Domain name. This is usually included in your first year with Squarespace, domain names can also be purchased at namecheap.com or godaddy.com. If purchased from another vendor, we will point your domain at your site when the site is complete.

If all the preparation is done, a 5-page Sprint Website can take as little as 2 weeks. If you have additional pages, requests or are unable to get back to me sooner, expect them to be done in about a month depending on our current work queue.

The information you provide us over the phone, in your intake call and the existing marketing materials you upload to your Dropbox will inform the look of your site. The Sprint Websites style is clean, modern, professional & timeless. You can check out our portfolio here.

If you’d like to learn to build a website yourself, so you can make the design decisions, we offer 1 on 1 - 1 day workshops where we help you build your own website using Squarespace, walking through all the steps.

If you don't have a logo, I will create a text-only logo for you for free. With our vast experience in design even without provided marketing materials I can still come up with a look that will suit your new business. But having a logo and brand coming into the project indeed is helpful if it's in your budget. Ask about our graphic design small business package if you would like a full logo design for your project.

As for writing, my intake form has some hints and tricks to help you to write your own content. You can also provide us with bullet form content, and I can hire a copywriter to put it together for you for an extra cost. The content will need to be in its final form before we can start the Sprint Websites build.

Yes, for sure. I include some training videos and we will be available for a phone call or email or two until you feel comfortable as well.
