Section 1: Squarespace Set Up

Goal: Create a professional website that attracts and converts leads.
What You’ll Learn:

  • How to design Home, About, Portfolio, Services, Blog, and Contact Pages.

  • Tips for using SEO-friendly descriptions and keywords to improve visibility.
    Pro Tips:

  • Use high-quality visuals that showcase your work.

  • Include client testimonials to build trust.

    Here are five questions to help us get started:
    1. For Antonia's website https://www.antoniadanae.com, (which contains 4 pages: Home, About, Portfolio, and Contact) I started from scratch and the project took me about two weeks and approximately 20 hours of work within those two weeks. Are you comfortable with this estimated timeframe and the amount of hours that may be involved in a website revamp?  
     

    2. Are you looking to keep your current website platform (Wix) or are you open to switching to another? I have worked with Wix before, so I'd be comfortable updating your existing site using that platform or if you'd like to switch to Squarespace, I have been working with the Squarespace platform most recently and have found it to be very flexible! 

    3. Do you also already have a Client Management/Project Management system? If so, which one? If not, are you looking to incorporate a Client Management/Project Management system?

    4. Please list a few of your favorite websites that you would most like your website to look like! We can follow them as guides, and then add your own personal touches to your own site like brand colors, fonts, and verbiage! 

    5. What do you feel needs the most attention on your current site? For example, Branding (fonts, colors, and overall feel of the website), Calls to Action ("Book Now!" buttons and automations to guide clients through the process), more detailed Pricing & Information.... the list could go on! 

    I'm so looking forward to talking with you more via phone and/or email! Thanks again for reaching out, Ciara!
