we can usually build it, well beyond what the blocks allow.

    What makes ours different

    SEO built in, not bolted on

    Squarespace has decent SEO foundations, yet most sites never go past the defaults, so they look fine and get found by nobody. It happens because the structure, the page content and the internal linking were never built for search in the first place.

    We do it the other way round. The way your site is structured, the way pages connect and the way each one is written are all set up to rank from the day it goes live, with the structured data the native editor leaves out added by hand. You get a Squarespace site that looks the part and gets found.

    How it works

    From brief to
    live site

    Consult

    We start with a proper conversation about your business, your goals and what the site needs to do.

    Strategy

    We map out the pages, the structure and the design direction before any building starts.

    Build

    We build the site on Squarespace and add the custom features and SEO the native editor cannot.

    Approve

    You review the finished site and we refine it until you are happy. Nothing goes live until you sign off.

    Pay

    Payment is taken only once you have approved the work, so you pay for a site you have already seen.

    Handover

    We take the site live, hand over the keys and show you how to run it, with the Circle perks applied.

    Frequently asked

    Squarespace design questions

    How much does a Squarespace designer cost?
    It depends on how many pages you need. Our Essential build is 450 pounds for a complete site: home, a services page, gallery, contact, about and the legal pages every site needs. The Plus build at 795 pounds adds up to ten individual service pages, while the Local build at 945 pounds adds localised pages on top. Or you can take our SEO Package, where the build is included free and you pay 350 pounds a month for the site plus a full local SEO and social campaign, with no deposit on a 12 month term.
    What can you do that the Squarespace editor cannot?
    Quite a lot. Squarespace gives you blocks to drag around, which is fine for a basic site. We inject custom code on top: interactive tools, animated sections, custom layouts, proper structured data for SEO and features the native editor simply does not offer. This very page is an example, built on Squarespace but doing things the standard editor cannot.
    Are you a Squarespace Circle member?
    Yes. Circle is Squarespace's partner program for professional designers. Membership means we work on the platform every day, get priority support from Squarespace and early access to new features. For you it also means perks when we set your site up, including an extended trial well beyond the standard 14 days and a discount on your first year.
    Do I get the build for free?
    Yes, on the SEO Package. When you take the ongoing package at 350 pounds a month on a 12 month term, the Squarespace build is included at no extra cost, with no deposit. You also get local SEO for your area, AI optimisation, Google Maps management, two posts a week on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn, plus monthly reporting.
    Will my Squarespace site be built for SEO?
    Yes. Squarespace has decent SEO foundations, yet most sites never go beyond the defaults. We build the structure, the page content and the internal linking to rank, then add the structured data the native editor leaves out, so the site is ready to be found from the day it goes live.
    Do you work on existing Squarespace sites?
    Yes. As well as new builds we redesign and improve existing Squarespace sites, whether that means a fresh design, custom features the native editor cannot do, better SEO or a proper mobile experience. If your current site looks dated or is not bringing in enquiries, we can rebuild it without starting from scratch.
