Squarespace Website Designer Needed for Premium Children’s Storytelling Brand

Project Overview I am launching a new children’s storytelling brand called Brave Like Them. Our mission is to inspire children through beautifully illustrated true stories of brave people from Pakistan and around the world. Our first book, Brave Like Her: 10 Pakistani Women Who Changed the World, is currently being prepared for publication. I already own: * BraveLikeThem.com * Squarespace website account * Brand direction * Book cover and illustrations * Social media accounts This website will serve as the foundation for a long-term children’s storytelling brand and future book series, so strong branding, storytelling and user experience are just as important as technical implementation. I am looking for a talented Squarespace designer who can create a premium, emotionally warm, child-friendly website that feels magical, inspiring and professionally branded. Style Direction The visual style should feel: * Premium children’s publishing * Storybook-inspired * Warm and welcoming * Soft watercolor aesthetic * Elegant and uncluttered * Suitable for both children and parents Visual inspiration includes: * Disney-style storytelling * Beautiful children’s publishing websites * Watercolor illustration * Soft pinks, plums, warm ivory and gold accents The brand should feel proudly rooted in Pakistan while also appealing to a global audience. A homepage mockup and book cover are attached to communicate the visual direction. Additional sample interior pages will be shared with shortlisted candidates. Website Pages Required Home Page Including: * Hero section * Brand mission * Featured book section * Meet the Brave Women section * Newsletter signup * Coming Soon section (future books, videos and activities) * Social media links About Page Story behind Brave Like Them and the author. Books Page Showcasing current and future books in the series. Individual Book Page Dedicated page for Brave Like Her. Including: * Book overview * Cover * Featured women * Purchase links (to be added later) Contact Page Simple contact form and contact details. Newsletter Signup Connected to Squarespace email marketing. Future Growth The website should be designed with future expansion in mind, including: * Additional books * Read-aloud videos and animations * Children’s activities * Parent resources * Teacher resources * Community/newsletter growth Technical Requirements * Squarespace platform only * Mobile responsive * Easy for me to update later * SEO-friendly structure * Fast loading * Clean modern design Please only apply if you have significant experience designing and building websites directly within Squarespace. Multilingual Consideration As the brand has a strong connection to Pakistan, I would like the website to be designed with future Urdu-language support in mind. At this stage, the website will be built in English, but the structure should allow for a future Urdu version and simple language switching. Deliverables * Fully designed Squarespace website * All pages built * Mobile optimisation * Basic SEO setup * Guidance on updating content To Apply Please send: 1. Examples of Squarespace websites you have designed. 2. Children’s brand, publishing, education or storytelling websites if available. 3. Your estimated timeline. 4. Your fixed-price quote. 5. A brief explanation of how you would approach the homepage and overall user experience for this brand. Shortlisted candidates may be asked to provide a simple homepage concept, moodboard or creative direction before selection. Please note: I am looking for a designer who can help build a memorable children’s storytelling brand, not simply assemble pages within Squarespace. Please begin your proposal with the words: “Brave Stories” so I know you have read the project description. Thank you.
