The Process
Completed the Preparation Checklist
Initial Session (half hour)
Sign up to create a SquareSpace account
Purchase the domain and website subscriptions
I’ll be added as a contributor, so you don’t need to share any login details
I’ll assemble your website with the materials and direction provided
You’ll assess the draft and make notes for any changes
Final Edit Session (up to one hour, virtual meeting possible)
We will make the changes in real time to get the site as you’d like it
The final version will go live to the public
Further changes/content available at an hourly rate
Preparation Checklist
1. Pick a domain name (like www.filnenna.com)
Head to https://domains.squarespace.com
The name must be available for purchase
You may also want to check if the name is available as a business name within your State (e.g. Massachusetts).
A dot-com domain will work significantly better that a dot-net or dot-org address
Its best if the domain name matches or is very close to your social media names
2. Prepare your content (into a Google Drive shared folder if possible)
Photos of your artwork/products
Your “About me” bio
Contact information: email address and/or phone number
Social media links
Headshot and/or environmental portraits
3. Optional design elements
Tagline/mission statement
Font
Color / color palette
Logo
Stock photos (SquareSpace has a basic selection)
