I got into Squarespace almost by accident honestly. A friend needed a website, I said I would figure it out, and I never really stopped after that. What started as me tinkering around with templates quickly turned into a full on specialization once I realized how powerful the platform actually is when you know what you are doing with it. Over the years I have worked with all kinds of clients, small business owners, coaches, consultants, service providers, creatives, you name it. A good portion of my work has been helping coaches and consultants build websites that actually speak to the people they are trying to reach, not just pretty pages but sites that communicate trust, authority and personality all at once. That balance is something I have gotten really good at understanding. SEO is another big part of what I do. A lot of people build beautiful websites and then wonder why nobody is finding them. I help clients understand that design and visibility have to work together, not separately. I handle everything from site structure and page titles to metadata, image optimization and making sure the content is laid out in a way that search engines actually reward. I also do a lot of fixes and troubleshooting work which honestly taught me more about Squarespace than anything else. When something is broken and a client is panicking, you learn the platform at a completely different level. It has made me sharper and a lot more confident in what I can deliver. Every project I take on I treat like it is my own. I care about timelines, I care about communication and I genuinely care about the results my clients get after we are done working together. That is what keeps people coming back and referring others.
