How to Choose the Right Squarespace Designer for Your Business
Written by Donatos, Squarespace Web Designer & Founder of By Donatos
🤔 Why Choosing the Right Designer Matters
Your website is more than just an online presence — it’s the digital face of your brand.
A great Squarespace designer can help you:
Build trust instantly ✅
Guide visitors toward action 🛒
Turn casual browsers into loyal clients 🔑
But how do you know if a designer is the right fit for your business?
🔍 1. Look Beyond the Portfolio
A portfolio shows style, but it doesn’t always reveal process.
Ask:
Do they understand strategy, or just visuals?
Can they explain why they designed something a certain way?
Do their sites feel easy to use on both desktop & mobile?
🗣️ 2. Pay Attention to Communication
The best design projects are collaborations.
Does the designer listen to your needs? 👂
Do they explain things clearly, without jargon? 💬
Do they feel like a partner, not just a vendor?
Good communication = smoother project, better results.
🛠️ 3. Ask About Their Process
A professional designer should have a clear roadmap:
Discovery (understanding your goals)
Content gathering
Design & development
Feedback rounds
Launch & training
👉 If they don’t have a structured process, expect chaos.
💡 4. Check Testimonials & Reviews
What do past clients say?
Did the designer deliver on time?
Did the website meet (or exceed) expectations?
Was support available after launch?
Reviews reveal what a portfolio can’t.
🎯 5. Match Expertise to Your Needs
Not all Squarespace designers are the same:
Some focus on eCommerce 🛍️
Others on personal brands & creatives 🎤
Others on service businesses 🏢
Find a designer whose expertise aligns with your industry and goals.
🚀 Final Thought
Choosing the right Squarespace designer is about finding someone who understands your vision, brand, and business goals, not just someone who can “make a pretty site.”
If you want a designer who values clarity, speed, and strategy as much as aesthetics, I’d love to chat.
👉 Get in touch today, and let’s build a site that feels professional, purposeful, and unforgettable.
