About Kelly Morton
I Love Building Websites

I’m a big ‘ol dork for creating websites. I’m obsessed.

Kelly Morton smiles warmly at the camera. She has glasses.

Hey, I’m Kelly Morton, founder of Looking Glass Creative. I’m a custom Squarespace designer, digital strategist, and former book publishing person. I'm so glad you're here.

I craft beautiful, intuitive, easy-to-use Squarespace websites for authors, creatives, small businesses, and people doing work with heart. You know, the dreamers, the doers, the people who still believe in stardust and good storytelling. If that’s you, then hi. Let’s make something magic.

Before this life ...

I spent over a decade in publishing, eventually becoming Head of Digital Marketing for one of Australia’s biggest publishers. I created digital strategies that helped authors, publishers, and online book communities grow and thrive. I loved that job, but when the universe gave me a nudge (okay, a redundancy) at the same time my dad was diagnosed with cancer, everything changed.

Losing stability and facing the hardest thing life can throw at you makes you ask: What do I really want?

For me, it was clear, I wanted to help good people tell great stories online. Websites became my medium.

I see websites as elegant puzzles ...

…and I love solving them. With a blend of strategy, design, storytelling, and nerdy Squarespace tricks (including custom code and SEO), I help people like you bring their vision to life. Websites shouldn’t feel overwhelming—they should feel like home.

Also, a fun fact: one of my site designs was featured in a DesignRush roundup of top entertainment websites. That was pretty great.

The heart of it?

Stories matter. They connect us, they move us, and they're at the centre of everything we build. I’d be honoured to help you tell yours and build a website that helps your people find you.

Let’s make something wonderful together.

I create stylish websites with soul, crafted for people doing meaningful things.

Throughout my years in publishing, I worked on campaigns for Stephen King, Jodi Picoult, Kate Morton (no relation), Cassandra Clare, John Grisham, Neil Gaiman, J.K. Rowling and so many Beatle books that made my little Beatle-loving heart sing.

Gosh. I’ve been lucky.

What else would you like to know?

Besides being a Squarespace designer living in Australia:

  • I’m a proud Beatlemaniac.

  • I love old movies, animals, history and words.

  • My dog Mikey is my best mate. He’s 14 years old now!

  • I have a weekly newsletter with bestselling author Belinda Alexandra: theintentionalist.substack.com (I’d love you to sign up below).

  • I have a very loud and very silly laugh.

  • My favourite movie? It’s a three-way tie between Charlie Chaplin’s The Kid, Drop Dead Fred and A League of Their Own (What’s yours?)

  • In my spare time, I love making earrings and goodies with a nostalgic nod: Good Bygone Designs and also gear for Lawn Bowl lovers (this one is inspired by my dad).

Me and my best boy
