S Evans Design designs and builds Squarespace websites for service businesses, studios and portfolios in the UK and worldwide. One designer from brief to launch, handed over with a walkthrough, so the site can be kept up to date without a developer on call.
A site built around what the business is actually hired for, so somebody arriving cold can tell within a few seconds whether they are in the right place.
Layouts designed for the content that exists, rather than a template the content has to be squeezed into.
A site that works on a phone first, because that is where most people will see it.
A handover walkthrough, so changing a sentence, adding a page or updating a price is something the owner can do themselves.
Squarespace suits businesses selling a service, showing work or taking enquiries. If the business is selling more than a handful of products, Shopify is the better call and you will be told so before anything is quoted.
Every project is quoted individually. Tell me the scope and a fixed quote comes back, usually within 48 hours, and nothing starts until the price is agreed. The person you brief is the person doing the work.
One to two weeks for a single page and two to three weeks for a four-to-five page site, assuming content arrives on time.
Yes, that is the point of building on Squarespace. It is handed over with a walkthrough so you are not dependent on a developer for ordinary changes.
Yes. Rebuilding on an existing account is often faster than starting from nothing, and the content that already works can be kept.
A small number of products can sit on Squarespace. Beyond that it is worth moving to Shopify, and that decision gets made before a quote, not after.
