6 Reasons to Hire a Squarespace Freelancer for Web Design
If you're reading this post, I'm sure you're looking for a fast, affordable, and efficient way to redo your online presence or finally launch that side business or passion project you've been working so hard on. Why choose Squarespace, and why work with a Squarespace Circle Member? I mean, isn't WordPress the go-to platform? That's not always the case.
Squarespace is a web design platform and content management system (CMS) used to grow your business online. It offers a seamless experience for the end-user and is easily customizable by you and your team to make live updates at any time.
As a freelancer for web design, my Squarespace Circle credential means that I have proven experience using the Squarespace platform, have access to updates in advance, and am given priority support with the Squarespace support team. If techy stuff isn't your thing, scroll down to learn why you should hire someone else to do your web design for you.
3 Client Benefits from Working with a Squarespace Circle Member
20% OFF YOUR SQUARESPACE SUBSCRIPTION (FOR THE FIRST YEAR)
When you work with a Squarespace Circle Web Designer, you receive 20% off your first year on the platform. I'd typically recommend getting started with the Business Plan. Review Squarespace's Plans here.
6 MONTH SITE TRIAL PERIODS
A typical user only gets 14 days before paying for a subscription. When a Circle Member starts your website trial for you, you get a free 6-month trial instead of 2 weeks. This gives you and your designer flexibility and ample time to ensure everything is perfect before your launch date.
20% OFF ACUITY SCHEDULING
Say goodbye to email threads and last-minute texts. When you set up Acuity Scheduling through Squarespace, not only do you get 20% off for your first year from working with a Squarespace Circle member, but you are streamlining your business to set yourself up for success. Clients can book appointments or classes through your unique scheduling link and page.
3 Pros of Hiring a Squarespace Designer to Do The Work for You
BUILDING A NEW WEBSITE TAKES TIME THAT YOU DON'T HAVE
Building a website takes a lot of time, and if web design is outside of your comfort zone, you have a long road ahead of you. Hiring a Squarespace Designer to do the work for you allows you to focus on aspects of your business that you enjoy and can save you money in the long run.
IT'S NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO BE OBJECTIVE ABOUT YOUR OWN BUSINESS
Working with a third party increases clarity and reduces mistakes. Let fresh eyes get a birds-eye view of your business or organization to catch anything you might have missed because of how "in it" you are. A web designer can help educate you on best practices and recommend tweaks to your website to benefit your client's user experience.
A SQUARESPACE DESIGNER IS EDUCATED IN CSS AND SEO
Unless you've taken courses on CSS and SEO before, there are skills a professional Squarespace designer has that took time and money to develop. Advanced coding skills let your designer build websites that go beyond a templated look.
