6 Reasons Why You Should Hire a Squarespace Web Designer
Did you know that there are over 1 BILLION websites in existence today? How will yours stand out? Chances are, if you have zero experience designing a website, it won’t. That’s why so many businesses are hiring website designers to take the lead and create websites that get noticed. Designers typically create websites using website building platforms because it allows their clients to have a full CMS (Content Management System) where they can log in and easily update their content. Squarespace is arguably the most popular website building platform available today. Good news! There are a bunch of quality Squarespace Designers to choose from. So here’s 6 reasons why you should consider hiring a Squarespace Website Designer today…
1. A Squarespace Designer will take your ideas and turn them into a tangible website that CONVERTS
Designers are well aware that you, as a business owner, have ideas for what you want your website to look like. We’re here to listen to those ideas and turn the vision into a reality. I love to keep my clients involved throughout the entire website build. I do so by periodically sending pages for review. This allows my clients to be as fully engaged in the process as they would like to be. It also allows them to share their ideas and ask for modifications such as color & font changes or the changes to the layout of a page. Your ideas matter. And we’re here to bring those ideas to life.
“I really appreciate everything you’ve done. You really nailed it with the colors, fonts, details, and layout. Thank you for listening to my requests so well!”
2. A Squarespace Designer can implement custom CSS and JavaScript
Many Squarespace designers also know how to write CSS and JavaScript. This means that they’re able to take any Squarespace template and completely customize the appearance and functionality of it to fit your branding and your business needs.
“To say that I am satisfied with the work Elise performed would be an understatement. Her communication, follow-through, commitment, and Squarespace skills are exemplary and I encourage you to hire her for your Squarespace or HTML editing project!”
3. Hiring a Squarespace Designer will save you SO much time!
Squarespace designers build websites on a daily basis. They know the ins and outs of the platform and most are able to build brand new websites in only a couple of weeks. A lot of my clients come to me stressed because they’ve been trying to build a website on their own for months (sometimes even years!). I promise to fully design and build all of my client’s websites within 2 weeks (from the project start date). And then that’s it! Your website is launched and you’re able to kick back and relax.
“Thanks again for all your generous time, great communication and bringing our vision to life. It took me a long time (probably a couple months) to find someone who would take what we had and finish it, instead of starting over... thank you for that.”
4. A Squarespace Designer will implement best practices for user experience
A website is nothing without a good user experience. This involves building the website navigation and layout of pages in a way that is easy for anyone to understand and interact with. A Squarespace Designer knows exactly what it takes to create a seamless user experience.
5. Our expertise with the platform is unmatched
The amount of tutorials, youtube videos, etc.. out there about designing a website on Squarespace is great. But as I mentioned, Squarespace designers build websites on a daily basis. Many of us have been doing this for several years. We know the platform like the back of our hand. We can answer questions you’ve been searching for the answer to for weeks. Plus, were able to make sure that all of the technical stuff is handled for you - 301 redirects, image metadata, optimized URL slugs and more.
6. Search Engine Optimization
An excellent Squarespace Designer will not only design and build a brand new website for you. But they’ll actually help get traffic to your new site. Traffic comes from SEO (Search Engine Optimization). And only the best will include this in their web design services. A good website designer will perform keyword research based on your target audience. Then, they’ll inject those keywords throughout your sitemap, optimize your images, set you up with a content marketing strategy and so much more. These techniques will help get your website in front of your target audience. Because what’s the point of having a beautiful new website if no one can find it?
