What I Need From You To Build Your Squarespace Website in New Zealand
Starting a new Squarespace website can feel overwhelming, especially if you are not sure where to begin or how much you need to prepare. I work with clients all over New Zealand, and the one thing they all have in common is this. Everyone has a different way of working. Some people want to be involved in every detail. Others are time poor and want the entire process handled for them.
Both approaches work perfectly well. I simply adapt how I work and quote accordingly.
Building a Squarespace website does not have to take over your life. You do not need a perfectly crafted brief or hours of writing. You can be detailed and hands on, or you can send me three bullet points and your logo and let me lead the way. There is no wrong way to start.
If you are time poor, I can do the content for you
You do not need to sit down and write long paragraphs. You do not have to worry about grammar or tone. If you give me a quick bulleted list of your key services, your story, what you offer, and anything that sets you apart, I can turn it into clean, web ready content that sounds like your business.
If you are not fussy about particular wording, I can write everything for you from scratch. You simply approve the final version.
For images, I can pull high quality photos from your socials, your phone, or any existing galleries you already have. If you do not want to sift through folders, you do not have to. I can choose and curate everything for you.
If you want to be more involved, that works too
Some clients love to be part of the process. They want the wording to be in their exact style. They want to supply their own content. They want the tone to feel like them. If this is you, great. Send me your content and I will polish it so it works for the web. That means clarity, structure, layout, and SEO.
You lead the voice. I tidy and shape everything so it lands well online.
What I need to get started on your Squarespace site
Whether you are hands on or hands off, I only need a few things:
Your logo and brand colours
A short list of your services
A rough outline of your business history
A few examples of websites you like
Any existing images or access to your socials
From there, I can build the structure, shape the pages, write the content, and design the layout. If anything is missing, I simply come back to you with small, quick questions so we can fill the gaps without slowing the build.
Your level of involvement determines the cost
If you want a cheaper build, doing more yourself is the way to go.
If you want me to handle everything, I quote for a full content build, copywriting, image curation, and design.
Both approaches end up with a website you are proud of. It all depends on what works best for you.
The goal is a clean, modern Squarespace site that feels like you
Whether you are deeply involved or want nothing to do with the admin, my job is to make sure your website reflects your business and your personality. I work with clients across New Zealand and Wellington to create Squarespace sites that are simple to manage, beautifully designed, and easy for your customers to use.
If you are ready to get started, send me whatever you have, even if it is just a few bullet points. I can take it from there.
