Squarespace Web Designer & Content Specialist
Kansas City, Kansas
$100/hr$100 per hour5.0 (8) 18 jobs $10K+ total earnings
You have a strong business, but your website and content may not fully reflect the quality of what you offer.
Maybe your site feels outdated, difficult to update, or confusing for potential clients. Maybe people are visiting your website but are not booking, joining your email list, or understanding what makes your studio, service, or coaching offer different. Or maybe you simply do not have the time to manage your website, write content, create marketing materials, and keep everything visually consistent.
That is where I come in.
I help studio owners, coaches, wellness professionals, creatives, and service-based businesses create polished Squarespace websites and strategic content that make their businesses easier to understand, trust, and book.
My approach combines thoughtful design with clear messaging. I look at the full client journeyโfrom the moment someone lands on your website to the point where they inquire, schedule, purchase, or join your community.
I can help with:
โข Custom Squarespace website design
โข Website redesigns and refreshes
โข Service, pricing, sales, and landing pages
โข Mobile optimization
โข Custom CSS and code enhancements
โข Booking and scheduling integrations
โข Website copywriting and content organization
โข Email newsletters and promotional campaigns
โข Social media content and branded graphics
โข Lead magnets, PDFs, workbooks, and marketing materials
โข Brand colors, typography, and visual direction
I have experience supporting Pilates and fitness studios, wellness brands, educators, coaches, creatives, and other service-based businesses. My projects have included complete website builds, outdated website transformations, booking-platform integrations, launch campaigns, pricing-page organization, email sequences, social media graphics, course materials, and branded client resources.
Clients often come to me when they are struggling with:
โข A website that no longer feels aligned with their business
โข Too many services or offers that are difficult to explain clearly
โข A confusing booking or inquiry process
โข Inconsistent branding across their website and content
โข Limited time to manage marketing and design themselves
โข A DIY website that does not feel polished or professional
โข Content that looks beautiful but does not guide people to take action
You do not need another generic template or disconnected piece of content. You need a clear, cohesive online presence that supports the way your business is growing.
When you work with me, you can expect thoughtful communication, attention to detail, strategic recommendations, and a final product that feels elevated, intentional, and true to your brand.
Whether you need a complete Squarespace website, a focused refresh, ongoing website support, or content that helps your business stay visible and connected, I am here to make the process feel easier.
