Our Beautiful Squarespace Websites are Built to Grow Your Business
Get More Clients
When your site communicates who you are and what you offer, it stops being a digital portfolio and starts becoming a lead generator. We apply StoryBrand principles to simplify your message and structure it for conversion, so the right clients feel seen and click.
Book More Calls
Design that speaks for itself isn’t always enough. Your website should guide visitors toward action—whether that’s booking a discovery call, buying a piece, or filling out an inquiry form. We build sites that make it easy to say “yes.”
Get Found Online
It doesn’t matter how talented you are if no one can find you. We build in solid SEO foundations; from clean site structure to keyword-driven content, so your site ranks when people search for things like “freelance illustrator,” “logo designer,” or “custom art commissions.”
Build Instant Trust
Your website is often the first impression. We craft polished, professional designs that reflect your style and creative voice, so potential clients instantly know they’re in the right place and feel confident reaching out.

Artist or Designer Website FAQs
How to get started as a artist or designer
If you’re building a creative business, a portfolio alone isn’t enough. To land more clients, commissions, and collaborations, you need a professional online presence that reflects your style and your substance. That means building a website that highlights your work, clarifies your offers, and builds trust with the people who want to hire you.
What Makes a Great Website for Artists and Designers?
A high-performing creative website should do more than look good—it should communicate who you are, what you do, and why someone should work with you. We use the StoryBrand framework to structure your content so that it speaks directly to your audience’s needs and inspires them to take action.
Your website should answer three core questions within seconds:
What do you do?
Who is it for?
What should they do next?
When your messaging is this clear, your work becomes more than impressive—it becomes irresistible. That clarity builds trust and helps visitors feel like they’ve found the right creative partner.
Why Squarespace Is Ideal for Creative Businesses
Artists and designers need a platform that feels as flexible and polished as their work. Squarespace is built for just that. Its drag-and-drop editor and stunning design options make it easy to update your portfolio, publish blog posts, or promote a new offer—no developer required.
We customize every build with:
Mobile-responsive, on-brand design
Lightning-fast performance and SEO best practices
Easy scheduling integrations for calls, consults, or commissions
Blogging and content tools to drive traffic and tell your story
We work exclusively in Squarespace 7.1, using custom code only when it enhances performance or aesthetics—so you get beauty without bloat.
How SEO Helps Artists & Designers Get Found
Search engine optimization (SEO) helps potential clients, art directors, or collaborators discover you when they’re actively searching for your services.
Here’s how SEO drives growth for creatives:
Meet your audience where they are. When someone Googles “freelance illustrator portfolio” or “interior designer in Austin,” strong keyword optimization ensures you’re on the map.
Build authority before a conversation starts. A fast, well-structured site that ranks well signals professionalism and trust. People often compare multiple creatives—your site should make you the obvious choice.
Make your content work while you sleep. Great SEO brings in traffic long after you hit publish. Blog posts, project pages, and SEO-optimized landing pages compound over time, bringing in organic leads around the clock.
We walk every client through a proven strategy that covers technical SEO, on-page optimization, and content development—so you get found by the right people at the right time.
What the Best Artist & Designer Websites Have in Common
Strong creative websites aren’t just digital portfolios—they’re conversion tools. The best ones create emotional connection, deliver practical information, and guide people toward action.
Here’s what sets them apart:
Clear positioning and audience-specific language
Strategic storytelling that highlights your unique voice and process
Testimonials, case studies, or past client examples
Smart calls-to-action that move visitors from "just browsing" to "let’s talk"
And they’re built to scale. The top artist and designer sites grow with you over time, supporting new offers, expanded services, or passive income products like prints or templates.
Your website shouldn’t just house your work—it should help you do more of it.
