Why You Should Hire A Web Designer to Finish Your DIY Squarespace Website

Getting help from a professional web designer doesn’t mean that your many hours of hard work is wasted on your DIY Squarespace website! 

In fact, working with a professional web designer will: 

  • Affirm what you’ve already done that’s working. (Well done!)

  • Provide clarity with direct expertise and technical skill. (Skills that You didn’t have spend hours learning yourself)

  • Add to & refine your website strategy to genuinely connect with dream clients immediately. (When the skill is already there, we get to spend more time on what will actually move the needle.)

And, one of the best parts about hiring a professional web designer for your Squarespace website? 

Getting your time back.


That 2 hour fix (that you hopefully found the right YouTube tutorial for?)…Probably took me, all of  2 seconds. And it was fixed with big-picture goals at top of mind.

If you have experienced taking 12 hours or up to 3-6 months just to create a single landing page or simple 2-3 page website for your business that doesn’t even feel like it’s caught your vision…

I can do that for you in 8 hours. 

Your business gets found faster when it’s online & designed to intuitively attract your ideal clients. 

Here’s what we did in a single VIP Design Day (our most popular day rate design service) for one of our fave clients, re-designing & completing their unfinished Squarespace website in a single day: 

Immramma Studio is an Embodiment & Wellness studio offering somatic, yoga, and community experiences, located in the heart of Wasilla, AK.

We have been so honored to design for them with a few VIP Design Days as their business has shifted with the seasons after their first one!

The owner had purchased a website template months before, but couldn’t find the time to customize it, and a lot of the template didn’t feel fully aligned with her brand. 

We have loved working with Immramma Collective on their website!

What we did in their first VIP Design Day with us:

  • We started with 3 base pages, redesigning & infusing their brand into the parts of the template that felt right—designing some sections and pages from scratch to follow a more specific strategy. 

  • We integrated their MindBody App scheduler (a common scheduling tool for yoga & fitness studios), customizing their services page to help new students explore their offerings & packages intuitively.

  • Ensured that their website followed best SEO best practices for best local reach online. They had new students within a month from organic searches! (For reference, reach can take as long 6-9 months to see results, especially for brand new sites. This was huge!)

  • We created basic bonus page that acted like a career page, but felt like a warm invitation to aligned practitioners to work at their studio, along with a customized inquiry form to make connection effortless.

We launched their website successfully at the end of our 8 hours together. 

Equipped with everything needed to have a strong presence, feel uniquely like them, and offer a seamless experience to book a class. 

And, they returned a few months later for a second VIP Design Day to strategically shift with their refined written content, add more pages, and to further build out their About Page to include bio pages of their practitioners & mission of the studio.

Because when your website is finally up & going, it gets easier to refine it over time with strategy & intention.

And this is just one example. 

Working with a professional web designer increases your chances of booking clients sooner, and maximizes your time of getting online quicker, and getting FOUND. 

Launching with a strategy & with a website that you feel and know is representing your brand in the best way possible.

More Squarespace website tasks that we’ve completed for our VIP Day clients:

  • Added a Squarespace Blog Page (and in cases that they already had posts ready to go, we could add up 5-10 posts.

    Built for them, following SEO best practices, tagged, and categorized 

  • Adding more web pages (or removing some to streamline their website overall.

    As your business grows, you may need more pages to enhance the experience and ensure your potential client feels informed of what you do. Or we can steamline & combine pages to de-clutter how we guide them through your website. And easy to use website with personality is always our goal.

  • Updating or adding Foundational SEO.

    We can help you clean up Headers, refine and add meta descriptions, Title Tags, optimize photos to increase loading speed, review your mobile-view design, add alt-text for accessibility and readability for google to scan and rank you. Depending on scope, this can take 1/2 a day- 2 days. 

  • Update your website with new Web Copy.

    If you have been working with a copywriter, or DIY’ing new copy that strategically speaks to your dream client, we’ll make sure it gets on your website, following best practices and flowing in your design. 

  • Build the day & tasks uniquely to what you need. The possibilities are endless.

If you are a small business owner that is transitioning from “I do it all” to “I delegate support where I need it, to grow faster” then I would love to support your transformation into CEO. 

VIP Design Days allow you to focus on your big picture and get a day that fills your cup & moves the needle forward.. 

We take care of the tedious details and bring the technical skills and expertise to advise and move you forward. 

The most common response that we get from our clients (other than they felt like everything they wanted + more was executed effectively & efficiently) is that their VIP Design Days felt like a spa day for themselves. 

Power moves don’t need to drain you, hiring a professional is the best investment you didn’t know you needed; into your energy & time doing what you love. 

Ready to get your time back & focus more on what you really love? 

Because with a VIP Design Day you get our full attention for 8 hours, getting the tasks done…but we’d love for you to sit back & relax–or go focus on what you do best!

We think it’s time to get your VIP Design Day on the calendar.
