Squarespace is a website platform that lets you design, update, and manage your site without needing to know how to code.

It’s all-in-one, which means your domain, hosting, and design tools all live under one roof.

I often add code to customize my websites, but that’s a preference you get to decide when we talk about how you plan to use and update your website during your project kick-off call.

All you need to know right now, is that I choose Squarespace so that if you want the ability to maintain and update your website yourself, you can do so easily. And, if you’d rather have a tailored website with unique customizations, I have the tools to create that inside Squarespace.

I can! You’ll just need to be open to switching over.

I design on Squarespace because it’s reliable, easy to maintain, and gives small businesses the right balance of flexibility and simplicity.

If your current site lives somewhere else (like Wix or WordPress), I’ll help you transfer your content and get settled into your new digital home. (I’ll also tell you if you switching over to Squarespace is not the best option for you, because truthfully, ecommerce businesses are generally better suited to Shopify).

I am currently expanding my website offers to include the option to build on ShowIt, so if you like to learn more about when that will be available, email me and I can share the details!

Nope! Squarespace makes editing super simple. You’ll be able to change text, swap out photos, add new pages, or update your services without worrying about breaking anything.

I’ll also walk you through how to use everything before we launch so you feel confident managing your new site.

Destination Websites do often need extra coding to achieve the design you’re looking for, so I hold space on my calendar for returning clients to book periodic design updates when needed.

Professional photos are definitely recommended, but not a requirement. Your photo needs will depend on your industry and site style. Once I know the goals of your website, I can help you make the most of what you already have and fill in any gaps with high-quality stock images that fit your brand vibe. And if you’re planning a future brand shoot, I’ll give you pointers on what types of shots will make your new website shine.

Yes! Every website project includes on-page SEO to help your site get found on Google. That means I’ll take care of all the behind-the-scenes setup — like keywords, page titles, and meta descriptions — so your site launches with a strong foundation.

And if you’d like to keep building momentum, I also offer ongoing SEO-friendly writing (like blog content and page updates) exclusively for past Small Muse web clients. Each project comes with a custom proposal based on your goals and the scope of the work.

Yes, because most SEO best practices also help with AIO or GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) too.

Optimizing for AI search is about making sure your website is easy for LLM’s and AI Assistants to understand and pull information from.

To help with that, I focus on clear page structure, well-written and human-drafted copy, and organized content so AI knows your business exists and can point people to you. Like SEO, though, a lot of AIO is connected to things you’ll need to build over time, like client reviews, media mentions, and on-going content updates.

I can’t promise exactly how or where AI will show your site, but I build your site with best practices in mind so that you have a solid foundation to build from.

No problem at all.

Your domain can stay where it is, and we can connect it to your new Squarespace website if you prefer.

If you’d rather have everything live in one home, I’ll guide you through the domain transfer process so it’s smooth.

I currently use select AI tools for SEO research, code development, and some internal studio processes. I avoid using it in creating any client assets (writing, design, etc.) because I want clients to trust they are receiving high-quality, human-drafted materials.
