Squarespace Web Designer · conversion-first
Squarespace sites are beautiful. Beautiful isn't the same as converting.
We keep the design. We add the reason to call.
Squarespace makes gorgeous sites, and gorgeous sites lose customers the same way ugly ones do: the first screen is a photo and a name, the phone number is in a footer, the offer is on page three. We fix the conversion layer inside Squarespace — first screen, offer, proof, one action, a form with five fields — without wrecking the look. And when a business outgrows the platform, we move it without losing rankings.
Is Squarespace the right platform for you?
Three questions. An honest answer, including "not this one."
The recommendation is platform-honest — sometimes it is not this one.

Let's talk →Direct answer: A Squarespace web designer builds or improves websites on the Squarespace platform. Search Converts adds the conversion layer to Squarespace sites — a selling first screen, phone placement, proof beside the offer, short forms — while preserving the design, advises honestly on Squarespace's speed and customization limits, and migrates sites when a business outgrows the platform. Delivered nationally, quoted per project.
Squarespace, honestly
What Squarespace does well — and where it fights you.
Every platform is a trade. Here is ours on Squarespace, from building and fixing a lot of them.
Strengths
Excellent templates and typography, reliable hosting, easy editing, good enough for portfolios, restaurants and service businesses that need to look credible fast.
Limits
Speed on a phone is middling, technical SEO control is limited, custom tools mostly aren't possible, and templates push a "photo first" layout that buries the offer.
When we'd move you
Toward hand-coded when the site becomes the business's main lead source, or toward Shopify for anything beyond a small store.
How we build on it
Conversion first. Platform second.
The platform doesn't change the job: a first screen that says what you do and what to do next, the phone number where a thumb can reach it, proof beside the offer, one clear action, and a page that loads in under three seconds. We build all of that on Squarespace — and we work around the platform's limits instead of pretending they aren't there.
When a site outgrows Squarespace, we say so and migrate it without losing rankings. The company-side quotes for Denver businesses live at Denver Web Design; the person who designs them is at zacharytyewennstedt.com; custom-coded sites and the $99/month subscribe-to-own program are at Eye To Ad Media.
Audit what you have
If you're already on the platform, the free audit finds the leaks before anything is rebuilt.
Build the conversion layer
First screen, offer, proof, one action, speed — on the platform, within its limits.
Wire the tracking
Calls, forms, chats — counted, by source.
Test and keep
Headline, offer, form — one change at a time, measured.
Is your beautiful site the reason people call — or just the reason they say "nice site" and leave?
Questions
Straight answers.
Mostly, yes. The conversion layer — headline, phone placement, offer, proof, form — lives inside the design. The free audit tells you what's leaking before anything changes.
Adequate for the basics; limited on speed and technical control. If search is your main channel, plan a migration eventually. The search-side campaign is Eye To Ad Media.
Yes, with URLs mapped and redirects set so rankings carry over.
Quoted per project — a conversion fix is a smaller job than a rebuild. No contract until you're ready.
Squarespace for design-first small sites, Wix for fastest launch, WordPress for content-heavy sites with an editor. Hand-coded when the site is the business. We'll say which fits.
When it's the honest fit — portfolios, restaurants, small service businesses — yes, and we build the conversion layer in from the start.
A Squarespace site built to convert.
Honest about the platform, serious about the phone ringing. If we can do all of that within your budget, are you ready to get started?
