Squarespace pricing UK: design & hosting
Squarespace hosting
For hosting - Squarespace pricing UK starts from £12/month + VAT. This gets you a custom domain, hosting plan and SSL certificate. If you plan to design your Squarespace website yourself, this is basically everything you need. Squarespace US pricing is similar, with the plans starting at $16/month.
Squarespace design & support packages
If you want a professionally-designed custom Squarespace website - you will pay the above costs to Squarespace plus a one-time, upfront cost to a designer to design your site for you. You can view my pricing for custom-designed Squarespace websites here. I offer three options which meet the needs of clients at different stages in their business, and each package can be further customised with add-ons, which are clearly priced for total transparency and control. Regardless of which design package you choose, all sites are mobile-optimised, and fully tailored to your business and goals, using additional code where necessary, to offer a level of customisation beyond what you can do with a Squarespace template. My one-page website package is ideal for simple business models or startups and I also offer the support packages listed below. Lastly, all clients using my design service can save 20% off your Squarespace hosting through my Circle membership discount, which I will share when we get to that step in the process.

How much is a professionally designed Squarespace website?
FAQs
-
The £12/month plan is for a Personal website and you can’t do any custom coding, which limits the ability to customise template design, branding, and functionality.
The Business Plan is £17/month and is the best option for a service-based business website (anything non-ecommerce).
Ecommerce starts from £23/month, with Advanced Ecommerce at £35/month - the key difference being that on the latter you can sell subscription services and you get access to advanced promotional tools.

Yes, I’m happy to do that. Generally speaking, I require a 50% deposit to secure your design slot in my calendar, with the remaining 50% payable at launch - but I’m happy to work out a payment schedule if you would like to spread the payments over 3-4 months.
