Custom Squarespace Websites for Small Businesses

Your work speaks for itself—your website should too. I build websites that help small businesses look great online.

Designed For You


A Strong Website Is One of Your Best Business Tools

If your site is outdated, hard to update, or missing from search results—it’s probably costing you customers.

I build Squarespace websites that show up in local search, make your business look trustworthy, and guide people straight to your inbox. Clean structure, modern design, and local SEO built in—so your site keeps working, even when you’re not.

Whether you’re running appointments, managing jobs, or finally taking a day off, your website should still be doing its job.

Behind the Design


Hi, I’m Katia, a Squarespace web designer.

Good design isn’t just about how a website looks—it’s about how well it works for you and your customers.

Based out of Odenton, Maryland, I’m an Air Force veteran turned web designer with a background in SEO, design, and website management. After years of working across tech and creative roles, I found my niche in building websites that balance strategy with personality. I make sure your site works for you, not the other way around.

If you’re ready for a website that feels like your business and helps it grow—I’m more than ready to help.

  • I’ve lived in Maryland for seven years, but I grew up all over the U.S. with two Army parents. I eventually joined the Air Force, earned an English degree, and spent years looking for work that blended creativity with strategy. Between military structure, writing, and web management, I was always close—but web design is where it finally clicked.

    Now, I help small business owners build Squarespace sites that are clean, custom, and built to help people find and trust their business.

    If you’re feeling overwhelmed, unsure, or just tired of wrestling with your current site—I’ve got you! My goal is to make the process clear, supportive, and way less stressful than you might expect.

Mobile-Friendly

Featured Client Project

Client: Ben Burris Paving - Asphalt Paving Company in Maryland.

Launched: March 2025

Ben Burris Paving is a family-run business that’s been serving Maryland for over 40 years—and they’ve built a strong reputation for doing great work. But their old site wasn’t showing up on Google and wasn’t bringing in the kind of traffic they deserved.

We worked together to build a fresh, modern Squarespace site with built-in SEO, clear service pages, and a layout that’s easy for customers to trust and navigate.

The result? A site that jumped from being invisible on Google to ranking on the first page for targeted keywords—bringing more traffic, more leads, and stronger customer confidence.

Huge thanks to Ben Burris Paving for letting me help modernize their site—it was a great project with great people!

Frequently Asked Questions


Why Squarespace and How Much Will It Cost?

  • I’ve tested a lot of website platforms—Wix, GoDaddy, WordPress, Webflow, and a few others. For small businesses, Squarespace is the sweet spot: easy to manage, polished, and high-quality.

    It’s got solid security, automatic updates, modern designs, and an intuitive dashboard that makes life easier after launch.

    Plus, I can customize it with code and plugins when you need more. I trust Squarespace—I use it for my own business, and I recommend it for yours.

    Want to know more? Learn about Squarespace features here.

  • Websites aren’t something you set up once and forget. It needs to grow with your business. An outdated site can hurt your credibility, frustrate visitors, or stop showing up on Google.

    These days, almost everyone checks out a business online before they decide to work with you. And with new AI Overviews showing up in search engines, it’s more important than ever to have clear, updated info that search tools (and customers) can easily find.

    A fresh website shows people you’re active, professional, and ready to help. If you’re not sure where to start, I’d be happy to take a look and point you in the right direction.

  • SEO (Search Engine Optimization) helps your website show up on Google when people search for businesses like yours. Local SEO makes sure you show up in searches from people in your area, so nearby customers can actually find you.

    In short, no SEO? You’re harder to find. Smart SEO? You’re easier to find. More eyes on your site = more chances to turn visitors into customers.

    I build SEO into every website I design, so your site doesn’t just sit there—it helps more of the right people find you, trust you, and become customers.

  • Every project has two costs:

    • Design & Build Fee: A one-time fee for my work creating your custom website. The price depends on your site’s size, features, and complexity—but I always aim to work within your budget.

    • Squarespace Subscription: A separate annual fee (about $200–$300/year) paid directly to Squarespace. This covers hosting, security, and platform support. I usually recommend the Core Plan (around $23/month).

    Before we begin, I’ll walk you through everything and send a clear proposal with upfront pricing—no surprises. You can view Squarespace’s pricing plans here.

  • Most websites take 4–8 weeks from start to launch, depending on the size and complexity. A small 3-4 page site can often be done in 2–4 weeks.

    Building a website isn’t just design—it’s also planning your pages, gathering content, writing copy, and making sure everything’s aligned with your goals. We’ll start with a strategy session, map out your site, and work together to collect what we need before I begin design.

    I’ll send you a clear project schedule up front so you’ll know exactly what to expect—and if you have a deadline in mind, let me know! I’ll do my best to work around it.

  • Absolutely! One of the best things about Squarespace is how easy it is to manage. I offer training and support to help you manage the site going forward.

    After launch, I’ll make sure you’ll be able to edit text, swap out images, add new blog posts, and make updates without needing to touch any code.

  • I offer flexible support options depending on what you need. If it’s a small update (like changing text or swapping a photo), I can usually handle it quickly.

    For bigger updates—like adding new pages, redesigning sections, or launching new features—we can set up a small project or an hourly package to keep things easy and affordable. You’ll always know the cost ahead of time before any changes are made.
