I’ll help you create a beautiful, functional, custom Squarespace website that reflects your vision and is easy to maintain — so you can spend less time worrying about your website and more time sharing the work you love with the world.

All you want is a stunning website that you’re dying to show off without worrying about all the technology behind it.

Is that so much to ask?

You know how important a professional website that personifies your brand is for supporting your business — but it’s not exactly your zone of genius.

You’re amazing at what you do. But when it comes to knowing how to design and maintain a website that brings your vision to life, shows up on Google (SEO Optimization), and is a magnet for your ideal clients … well, you could use a little bit of help.

I work with women service providers who want…

  • An online home for their business that they can’t wait to show off.

  • A website that isn’t cookie-cutter but unique and customized to them.

  • To generate online search traffic and qualified leads for their business.

  • To be able to easily maintain their website without having to know “all that tech stuff.”

  • To feel empowered and energized to nurture & grow their business, not nervous or overwhelmed by the care & feeding of their website.

Beautiful, responsive, functional website design is so important!

The numbers don’t lie. Some interesting data to consider…

94% of first impressions relate to your site’s web design. 75% of website credibility comes from design. 74% of users are more likely to return to mobile-friendly websites 66% of people prefer to look at a beautifully designed website if given 15 minutes to consume content. 76% of users say ease of use is an essential element in website design. 42% of people would leave a website because of poor quality. 57% of users won’t recommend a business if it has a poorly designed website on mobile.

You don’t want any old website designer. You’re looking for someone who can…

  • Take the overwhelm and fear out of ALL THE THINGS related to your website and lead you through the whole process with calm and ease.

  • Ensure your site is not only gorgeous and engaging,  but functions well and delights your visitors.

  • Build a custom Squarespace website that is SEO-friendly (and teach you what that means!)

  • Provide you resources and training so you feel empowered, not frustrated about maintaining your website.

And that’s my specialty!

Hi, I’m Meg!

I’m a Squarespace Web Designer for women service providers who want a website that brings their vision to life but lack the time, desire, or skills to do it themselves. 

My mission is to show you that you don’t need to be tech-savvy or waste precious hours to have a professional website you can finally be proud of! 

In addition to my technology and design experience, I draw upon my mindfulness training, applying deep focus to create easy-to-maintain websites that balance beauty and function so my clients can proudly share their online home, attract more dream clients, and replace website worries with more time to focus on the work they love.

I would do it all again if I had to!

“Megan was amazingly strategic in her approach to building my website. Details were captured beautifully from the vision that I had, but I didn’t know how to pull them through. She was patient and entertained every question and concern I had along the way. The end product was breathtaking and is serving me well as I attract potential clients while educating the general public with the information shared through my site. I would do it all again if I had to!”

 FAQs

    • Logo (if desired), font & color selections. Need these? The Website & Branding package includes these.

    • Copy (text). DIY guides are provided, and I will do light copy-editing. If you don’t want to DIY, I can help you find a professional copywriter or other resources.

    • Images: Professional photos for your brand are always preferred. I also provide guidelines for images and sources for free & paid stock photography.

    • Required Legal policies: A minium of a Privacy Policy and Terrms & Conditions are required. If you don’t already have these, I can recommend resources.

  • The design/build phase of your project will start after all of your pre-work has been submitted and we’ve had our strategy call. The timeline from design to launch can be as short as two weeks and can go up from there, depending on the full scope of your project. Adding branding will generally add one week to the time frame.

    Once the scope of our project is defined I’ll be able to give you a firm timeline estimate.

  • During our initial call, we’ll scope out your full project. If you need more than what is included in the base packages, we’ll create a customized proposal.

  • I do not provide full copywriting services. I will do light copy-editing and provide you with guides to help you DIY your copy. However, if you need full copywriting services, I can help you find a professional to work with you (or other resources like courses or templates to consider). We would then schedule your design project to start after your copy is ready!
