Distinctive Web design for small businesses & purpose-led founders ready to grow.

Crafting custom Squarespace websites that reflect your brand, clarify your message, and support your growth — with intentional web design for small businesses built on expert structure, thoughtful design, and optimization from every angle.

Transforming your vision into a foundation for growth

Your website is a powerful tool for showcasing your expertise, communicating your value, and building meaningful connections.

For many small business owners, launching or upgrading a website can feel overwhelming. My approach simplifies the process. With clarity, structure, and care, I guide you through a professional design journey — so your online presence reflects who you are and where you're going.

With years of experience in web design for small businesses, I specialize in crafting Squarespace websites that align your brand with your next stage of growth. I believe that less is more — a thoughtfully designed, expertly optimized site with fewer pages builds a stronger, lasting foundation than a larger, low-cost build that lacks clarity, cohesion, and impact.

Redesigning Your Squarespace Website

Already have a Squarespace site that no longer reflects your work? A thoughtful redesign can realign your online presence with where your business is today — and where it’s headed. Whether it’s outdated visuals, unclear messaging, or a structure that no longer fits, a full redesign creates space for clarity, alignment, and growth. Redesigns are quoted the same as new builds, as they require the same depth of care, strategy, and attention to detail.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT MY WEB DESIGN FOR SMALL BUSINESSES

  • A mockup showcasing the Squarespace website for Studio One Eleven, displayed on a digital screen against a textured beige neutral background.

    ★★★★★

    “We are so happy with our new website! We found Audrey online and decided to work with her as we loved her refined design aesthetic and appreciated how her own website navigated so easily. Working with her we also discovered that she is patient, super organized and dedicated to making sure our brand shone through. She could see our vision so clearly and could articulate it even better than we could. Couldn't recommend her more, we are so happy that our new website feels special and truly reflects who we are and what we do. Can't wait to work with Audrey on our next project! ”


    Kelli Johnson – Studio One Eleven

  • A mockup showcasing the Squarespace website for Love Canoe, displayed on a digital screen against a textured beige neutral background.

    ★★★★★

    “I had the opportunity to work with Audrey when she created a website for my business. She is incredibly creative and a great partner to work with. She is organized and gathered all the necessary information before reflecting back the vision I had for my brand. She is thorough and pays close attention to the details that I completely overlooked, making my vision and ideas come together with fluidity. It is evident that she has a wide range of experiences in both photography and web design and offered creative insights with confidence and respect. The final product was better than I had envisioned and I will forever be grateful. I look forward to continuing my working relationship with Audrey as we move forward with future projects.”

  • A mockup showcasing the Squarespace website for Wendy Wong, displayed on a digital screen against a textured beige neutral background.

    ★★★★★

    “Audrey is fantastic. She's organized, thoughtful, and very very good at knowing what is eye-catching. She listens carefully and is able to make design choices that I didn't know I wanted (but I did! I really did!). I'm so glad I chose to work with her! She kept us on task, and explained clearly what she needed of me. She also accommodated an oversight I had on timing. Most importantly, I love how she used the design elements to make a unique website that channels what I needed for my brand redesign. It's also easy to update with her video instructions. Thank you, Audrey!!!!”


    Wendy H. Wong

  • ★★★★★

    “What an incredible experience it was to work (it actually felt much more like play) with Audrey on the creation of my website. She held my hand, and guided me effortlessly through a process that I was completely unfamiliar with. I believe that her technical skills, in combination with her artistic abilities, make her a great partner for anyone looking to create something incredibly inspirational, and highly functional. Beyond just the website creation, she helped flush out the entire look and feel of what Group Effect has now become. I'm not sure there is anybody else on the planet who could have started with nothing, and created something so amazing, and something that fit so perfectly for my needs.”
