An example Squarespace web design project.

Kickoff Call
We start every project with a questionnaire and an hour Zoom call to discuss your website project in-depth. This is where we will map out your site, discuss your branding, and plan the content.
This 1-1 kickoff call is a unique part of my signature process that allows me to do a deep dive into the background and marketing strategy behind your business so your website is built from the ground up on a conversion-based strategy.
-
Design & Develop
I block off time after our kickoff call to design your website. You are my top priority during the design phase!
I will start by building the wireframe (on a private development domain), will implement the branding, and build out the homepage. I will check in with you after about 1-week to make sure you like the general direction. Once approved, I’ll finish building out the rest of the website.
-
Edit and Launch
After your website is built, I will send a “markup” link where you can leave comments, upload content, and ask for edits during the revision process.
Once you are happy with your website and all content has been implemented, I will set up everything for you and launch your site. You don’t need to lift a finger! You will receive custom training videos and instructions so you can maintain your own website going forward.
-
No problem — it’s fully done-for-you. I handle design, setup, edits, content upload, and launch. You stay focused on your business.
-
You don’t need to be. I use Squarespace, which is simple to edit, and I’ll send custom video tutorials so you’re never stuck.
-
That’s super common. I guide you through what’s needed and can work from drafts or notes. We build it together as we go.
-
You don’t need the vision — that’s my job. I’ll bring strategy and structure, and we’ll shape the design around your business.
-
Totally fair — but keep in mind, this isn’t just design. You’re getting branding, SEO, and a strategic website that’s built to grow your business. Most people pay for those separately.
-
You can — but templates rarely communicate clearly or convert well. I build your site custom so it works for your unique offer, audience, and goals.
-
That’s frustrating. My process is different — it’s 100% transparent and strategy-first, SEO-integrated, and completely done for you.
-
You’ll be part of the review process. On my custom website packages, I will first send you a homepage to review before I build the full site. Then, we do the rounds of revisions together — so you’ll never be stuck with something that doesn’t feel like you.
-
My sites are built to get results — with SEO, conversion-focused layout, and messaging that speaks to your ideal client. It’s not just a digital brochure.
-
Not at all. Once we launch, it’s yours — with video tutorials so you can easily update things yourself, no retainer required.
-
Absolutely. Branding is a built-in part of my process. We craft colors, fonts, imagery, and design that represent you — not just a trend.
-
I can sometimes get booked 4-6 weeks out, but once you are on my schedule, I block off time just for you. A templated website usually takes 2-3 weeks and a standard 5-page custom website typically takes about 4-6 weeks to design and launch, once we begin the project.
I am a one-woman agency, which means it takes a little longer to get on my schedule. However, if you aren’t in a rush, the benefit of working with Websites by Khara is that you will be working directly with me, the agency owner, throughout your entire project!

FAQ About Working with a Squarespace Designer
-

-
The cost of hiring af reelance Squarespace web developer varies. The more experience a designer has, the more they will usually charge. The scope of the project will also impact the price. The average cost of a custom Squarespace website will be around $3,000 USD.
-
Yes, professional freelance Squarespace developers use Squarespace. In fact, Squarespace is quickly becoming one of the most popular platforms to build professional websites on. With the launch of the 7.1 framework and Fluid Engine designer, the platform now competes, and is quickly outperforming, popular platforms such as WordPress.
-
In my opinion, Wix is not better then Squarespace. Squarespace has an incredible developer community, is easier to design on, and is easier to customize. Additionally, Wix is not responsive. When you drag the browser window it will not resize the content (it gets cut off).
-
All Squarespace websites must be hosted through Squarespace. However, Squarespace isn't an open source platform, like WordPress, so there are no security threats. You won't need to update plugins, themes, install security software, or keep your site hidden from hackers.
