Squarespace EXPERT & SEO SPECIALIST
Meet CLARE
I'm Clare, a Squarespace website designer working with thoughtful founders, creatives and service-based businesses across the globe.
For the past six years, I’ve specialised in designing elegant, strategically structured Squarespace websites and have supported more than a hundred small businesses through website builds, design intensives & SEO guidance.
MY JOURNEY to becoming a SQUARESPACE EXPERT
They say most people have five careers in a lifetime (raises hand). I spent my twenties in London at Ministry of Sound marketing dance music artists, followed by a decade in tech and marketing companies in the city.
Then I became a mum, moved back to my home county of Suffolk, and trained as a photographer - spending seven years shooting luxury weddings and learning everything about running a small business, with a great website at the heart of it.
With a global pandemic and nuptials on hold, I started building Squarespace websites for fun, then for a friend, then my first client - and before long I made the switch to full-time web designer.
Six years and 100+ clients later, I'm still obsessed with what Squarespace can do for a small business - bringing my background in photography, marketing and business, plus the empathy of someone who's actually been exactly where you are.

FAQS

FAQS /
-
I love the elegance and simplicity of Squarespace, both on the backend and front end. I dabbled with both WordPress and Wix and neither were for me! Squarespace just appeals to me and makes sense. It's gorgeous to look at, and genuinely easy to use.
-
I've been building Squarespace websites for six years, working with over 100 creative, wellness, and service-based businesses across the UK and beyond.
-
I was originally self-taught on Squarespace, then invested heavily over the years in training from leading names in the Squarespace community, including Kerstin Martin, Kate Scott, and Applet Studio, among others. In my early years, I also spent four years at The Design Space, a leading template store for creatives, working directly under Melissa Love — a world-renowned branding and design expert — where I learned an enormous amount about design fundamentals.
In 2024, I completed the SEO Space Academy's rigorous accreditation for Squarespace SEO, proving page-one rankings for both myself and clients, and gaining in-depth SEO strategy and technical knowledge along the way.
I continue learning constantly, staying connected with peers to keep up with the latest tools and techniques, including AI, so I can bring the best of what's possible to every client.
-
Before becoming a Squarespace designer, I spent twenty years in London working across a huge range of businesses - from startups to FTSE 100 companies - in marketing, tech, and music, working alongside entrepreneurs of every kind. Then I started my own business as a wedding photographer, learning first-hand what it takes to wear every hat when you're building something from scratch. That mix of corporate experience and small-business reality shapes how I understand my clients today.
-
I primarily work with creative and wellness businesses - photographers, interior designers, artists, wedding planners, wellness practitioners, psychologists, and more.
That said, I do get approached by other types of businesses, and if the fit feels right, I'll occasionally step outside that lane. I've designed for lawyers and educational consultants in the past, among others.
The key factor is really whether you connect with my design style, which tends to lean elegant and clean rather than corporate. So if you're in another industry, get in touch anyway - let's see if we're a good fit.
-
I’m incredibly proud and grateful to have received 5-star reviews across the board from my wonderful clients. Their kind words mean the world and I’m honoured to have supported them in launching websites they love. You can read my Google reviews here.
