LOOKING GLASS CREATIVE SQUARESPACE WEBSITE DESIGN
VIP Squarespace Website in a Week
A calm, considered Squarespace website, built in one focused week
VIP Website in a Week, Squarespace website design, is perfect for both brand new websites and considered redesigns of existing Squarespace sites.
If your website feels outdated, messy, or overwhelming, this is a simple, supportive way to move forward.
I’m a Sydney-based Squarespace website designer, specialising in calm, SEO-ready websites built with care and clarity. My VIP Squarespace Website in a Week is designed for business owners, creatives, and authors who want a website they can feel proud of without dragging the process out for months or feeling lost along the way.
This is not a rushed template drop-in.
It’s a focused, thoughtful Squarespace website built with clear boundaries, guidance, and genuine care.
This is for you if:
✓ Your current website feels unclear, cluttered, or no longer reflects you
✓ You’ve been putting it off because the process feels overwhelming
✓ You want guidance and structure, not just a build
✓ You care about how your business shows up online
✓ You want something done properly, without chaos
This may not be for you if:
✓ You’re looking for the cheapest option available
✓ You’re not ready to make decisions or provide content
✓ You want an open-ended process or unlimited revisions
How it Works:
1. Thoughtful preparation (before build week)
You’ll receive guided pre-work, a clear questionnaire, and copy prompts so you know exactly what’s needed before we begin.
This stage removes guesswork and helps you feel confident and prepared.
2. One focused build week
Once everything is ready, I design and build your Squarespace website over one dedicated week.
Your project gets my full attention — it’s not squeezed in around others.
3. Review, refine, and handover
You’ll have a short, structured review period to refine details, followed by personalised video tutorials so you can confidently manage your website moving forward.

Pages and Scope:
The VIP Squarespace Website in a Week includes up to five core pages, which is ideal for most small businesses, creatives, and authors.
If your website needs additional pages, functionality, or extended SEO support, we’ll discuss this before booking so everything is clear and realistic.
Extra pages and add-ons are priced clearly and quoted upfront.
Investment:
VIP Squarespace Website in a Week starts from $4,995 AUD + GST
Final pricing depends on the size and needs of your site.
Optional add-ons such as copywriting or extended SEO support are clearly scoped and quoted upfront.
This investment reflects focused, uninterrupted attention, experience, and a process designed to feel calm and supportive.
Why I work this way:
Most people don’t struggle with what they want from a website; they struggle with the process.
Long, open-ended timelines often create stress, second-guessing, and stalled decisions.
A clear structure and a defined timeframe, on the other hand, create momentum and confidence.
By working in one focused week:
✓ Your project receives my full attention
✓ Decisions stay clear and grounded
✓ The process feels contained and supportive
✓ You get a Squarespace website you can actually use and maintain
I care deeply about my clients feeling supported, not overwhelmed.
This way of working allows me to do my best work and gives you a calm, positive experience from start to finish.
Squarespace Website Design FAQs
-
Your VIP Squarespace Website in a Week is completed across five focused days within the same week.

Other Website Costs to Consider:
Domain
Your domain (your personalised URL) is generally the name of your business. EG mine is lookingglasscreative.co.
Pricing varies, but you’re looking at around $25 a year (just a ballpark).
If you’ve already purchased a domain, no worries, I can connect that to your new website, or we can transfer it to Squarespace if you’d like to have everything in one place.
Annual Cost
Squarespace Plan
All Squarespace plans include fully managed cloud website hosting and SSL.
The Core account* is AUD $336 per year or AUD $39, if you’d prefer to pay monthly. You’ll save 28% by paying annually.
*This plan allows me to custom-code your website and create a bespoke site, just for you.
Annual or Monthly Cost
Professional Email
Show your customers you mean business by sending emails from your domain eg, hello@mywebsiteurl.com or joan@mywebsiteurl.com.
Get your first year free if you set up and connect Google Workspace through Squarespace. After that, on the Business Starter plan you’re looking at AUD $9.90 per month. If you need help setting up your email account, give me a shout.
Annual or Monthly Cost
Legal
What you need:
Privacy Policy - Your site collects data (contact form, newsletters sign-ups & Google Analytics). You’re required to have a privacy policy so people understand how their data is being used & so that they may opt out.
Website Terms and Conditions (optional, but recommended)- Not just for selling items, it's about protecting the content, e.g. articles, images, etc, that would be deemed your intellectual property and the ability to use testimonials any way you see fit.
