we built Kristen’s website in just one day
Working with Drea was a seamless experience from start to finish. She helped me create the website of my dreams and gave me tons of helpful advice on best practices and beyond. Best of all, she fully understood my vision and helped me bring my ideas to life! Working with her was one of the best decisions I've made for my business. Highly, highly recommend!
what is a
design day?
A design day is a full day of co-creation with a professional web designer to improve your current website OR to customize one of our Squarespace templates to your business’ branding and content.
what if you could have a website that was…
easy to update
▶ No need to write to your web designer every time you want to add more content or change something
user-friendly
▶ No more endless emails & dms with frequently asked questions from clients who just don’t get how to buy
beautifully-designed
▶ we’ll fully style and customize one of our Squarespace templates to your branding so that the rest is plug and play

we built Meghan’s website in just one day
For someone like me who knows what she likes but has difficulty articulating a concept, it was the most pleasant and easy experience. Drea provided so much guidance, and the process from start to finish could not have been smoother. I adore what she created and absolutely recommend for all design needs. I’m going to be using her in the future for anything I need moving forward!
This is for you if…
you’ve played with Squarespace but feel overwhelmed with the platform
you want to be independent and learn how to best use Squarespace yourself for future updates
your website is already up but you’re experiencing growing pains and not sure how to make it run more efficiently for your business
you feel like you’re doing too many things manually and wish your website was more efficient
you already have a brand identity and your business is well-established
This is not for you if…
you want someone to do your entire website for you
your business is just starting and you aren’t sure what you’re offering
you want to build an online course platform using a tool like Teachable or Podia
let’s talk about the real cost of creating your website…
a design day saves you…
-
Months of back and forth feedback with designers to get your website done for you. Not to mention down time of your site that is causing you to lose sales, and all the time wasted in design review calls when you could be working on what you love!
-
A done-for-you bespoke website costs between 10k$ - 25k$ and requires a full team on board.

we built Stephanie’s website in just one day
Drea helped me get my project off to a good start and gave me the tools to be self-sufficient later on. She did in one day what would have taken me weeks of work and remained supportive for my technical questions.

Yes! I can improve your site or create a landing page for you on Webflow or Shopify.
However, if you’re looking for a full website on Webflow or Shopify, you’ll need to contact us for a quote for a bespoke web design project. Check it out here.

Unfortunately no, I can’t work on an online course platform in the context of a design day. It would have to be a more fleshed out project that takes longer to execute.
If you want to use Squarespace for managing a simple online couse or digital product, I would be happy to help in a Design Day.
-
I prefer if you have a brand guide beforehand with a colour palette, moodboard and general design direction you like.
A logo isn’t necessary.
-
Yes! The whole point of the Design Day is so that you can be independent and update your own website once the day is over. We’ll send you a Loom video with instructions and a document with step by step instructions for how to update everything that we added for you onto the website.
If you have questions after you launch, you can always message us!
-
You only need to be live on the calls with us during the 2× 2.5 hour co-creation sessions. The rest of the day, I need you to be on call for quick feedback but you can go about your regular day.
-
We’ll send you a workbook prior to the Design Day to ensure you have your copy ready.
You’ll also need all of your branding assets ready to go: photography, branding guide, videos, graphics, etc.
-
Feel free to email us with your questions after the Design Day! Usually you should be able to do everything yourself and we can point you in the right direction for resources.
If you want new additions and features added to the website in the future after launch, we could work together on an hourly basis.
-
We have some templates under construction that we could use for your Design Day, as well as some older models to choose from that aren't for sale on the website. Don't hesitate to reach out and we can figure something out for you to find a template you love!
