Portfolio websites for the Design & build industry

A high-end website for businesses that design and build beautiful spaces.

I design custom Squarespace websites for architects, interior designers and luxury home builders. With a focus on structure, clarity, and visual polish, each site is tailored to elevate your business, attract the right clients, and showcase your work with the attention to detail it deserves.

Why Squarespace Suits Design-Led Businesses

Squarespace offers a refined, image-forward platform that suits visual, detail-driven businesses. It is easy to maintain, performs well across devices, and is ideal for showcasing architectural, interior, and building projects.

As you know, great design is never just about how it looks. A website should balance form and function. It needs to reflect the quality of your projects, support the way you work, and leave a lasting impression.

Each of our websites is built with intention. The structure, layout and visual direction are tailored to your brand, designed to guide visitors through your work and encourage the right enquiries.

It should also make your life easier. Automating enquiries, filtering out tyre-kickers, and saving you from unnecessary admin.

How our approach is different from other Squarespace designers

Your preferences, goals, and ideas guide every step of the process. I balance them with user experience and best practices to create a website you’ll catch yourself scrolling through like a proud new parent, quietly amazed it’s yours.

I use custom code to go beyond standard templates and built-in settings, refining layouts, spacing, and design elements so your site feels polished, purposeful and memorable.

You still get the ease and flexibility Squarespace is known for, with a fully custom result that reflects the quality of your work and your design aesthetic.

FAQ

  • Our 1-page Squarespace website starts at AUD 2,420, and a 5-page Squarespace website starts shy of AUD 5,000.

    After we’ve had a Zoom chat, I’ll provide a tailored solution based on your business needs and goals.

    Even if your site is already on Squarespace, redesigning and restructuring it properly is in most instances a full project. Think of it like a renovation, not a rearrangement.

  • Every website is custom-built to reflect your brand and support your goals. While the details vary from project to project, you can expect:

    • Strategic page structure based on your services and client journey

    • Custom Squarespace design aligned with your visual identity

    • Flexible project and portfolio layouts to showcase your work

    • Copy planning and image direction to keep everything cohesive

    • Clear calls to action to support your enquiry process

    • Optimised for mobile, usability and image quality

    • A streamlined, collaborative process with clear communication throughout

  • The design and build process takes around 2 to 4 weeks.

    All content, including copy, images and any supporting materials, must be finalised before design begins. This keeps the project running smoothly and ensures the site is built with clarity and purpose.

    If you're not sure where to start, I’ll guide you through the content planning process and help you structure everything clearly. If you need extra support with writing or brand messaging, I can recommend trusted collaborators.

    The timeline also includes space for feedback and refinements, so we keep things moving without feeling rushed.

  • Your Squarespace subscription and domain registration are not included in my pricing. Squarespace automatically handles security updates and maintenance, and their customer support is excellent.

    I also provide custom training videos so you (or your team) can confidently update your site—meaning no ongoing retainer fees from me.

    And don’t worry about security—SSL certificates are included with all Squarespace plans, and I’ll make sure yours is properly installed before launch.

  • If you have a launch date in mind, reach out ASAP! I’m typically booked 6–8 weeks in advance, which gives you plenty of time to gather your content.

    If you need branding, copywriting, or photography services, keep in mind that your project can’t start until those elements are ready—so the sooner we chat, the better!

  • At a minimum, you’ll need:

    • Your visual brand assets (logos, fonts, colour palette)

    • Professional project photography and headshots &/or brand imagery

    • Website copy (I highly recommend hiring a pro for this!)

    I’ve written a blog about why these elements matter—read it here.

  • Absolutely! These are specialised skills, and I work closely with trusted professionals in each field. Depending on your style, needs, and budget, I’ll connect you with the right expert.

  • Squarespace is powerful, but without custom code, many sites look the same. I use coding strategically to enhance your design and functionality while keeping things simple to manage.

  • Squarespace is SEO-friendly, but great SEO goes beyond just the platform.

    There are three key SEO roles:

    1. SEO copywriter – Writes keyword-optimised content in your brand’s voice

    2. SEO web designer (me!) – Ensures proper site structure, image optimisation, heading hierarchy, mobile responsiveness, and other technical elements

    3. SEO strategist – Focuses on ongoing improvements like backlink building, local SEO, and analytics

    If ranking well on Google is a top priority, I highly recommend investing in professional SEO copywriting as part of your website project.

  • Yes! I make sure your site is easy to update, and I’ll provide custom training videos so you can confidently make changes. No tech overwhelm here.

  • You won’t be left hanging! After launch, you’ll get:

    • Custom training videos for easy updates

    • 30 days of email support for post-launch questions

    • The option for ongoing support if you ever need tweaks or updates
