Squarespace Website Audit & Fix

Need a professional to cast an eye over your website? Have a feeling that something’s not working as well as it could be?

I have 20+ years in the web industry, nearly 15 years’ experience working with Squarespace websites, and I have designed or refined over 300 Squarespace websites in that time. Let me use my Squarespace and web strategy skills to analyse your website to help you ensure you spend your website budget effectively.

What kinds of things does the Site Audit check for?

  • Does the site look polished, professional, and relevant to its audience, or does it need some design tweaks?

  • Is the site making best use of Squarespace templates/features, or could we do better?

  • Does the website flow intuitively? Can people find what they need without confusion?

  • Are your calls to action prominent and clear? Can people easily perform the tasks you want them to? 

  • Have you set up everything correctly? Are there any technical problems that should be addressed?

  • Have you put in place the key SEO elements?

  • Is anything missing, or could additional content or features help get your visitors to convert?

  • Have you missed any tricks in terms of cross-selling or surfacing valuable content?

The Site Audit service, step by step

  • Briefing

    We’ll have a short call to talk through your thoughts on your current website – your audience, goals, what you think is/isn’t working & overall happiness levels.

  • Detailed Audit

    I will review your website & make notes along the way, and then share this document with you.

  • Q&A

    We'll have a call to go through my recommendations, so you can decide whether you want me to quote for doing certain things or learn how to do some yourself.

  • Priced Checklist

    I'll price up the items you’ve said you want to proceed with, so you can decide which ones you want to go ahead with if budgets are tight.

FAQ

  • The price depends on the number of pages you want me to review (see note below):

    • Small website (5 or fewer pages): £400* GBP

    • Medium website (6-10 pages): +£50* GBP per page

    • Large websites: 11+ pages, please ask for an estimate

    NOTE: I don’t have to do every single page, but I do recommend doing all of the main customer facing pages. However, if you have several pages that all follow the exact same layout (eg all Service or all Product pages have roughly the same content/structure), you may choose to focus only on unique page types - so I’d just do one Service / Product page rather than all of them.

    The audit service does not include making changes; the prices shown above are for the review & recommend process only.

    *Prices shown are exclusive of VAT. VAT of 20% will be added for UK clients. Prices for implementing changes or training after the audit will be priced according to my standard hourly rate of £95/$125 per hour pro rata + VAT where applicable.

  • The time needed to implement recommended changes identified in the audit and/or train you on how to do them varies from a few hours to a few days, depending on how much you want to do, how many pages you have, and how far your current site is from the optimal state - so the cost varies from a few hundred pounds to £1000+ if things really need a lot of work. However, before any work is carried out, I’ll supply a list of items and associated costs ahead of time so you can decide which elements we do. If you need to consider a few options, I am happy to give you some ideas on different ways to achieve things. There’s also the option to take a phased approach to implementing the changes.

    Some clients choose to book an exclusive full day of my time off the back of the Site Audit. Through my Squarespace Expert for a Day service I can then dedicate the entire day to applying changes identified from the Site Audit, plus any training elements, in one concentrated chunk at a set rate.

  • As the scope of work varies so widely, I can’t say exactly how long, but we’ll agree a timeline for implementing the changes once you have your itemised list of what we’ve agreed to do. Normally I can slot in changes within a few weeks of the audit taking place.

  • Sure, in most cases there will be at least some changes that you can make yourself - for example, content changes or simple design tweaks. If you’re not confident in making them, you can ask for training on how to do them at Step 4.

    You are under no obligation to use my services to make the changes for you.
