Website Development

I want you fully empowered to manage your website in a way that’s easy and manageable, so I only develop utilizing Squarespace. The combination of ease of use, annual cost, and learning materials make it my recommendation for professionals who’s time is more valuable elsewhere.

  • For months, I dragged my feet on creating a website for my writing business because I had no idea where to begin. Then, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with Esperance Creative. Over just a couple weeks, Sarah deftly guided me through the process of brainstorming content, refining my brand, and getting my website up and running. I am so excited about the beautiful, professional website Sarah created to showcase and promote my work. Sarah is talented, knowledgeable, and patient, and even managed to make a project I dreaded a lot of fun. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Esperance Creative for your website and other business needs.

Project Scope

Brand development, including a basic brand document with final delivery of the project

  • Website development utilizing Squarespace*
    (excludes graphic design; Squarespace costs responsibility of the creative: https://www.squarespace.com/pricing)

  • Brand cultivation and facilitation

  • Content coaching

  • Two rounds of edits

  • Domain setup in Squarespace or transfer from an outside provider

*Please note: in my determination, Squarespace is the best combination of the things I believe my clients need. I don’t want clients to be on the hook for a hundred dollars or more in a maintenance fee to us just to be able to make updates—I want you to love working with me, but not be committed to it in the future. Squarespace provides professional and fresh template options, with an administrative interface that’s easy for non-technical people to use. No coding knowledge required! Happy—but empowered—clients are my goal.

However, I may receive a small commission as participants in the Squarespace Circle program for vendors. This participation also gets you, my clients:

  • Trial period longer than the standard two weeks;

  • discount off the first year’s subscription fee;

  • discount off add-on services like email, products, or scheduling.

Project Fee

$500 flat, plus $60/hr should the project exceed 10 hours.
