Sarasota, Florida · Brand and Website Design
A clear, professional website for your Sarasota business.
Thoughtful design, direct collaboration, and a scope you understand before booking.
I design Squarespace websites for service-based businesses in Sarasota and beyond. We connect your message, visuals, and page structure so visitors can understand your work and find a clear next step.
A website that feels like you and makes the next step clear.
You care about your business. I want your website to show it.
I work with Sarasota business owners who want a site that brings their message and visuals together. You’ll work directly with me, from planning the pages to reviewing the design and learning how to use your finished site.
The goal is simple: a website you’re proud to share, with useful information and a clear way for people to get in touch.
Who this is for
Business owners who want support with their next website.
You may be launching a service, updating an established business, or finishing a site that has been on your list for a while. We review your goals and what you already have before choosing the right build.
Your existing branding can stay if it still fits your business and the files are usable. Any identity work or additional content support is discussed and quoted separately.
WHERE A WEBSITE CAN HELP
Make it easier for people to understand your business.
A website can look good and still leave visitors with questions. These are a few of the things I look at when planning a site: does it reflect your business, explain your services, work comfortably on a phone, and give people a clear next step?
Your business keeps growing. Your website can grow with it.
Whether you built your first site yourself or have been meaning to update it for a while, we can start with what’s working and make a plan for what comes next.
My approach
Start with your goals, then build around them.
We get clear on your audience, services, and priorities before design begins. From there, I organize the pages, content, and next steps your visitors need.
The work builds on usable brand assets rather than requiring a new identity. We agree any additional branding, copywriting, or photography before booking.
Why I often recommend Squarespace.
It gives me room to create a thoughtful, branded website and gives you a manageable way to update your content afterward. I use it for my own site, too.
When a project calls for something beyond the built-in tools, I can add custom styling and code. And if another platform is a better fit for what you need, I’ll tell you. The platform should support your business and the way you want to run it.
THE PROCESS
A clear plan, from first conversation to launch.
I guide you through the decisions, share progress, and make room for your feedback at planned review points. Here’s how we move from an idea to a website you can use.
Local understanding. Direct collaboration.
You work directly with me on your website. I learn about your services, audience, and priorities, then explain the design decisions and keep you involved at planned review points.
For Sarasota and Manatee businesses, local photography can be arranged when useful. We confirm shoot scope and any additional cost before booking.

You work directly with me on strategy and design, with agreed milestones and feedback points. We confirm the scope, price, and timeline before booking. My portfolio and client feedback can help you decide whether my approach fits your business.
-
Not at all. I am based in the Tampa Bay area of Florida and regularly design websites for clients in Sarasota, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Venice, Palmetto, and across the Gulf Coast, plus clients nationwide. If you are local, we can meet in person. If you are not, the whole process runs smoothly over Zoom and email. Sarasota website design is one of my core focuses, but great work is not limited by a zip code.
-
Website builds include basic on-page SEO setup, such as page titles, descriptions, headings, and image alt text within the agreed scope. Rankings and traffic are not guaranteed. Ongoing SEO, content, and marketing support are separately scoped and quoted.
-
For most founder-led small businesses, I recommend Squarespace, because it lets you manage your own site after launch without a developer, while still looking fully custom in the right hands. Many Sarasota web design companies default to WordPress, which is powerful and fast to put together with a template, but can become a maintenance burden for a busy owner. I will always recommend the platform that fits how you actually want to run your business, not the one that keeps you dependent on me.
-
Allow about 2–3 weeks for one page, 4–5 weeks for 3–5 pages, and 7–9 weeks for 6–10 pages, after required materials and access are ready. Brand Launch takes about 5–7 weeks. Commerce timing depends on the catalog and integrations. Your proposal confirms milestones and review dates.
-
That is completely fine and very common. If your site has good bones but feels dated, inconsistent, or off-brand, we do not always need to start from scratch. We will talk through whether a refresh or a full rebuild makes more sense for your goals and budget on the free call, with zero pressure to commit either way.
