The Ultimate Guide to Launching a Gorgeous Squarespace Website That Stands Out

2 gorgeous Squarespace templates ideal for service based entrepreneurs.

Hey, lovely! I see you. You’re juggling all the things—kids, laundry, that cold cup of coffee, and trying to launch your business online.

It’s overwhelming, isn’t it? But building a website doesn’t have to be the thing that breaks you. In fact, with Squarespace and a little strategy, you can have a stunning site ready in a week or less (yes, really!).

Here’s how to create a website that not only looks amazing but actually works for your business—and your life.

1. Pick the Right Template for Your Brand

Templates are the foundation of your website. But let’s be real—Squarespace’s free templates are meh at best. They’re everywhere, and chances are your competitor is using the exact same one.

If you want your site to stand out, go for a more custom option. That’s why I create beautiful, personality-packed Squarespace templates that give you an edge. They’re designed to feel unique, not cookie-cutter, so your audience remembers you.

💡 How to choose a template:

  • Service-based businesses: Look for clean, professional layouts with clear calls to action like "Book Now."

  • Creative entrepreneurs: Choose portfolio-style templates to showcase your work beautifully.

  • Coaches: Find templates with blogging and scheduling features to connect with clients.

Don’t want to think about it? Check out my custom templates—they’re designed to save you time and headaches while looking drop-dead gorgeous.

Psst: If you’re working solo, expect to spend 2-3 days setting up your template. If you need it done fast, I can customize your template in just one day.

2. Make Your Site Easy to Use

A website that’s hard to navigate is a no-go. Your visitors—especially busy women like you—don’t have time to hunt for what they need.

👉 Here’s how to keep it simple:

  • Stick to 4-5 menu items: Home, About, Services, Blog, and Contact.

  • Add big, bold buttons with clear actions (like "Book Now" or "Shop Here").

  • Test your site on mobile! Over half of your audience is browsing on their phones (probably while multitasking).

3. Write Copy That Connects

Your website copy is your voice. Speak directly to your dream clients, tell them how you can help, and don’t overthink it!

💡 Quick tips for writing copy that sells:

  • Highlight what you offer and who it’s for.

  • Use testimonials to show you’re legit.

  • End each page with a clear call to action: "Let’s Chat!" or "Book Now."

Hate writing? No worries—I can help! I specialize in creating website copy that feels natural, speaks to your audience, and (most importantly) converts.

4. Optimize for SEO (Without the Overwhelm)

SEO sounds scary, but it’s really just a fancy way of helping people find you online. Think of it as breadcrumbs leading your dream clients to your door.

👉 Here’s how to start:

  • Use keywords like “Squarespace designer for entrepreneurs” in your titles and descriptions.

  • Add alt text to images—Squarespace makes this super easy.

  • Include a blog post or two about your services (Google loves fresh content).

If you’re already feeling overwhelmed, that’s okay. I offer SEO setup services to get your site optimized without the stress.

5. Launch Now, Perfect Later

Here’s the deal: Done is better than perfect. Your website doesn’t have to be flawless to be effective.

Before you hit publish, check these essentials:

  • Do all links work?

  • Are your images loading properly?

  • Does your contact form send messages?

Once you’ve checked these basics, hit that publish button and celebrate—you’ve officially launched! 🎉
