Design for Squarespace

Portfolios, restaurants, studios and small services firms. Get a brand and a product that look like the same company, and keep looking that way after handover. On Squarespace specifically, this is what changes.

What Squarespace gets right, and what it does not

  • Template constraints reward a small, disciplined type and colour system.

AI visibility on Squarespace

  • llms.txt. Not supported at the root. Reference a hosted file from your About page.
  • Schema. Settings → Advanced → Code injection → Header for an Organization block with sameAs.
  • Crawlers. Not editable. Check Squarespace's current crawler policy before relying on AI visibility.

What we would ship first

  • Brand systemsMarks, type, colour and the rules that stop the brand drifting in six months.
  • Product interfacesSaaS and mobile screens designed with the empty states, errors and long names included.
  • Design systemsTokens, components and documentation your engineers actually use. Light and dark from day one.
  • Marketing sitesSites that read well, load fast and can be extended by whoever runs them next.

How the engagement runs

  • Audit. What exists, what is inconsistent, what users trip over. Screenshots, not opinions.
  • Directions. Three directions on real screens, not moodboards. You pick one.
  • System. Tokens, components and templates, built in Figma and exported to code.
  • Ship. We build it or pair with your engineers until it is live and consistent.

Questions people ask

Do you work inside our existing Squarespace setup?
Yes. The scoping sprint starts with what is there. We extend Squarespace where that is honest and propose a move only when the platform is the constraint.
Can you fix AI crawler access on Squarespace?
Not editable. Check Squarespace's current crawler policy before relying on AI visibility.
Do you do logos only?
Rarely. A mark without a system drifts within months. The brand sprint produces the mark and the rules together.
Can you work inside our existing design system?
Yes. The audit step tells you what to keep. We extend rather than replace where that is honest.
