Frequently asked questions

How much does a Squarespace website cost?

A custom Squarespace website starts at $5,000 for up to 7 pages with SEO built in, and a 5-page Mini Website starts at $4,000. If you’ve already started a site with AI or a template, Finish Your Site starts at $1,500. A new brand and website together starts at $7,500. Every project gets a written proposal with the exact investment before we start.

How long does a website take?

Most custom websites take 6 to 8 weeks once your content is ready. Finish Your Site takes about 2 weeks, and brand projects take 3 to 5 weeks. The biggest factor is how quickly copy, photos and feedback come in. Your proposal includes a week-by-week schedule.

Do you work with clients outside Colorado?

Yes. Most of my clients are outside Colorado, and many are on the East Coast. Meetings happen over Zoom and the whole process runs online. I’m based just south of Denver, so local clients are welcome to meet in person.

What’s included in a brand identity package?

Brand Essentials includes a primary logo, secondary logo, submark, color palette, typography, favicon and a brand style guide, starting at $2,000. The Brand Identity package adds positioning, voice and messaging, tagline options, business cards and social templates, starting at $3,500.

Do you offer SEO?

Yes. Every website I build includes SEO and AEO foundations: page titles, descriptions, headings, alt text, schema and Google Search Console. For sites that are already live, the SEO & AEO Audit reviews your site and fixes the highest-priority issues. It starts at $1,750.

What is AEO?

AEO stands for answer engine optimization. It helps AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews understand your business and recommend it in their answers. It relies on clear page structure, direct answers to common questions and schema markup, and it works alongside traditional SEO.

Can you fix a website I started myself or built with AI?

Yes. That’s what Finish Your Site is for. I review what you have, polish up to 5 pages, fix mobile issues and set up SEO basics, then launch it. It starts at $1,500 and takes about 2 weeks.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. Most projects are split into two or three payments, with a deposit to reserve your spot on the calendar. Your proposal lays out the schedule.

Can I update my website myself?

Yes. Every site comes with a recorded training session, and Squarespace is easy to edit once you know where things are. If you’d rather hand it off, a Well Kept plan covers updates each month.

Why Squarespace?

Squarespace is easy to update, includes hosting and security, and has strong SEO tools built in. For most small businesses it’s the best balance of polish and simplicity. As a Squarespace Circle member, I build on it every day.
