Website Build Agreement
Effective upon payment submission
Thank you so much for choosing me to bring your vision to life. This Website Build Agreement outlines how we’ll work together to create a professional, beautiful Squarespace website that helps you show up online with clarity and confidence.
By purchasing the Done-for-You Template Setup service, you agree to the supportive, step-by-step process outlined below.
⸻
1. What’s Included
• Setup of your selected Squarespace template
• Styling using the template’s fonts, layout, and core design
• Restyling for up to 5 pages
• Basic on-page SEO (titles, meta descriptions, and image tags)
• Two rounds of light revisions
• A walkthrough video so you feel confident using your new site
• Bonus: Privacy Policy + Terms & Conditions pages added to your site
• A 7-day turnaround starting from your confirmed Start Date

2. Let’s Be Real: Your Website Doesn’t Have to Be “Perfect” to Launch
You don’t need a fancy logo, color palette, or branding package to start.
Your brand is what people say about you when you leave the room. And your website’s job is to help people find you, connect with you, and trust you enough to take action.
You’ve already chosen a beautiful, professionally designed template. Once it’s filled with your content and photos, it will look completely unique to you—even if someone else chooses the same design.
Still figuring things out? No problem.
• I can create a simple text-based logo using the site fonts
• We can tweak the template’s color scheme, or use it as-is (it’s already gorgeous)
• Please pull free, high-quality stock photos from Pexels or Unsplash if you don’t have your own
• If you’re stuck on wording, you can use AI-generated placeholder text to keep us moving
Your site is a living, breathing thing—you can (and should) evolve it over time. The most important step is to get online and start building momentum.
⸻
3. What You’re Responsible For
Before your Start Date, I’ll need:
• Your logo (optional)
• Website copy for each page (Feel free to use AI like ChatGPT)
• Photos or graphics you’d like used (Pexels & Unsplash are Free)
• Any must-have links or inspiration sites
• Preferred colors or style references (optional)
All of this must be submitted at least 48 hours before your Start Date.
If anything is missing, I’ll use placeholder content and stock visuals so we stay on track. You’ll be able to update these anytime in the future.

4. The Booking Process
Step 1: Book Your Kickoff Call
Once you submit payment, you’ll book a 30–45 minute Kickoff Call (held at least 5–7 days before your Start Date).
We’ll walk through:
• Your goals, ideal audience, and message
• Design and branding preferences
• What pages you need and what content you already have
• Your inspiration websites or templates
After the call, I’ll send you a short checklist to wrap up anything that’s missing.
Step 2: Confirm Your Start Date
Once your call is complete and content is in progress, we’ll confirm your official Start Date—this begins your 7-day website build.
