developing your presence online with
website design
Your website should do more than look good.
It should tell your story, connect with your audience, and guide them to take action. All while feeling unmistakably you.
Whether you're launching something brand new or giving your current site a much-needed refresh, I offer two intentional paths to help you get there. Both options are built on Squarespace 7.1 and come with strategic design, thoughtful support, and future-friendly resources so you can move forward with confidence.
it’s as easy as:
-
I want to hear a bit more about you: your style, your vision, goals, etc. I have an application below to help get you started.
-
Next, we'll hop on a 30 minute call to get to know each other better and talk design, priorities, timeframe, expectations, etc!
-
After we chat, you'll receive the proposal and contract, and pay your deposit. Once paid, you'll receive links to your homework.
Once your homework is submitted, I’ll send over our project calendar and the real fun can begin!

02. the mini website
Ideal for weddings, one-page offerings, simple landing pages, portfolios, events, or digital resumes, this package is perfect for those who need a small-but-mighty online presence that still looks and functions beautifully.
This option is built from one of my Squarespace templates and customized to reflect your content, style, and goals. It's a great fit if you need just a few pages and want a streamlined, intentional design without starting from scratch.

the timeline
01
HOMEWORK
After your inquiry, we’ll have a discovery call. Once you pay the deposit, you’ll get your homework and questionnaire, as well as gathering your photos, written copy, and applicable brand assets.
02
project timeline
I will look over your homework and we’ll map out a calendar schedule that both of us will adhere to for your project to keep everything on track. All of your assets, photos, and copy will be submitted to me before design begins.
03
design direction
I’ll translate your homework into a strategic visual direction. These early visuals set the foundation for your site’s design and structure. During this phase, I’ll also guide you through setting up, transferring, or purchasing your domain, hosting plan, and email (if needed)—making sure everything’s ready to go before we build.
04
design + build days
Using our approved direction and your content, I’ll design and build the site in Squarespace, crafting a responsive, user-friendly experience that reflects your brand and goals. During that time you’ll receive things to approve and will be allotted 2 rounds of editing.
05
review + refine
We'll walk through the site together to make final edits, polish the details, and ensure everything from navigation to mobile styling to SEO basics is launch-ready.
06
launch + Support
Your site goes live! You’ll receive a 1:1 training session, along with post-launch support and helpful guides so you can confidently manage and update your site moving forward.
NOTE: Timeframe is not guaranteed, it depends on revisions and additional design needs.
what’s not included
hosting, domain, and email
You will purchase your domain, email, and Squarespace subscription separately. You can learn more about Squarespace pricing here. If you already own a domain or email through another provider (like GoDaddy, BlueHost, etc.), you’ll need to ensure you have active login access so we can point or transfer your domain to Squarespace.
If you’re not feeling especially tech-savvy or need help sorting out a domain or email setup through a third-party host, I’m happy to assist at my hourly rate of $150/hr.
branding and visual assets
This package does not include branding, logo design, or custom illustrations. I ask that you come to the project with your brand assets in place, including a logo, color palette, and font selections, so we can apply them seamlessly to your site.
If you have a logo but no defined colors or typography yet, we can add a simple brand styling package to your scope for an additional cost. Likewise, if you'd like custom illustrations or graphics, I'm happy to include those as add-ons at my hourly rate or as a separate quoted project.

copywriting
I’m not a copywriter and do not offer this service as part of the design process, but I’m happy to offer guidance on tone, structure, and what to include, and I can also connect you with a trusted copywriter if you'd like help crafting your message from scratch.
A helpful tip I share with all clients: less is more when it comes to large blocks of copy on your website. Your words matter, but so does how they're presented. I’ll help you think through how to visually tell your story in a way that keeps potential clients engaged, instead of overwhelming them with too much text.
website management + updates
I use Squarespace because it’s intuitive, flexible, and easy to maintain—making it ideal for handing off once the design phase is complete. My goal is to leave you with the tools, training, and insight you need to confidently manage basic updates and changes moving forward.
If you ever need additional support, whether it’s building out new pages or making larger-scale edits, I’m happy to help. These updates are billed at my hourly rate of $150/hr.
Interested in a longer-term working relationship or retainer options? I’d love to chat, just reach out and we can explore what ongoing support could look like for you.
“I’ve got plenty of great things to share about Karyn but I think most notably is that she made it a point to really understand what my teams needs are and how she can specifically execute on that. She made it a point to add as much value as possible which is unbelievably helpful.”
