Squarespace & Showit Designer | Pretty + Practical Websites

Emily Lee: Squarespace & Showit Design / Website Strategy - 7+ years ✨ Bring me your website mess. I love this stuff. ✨ I help service providers, personal brands, and creatives turn websites they've outgrown (or ideas they haven't quite figured out yet) into polished, strategic Squarespace and Showit sites. Your website has a lot of jobs to do. It needs to look polished, make sense to your clients, support your business goals, work beautifully across devices, and ideally NOT become another thing on your to-do list forever :) Whether you're starting fresh, redesigning an outdated site, or trying to figure out why your current one just isn't cutting it, I'll help you sort through the moving pieces and create a clear plan forward. ➊ First, we figure out what your website actually needs. ➋ Then, I turn that strategy into a clean, elevated design that feels distinctive to your business. ➌ Finally, I make sure you know how to confidently use and maintain it after we're done. I've been designing websites professionally since 2019, with experience across wedding and event businesses, coaches and consultants, artists, photographers, authors, musicians, spiritual professionals, home service businesses, and plenty of other lovely humans in between. I'm also a Squarespace Circle member and Square Secrets Certified designer, with a background in visual arts and photography. Clean and elegant design is my sweet spot - but clean doesn't have to mean boring. I love finding the balance between polished, easy-to-navigate design and the details that give a business its own personality. In other words: I care a LOT about how your website looks, but never at the expense of how it works. My focus includes: 💻 Squarespace & Showit Design + Development 💻 Website Strategy, UX/UI & Mobile Optimization 💻 Website Redesigns, Refreshes & Ongoing Support 💻 Photo Sourcing, Curation & Optimization Need more specialized help? I also have trusted partners I can bring into projects for copywriting, brand design, and deeper SEO strategy when needed. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A few words from past clients: “Emily took my jumbled ideas and created a professional website that feels and looks amazing while totally capturing the fun, quirky vibe I was after.” “Emily approaches design from a business owner's perspective that incorporates sales strategy, copywriting strategy, branding considerations, and how to attract clients that are a good fit.” “She’s very focused & totally gets on board with the project and defines exactly what’s required by asking all the right questions.” “You are SO organized! You laid everything out in a step by step process that made the project achievable instead of overwhelming.” “The end result was beyond my imagination and I’m super happy with my new site!” Here's what else you can expect from me: ✔️ 7+ years of professional website design experience ✔️ Clear communication, organization & project management ✔️ Excellent command of the English language (U.S. & U.K.) ✔️ Strong knowledge of SEO & website best practices ✔️ An eye for both big-picture strategy and tiny design details ✔️ Honest recommendations based on what your website actually needs If you're looking for a Squarespace or Showit designer who can take your ideas, ask the right questions, and turn the whole thing into a website you're excited to send people to, I'd love to hear what you're working on!
