Why I Build All My Client Websites on Squarespace
Simple, powerful tools for everyday users—and beautiful results
As a digital marketing specialist, I’ve worked with many website platforms—but when it comes to building sites for my clients, I almost always choose Squarespace. Here’s why.
1. Ease of Use That Empowers You
One of the most common things I hear from small business owners, nonprofit leaders, and ministry teams is, “I just don’t have time to figure out how to update my website.” Squarespace is made for real people—not just designers and developers. The backend is intuitive, the drag-and-drop features are simple, and updates can be made without needing to know a single line of code.
That means once your website is launched, you can confidently manage it yourself—no stress, no tech degree required. My goal is always to leave you feeling equipped and empowered, not dependent on me for every update.
2. A Solid Foundation for Your Digital Strategy
Squarespace doesn’t just make things look good—it also helps you grow. Here are a few standout features that support a strong online presence:
Built-in SEO tools to help your site get found on Google
Simple integration with Google Business Profile for local visibility
Optional email marketing tools to grow your audience and stay in touch—all within the same platform
Native domain hosting so you don’t have to juggle extra platforms for domains or DNS settings
Mobile-responsive design so your site looks great on every screen
Whether you’re just getting started or looking to expand your digital footprint, Squarespace makes it easy to add what you need without overwhelming you.
3. Clean, Modern Design—Right Out of the Box
Squarespace is known for its fresh, professional templates. Even with minimal content or imagery, the end result still feels polished and trustworthy. That’s important when you're building credibility online or trying to make a strong first impression with potential clients, donors, or church visitors.
I customize every site to reflect your brand and values—but the visual quality of the platform gives us a beautiful starting point.
4. Affordable and Accessible—Even on a Budget
I know that many of my clients are operating on tight budgets, especially churches and nonprofits. That’s why I’m grateful to have a good relationship with Squarespace—I can often offer up to a 20% discount on their products and services to make it even more accessible.
For what you get—hosting, templates, security, SEO, integrations, domain management, and more—Squarespace is an incredibly cost-effective solution. And the fact that it’s all-in-one means fewer surprises and hidden costs along the way.
In Summary: Simple. Smart. Scalable.
Squarespace allows me to build professional, effective websites that don’t just look good—they work for you. And more importantly, they’re something you can actually manage, even with limited time or experience.
If you’re considering a new website or looking to refresh your digital presence, I’d love to talk about how Squarespace—and my support—can help you get there.

FAQs
Q: What if I already have a domain with GoDaddy (or another provider)?
No problem! Squarespace makes it easy to connect your existing domain to your new site. I walk all of my clients through that process, or we can transfer your domain directly to Squarespace for simplicity. Either way, I’ll make sure it’s seamless.
Q: Can I accept donations or payments on a Squarespace site?
Yes! Squarespace has built-in tools for donations, tithing, event tickets, and even online stores. Whether you're a nonprofit, church, or small business, we can set up what you need to collect payments securely and easily.
Q: What if I need help keeping my site updated?
You have options. I offer both one-time projects and monthly retainers, so you can either take control yourself or let me manage it for you. It’s totally flexible based on your time, comfort level, and goals. Check out my pricing page to explore my current packages or we collaboratively build a custom package that works for you.

Very secure. Squarespace includes free SSL certificates, automatic updates, and reliable hosting, so you don’t have to worry about technical maintenance or security issues behind the scenes.
