Custom Website Projects
If your business needs something a little more specific, a custom website might be the way to go. We design & build fully tailored Squarespace & Shopify sites that work the way you want, and are completely aligned to your unique branding.
We welcome all web projects, whether you’re starting a brand new website or want to give your existing one a proper refresh.
Custom Websites on Squarespace & Shopify
Our custom websites are built on Squarespace for service based businesses, and Shopify for ecommerce brands.
Each site is created to reflect your brand, speak to your audience, and encourage users to convert. Our particular style leans more on the ‘minimal and clean’ side as we like to keep sites purposeful & easy to navigate.
Most custom website projects take 4 – 8 weeks, depending on the scope of work and how quickly we move through revisions.
Kick off your website project by booking a Discovery Call. From there, we’ll create your website scope and present final pricing.

Your website will be designed as an interactive mockup. Once you’re happy with the final look, we’ll move into build and domain connection.

Your Custom Website Inclusions
As part of your website project, you'll receive a complete end to end service. Below are the core inclusions that come standard with every Squarespace and Shopify project.

No pressure, just a casual convo to get things started.

A clear document outlining exactly what’s included in your project, along with the final price. So you know exactly what you’re getting, and where your investment is going.

Your website design is shared as a clickable mockup with a video explaining my thinking!
You can explore the layout, test buttons, and get a real feel for how it will all look and work before we build anything.

Once the design is approved, I’ll bring your site to life in either Squarespace or Shopify. This includes custom CSS tweaks where needed to make sure everything looks and works just right.
