Many websites look polished but still struggle to generate leads, convert visitors into clients, or clearly communicate the value behind the business. A website should do more than simply exist online, it should help build trust, support growth, and guide visitors toward action.
I help businesses create and optimize high-converting websites that are strategically structured to improve user experience, strengthen brand credibility, increase engagement, and support real business goals.
My work combines Squarespace web design, web development, UX/UI design, responsive design, SEO optimization, and website customization to create websites that are not only visually strong, but also built with performance, usability, and conversions in mind.
Whether youโre launching a new business, improving an existing website, expanding your online presence, or migrating platforms, the focus remains the same:
โ Clear messaging that communicates value quickly
โ Better user flow that guides visitors toward action
โ Conversion-focused design that supports business growth
โ Mobile optimization across all devices
โ SEO-friendly structure for visibility and reach
โ Scalable website systems built for long-term growth
As a Squarespace Web Designer and Developer, I build websites that help businesses attract the right audience, improve engagement, and turn more visitors into inquiries, bookings, and customers.
WHAT IMPROVES WHEN WE WORK TOGETHER:
โฆ Your website communicates your services more clearly and professionally
โฆ Visitors understand your value faster and take action more confidently
โฆ Your structure and user flow encourage more inquiries and conversions
โฆ Your website performs smoothly across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices
โฆ Your online presence feels more strategic, credible, and conversion-focused
โฆ Your website becomes easier to manage and scale over time
I WORK WITH:
โ Squarespace website design and web development
โ Custom Web Design for service-based businesses, coaches, consultants, creatives, and ecommerce brands
โ Squarespace Landing pages designed for conversions and lead generation
โ Ecommerce setup and optimization
โ Squarespace Web Development using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
โ SEO optimization, keyword strategy, and on-page improvements
โ Mobile-first responsive design and performance optimization
โ Platform migrations (WordPress, Shopify, Wix โ Squarespace)
โ Template customization, layout structuring, and brand alignment
โ Website troubleshooting, fixes, and ongoing support
โญ WHY CLIENTS WORK WITH ME:
โ 5-star client feedback
โ Experience across website builds, optimization projects, and migrations
โ Strong understanding of conversion-focused UX/UI design
โ Clear communication, structured workflow, and reliable delivery
โ Focus on performance, usability, and long-term website growth
Many businesses already have a website, but it often lacks the structure, clarity, user experience, or optimization needed to convert visitors effectively. Common issues include unclear messaging, poor mobile experience, weak user flow, slow-loading pages, outdated layouts, or websites that fail to reflect the quality of the business itself.
I solve these problems through a strategic combination of UX/UI design, SEO optimization, mobile optimization, CSS enhancements, and conversion-focused website structure.
Rather than building generic websites, I focus on creating websites that support real business goals whether that means generating more qualified leads, increasing conversions, improving bookings, strengthening trust, or building a stronger online presence.
RESULTS I PRIORITIZE:
โ Higher-quality leads and stronger conversion rates
โ Better-performing landing pages and website structure
โ Cleaner UX that improves engagement and usability
โ Fast, mobile-optimized websites built for scalability
โ A stronger digital presence that builds trust instantly
โ Websites designed to support long-term business growth
Every project also includes post-launch support for refinements, troubleshooting, guidance, and smooth transition after delivery.
Send over your project details or website link, and Iโll help you identify the best strategy to improve performance, user experience, and conversions.

Client Spotlight:
A business owner came to me mid-divorce, managing a team, and completely unable to focus. Revenue had plateaued for two years. Within 90 days we restructured her priorities, worked through the emotional weight she had been carrying into every sales conversation, and rebuilt her week around her actual capacity. She signed three new clients that quarter, her best in four years.
This is the work. It's not just strategy. It's the whole person.
All sessions are private, 1:1, and conducted virtually via Zoom.
If you're ready to stop spinning your wheels and start building with real momentum, send me a message. I work with a small number of clients at a time so I can give you my full attention. Let's find out if we're a fit.

Most Amazon KDP rejections come down to margins, trim size, fonts, or a broken table of contents. I catch all four before upload, and fix anything KDP flags afterward, free, until it clears.
Hi, I'm Candice. I know exactly where you are right now.
You've written the book. You've edited it, re-read it so many times you could recite it. Now you're staring at formatting like it's a language you don't speak especially amidst margins, bleed, trim size, gutter, embedded fonts, clickable TOC, widows and orphans. You shouldn't have to learn any of that. That's my job.
What I do:
I take your manuscript and build it into a properly structured book for Kindle, paperback, or both formatted to meet KDP's actual technical requirements: correct trim dimensions, mirrored margins with proper gutter width, embedded fonts, working navigation. I also design the cover, so the interior and cover come from one production instead of two disconnected files that don't match in tone or trim. If KDP's previewer flags a technical issue after upload, I fix it at no extra charge until it clears.
Why formatting causes more rejections than authors expect:
The short list of avoidable mistakes: wrong trim dimensions, margins that don't account for the spine, a table of contents with broken links, fonts that silently fail to embed, missing front matter. I check for all of these before your file ever reaches KDP.
On the cover:
A cover has to work at four different sizes. The full print size, the online store thumbnail, a mobile screen, and the spine. I design with genre conventions and thumbnail readability in mind from the first draft, not as an afterthought once the full-size version looks nice. For print, I build it to your exact trim size and page count so the spine width and bleed are correct the first time, no back-and-forth after KDP calculates your spine measurement.
On copyright: if your interior or cover uses stock elements, fonts, or Canva assets, not everything in those libraries is licensed for commercial book publishing, KDP can and does ask for proof of rights. I only use original or properly licensed elements, so you're not exposed there.
What you receive:
A print-ready PDF for KDP or IngramSpark, a clean EPUB for Kindle and other platforms, a print and ebook cover built to spec, working clickable navigation, correct spine-aware margins, chapters starting on the right page, no widows or orphans, embedded fonts, properly formatted front/back matter, plus your source files and a plain-English readme for uploading.
Where I specialize: beyond standard fiction and non-fiction interiors, I also handle structured, image- and layout-heavy books, including children's workbooks, where consistent formatting across dozens of near-identical pages matters more than in a standard novel.
Tools: InDesign for complex layouts with images or charts, Vellum/Atticus or Kindle Create for straightforward fiction and non-fiction, Word when that's genuinely the right fit. I use whatever the book actually needs.
To get an accurate quote fast, send me your word count, intended trim size (or tell me the genre and I'll recommend one), and whether you need ebook, print, or both. I'll also ask if you have an ISBN yet or need guidance there.
