You can run it without a developer
Words, images, prices, hours, new blog posts, new pages from existing layouts: all yours after handover. The custom sections are the one part we ask you to leave to us, and we show you exactly which those are.

Squarespace Website Designer North East England.
You have already decided on Squarespace. Good choice for most North East businesses: you can edit it yourself, it does not need a developer to keep alive, and it costs what it says. What you need now is someone local who builds past the template. The site you are reading is Squarespace, with every section built as custom code on top. That is what we hand over.

01The platform
Why Squarespace for your business
Squarespace is the right answer for most small and mid-sized businesses in the region, for reasons that have nothing to do with how it looks out of the box.
It costs what it says
Squarespace bills its own plan to you directly. No hosting surprises, no plugin licences, no annual “maintenance” invoice from an agency.
It ranks when it is built properly
The technical basics are handled by the platform. Titles, descriptions, schema and redirects are not, and most Squarespace sites leave them empty. We fill them in.
It does not have to look like Squarespace
Custom code blocks, brand typography, quiet motion and a structure Google can read. This page is the proof: it is Squarespace underneath.
A local designer, a live link, no meetings needed
Squarespace lets us share a live draft from week one. We are in County Durham and work across the North East; most builds run entirely over email.

Start nowWhat it is made of
Three layers. You only ever see the top one.
Squarespace runs it and bills you directly. A template gives it bones. The custom layer is what your customers see, and it is the part that makes this site look nothing like the tens of thousands built on the same template.

What we build
01
Bespoke Squarespace builds
A template chosen for its bones, then rebuilt on top with custom code blocks so it looks like your business and nobody else’s.
- Custom code sections
- Brand typography and colour
- Motion that is quiet, not a gimmick
02
Squarespace SEO setup
Titles, descriptions, headings, image alt, schema, sitemap, redirects. The defaults leave most of this empty; we fill it in as part of every build.
- Local business schema
- Google Business Profile matched
- Redirect map on migration
03
Migrations to Squarespace
Leaving Wix, WordPress or an agency-locked platform. We move the content, keep the URLs that rank, and hand you the keys.
- Content moved, not retyped
- Rankings kept via redirects
- Old site off only when the new one is verified

Fixes and refreshes
A Squarespace site you built yourself that has drifted. We tidy the structure, fix the mobile layout, and add the custom sections it is missing.

- Keep what works
- Same-week turnaround on small fixes
