The Process
What To Anticipate
01. Preperation
Before our scheduled session, you will receive a discovery questionnaire focused on your Charlotte market goals and a secure space to upload your content. Please note that we will not create any content for you. To ensure a smooth process, it’s essential to provide your website copy including any Charlotte neighborhood information, service descriptions, or local market expertise prior to our build session. If you plan to use AI-generated content, we recommend personalizing it with Charlotte-specific details beforehand, as generic content may negatively affect your site’s performance in local searches.
02. Discovery & Strategy
On our scheduled designated day, we will meet virtually to discuss your goals and wishlist for the website. Given the expedited nature of our sessions, we limit internal pages to five (excluding the homepage). Should you need more than this, we can provide a revised estimate and timeline.
03. Design & Development
Following our strategy discussion, our team will commence the design phase, building out your Squarespace site over the next 2-3 business days, based on your specific requirements.
04. Refinments & Launch
Once the build is complete, we will reconnect to review the site together. Due to time constraints, we kindly request that revisions be limited to one round. Additional changes may extend your launch timeline.
05. Training & Support
FAQs
What is a Squarespace Express Studio Session?
A dedicated studio session is a one to two week website build.
Is it just Squarespace sites?
Yes, Express Studio Sessions are specifically designed for Squarespace websites.
Are there any hidden costs that I should be aware of?
Yes. Since our websites are built on Squarespace, you will be required to purchase a subscription through Squarespace. Available pricing and plans can be found here. You will also be responsible for purchasing your domain. That can be purchased either on Squarespace or elsewhere. If you register your domain on a platform NOT on Squarespace, we will need the logins so we can update the records come time for launch.
Do I need to be available the whole week?
How do I prepare for my session?
Once you book, you’ll receive a prep guide to help you gather content, images, and logins. We’ll also have a planning call beforehand to make sure everything’s aligned and ready to go when your session arrives.
How far in advance should I book?
We require at least two weeks in advance. This will provide you enough time to prep and gather your materials.
Are revisions included beyond our time together?
No, if you need additional work done, we can schedule additional time under a fixed hourly rate.
Can I add IDX/MLS listings for my Charlotte real estate business?
Squarespace has limitations for IDX integration. If you’re a Charlotte realtor who needs robust IDX functionality to showcase MLS listings, we recommend our full custom WordPress website design service instead. If you are looking for a complete IDX website build, we can refer you to someone within our network who specializes in IDX. Express Sessions work best for realtors who want a professional branding site with contact forms and featured listings rather than full MLS integration.
Do you handle any SEO or AEO work for my website?
Yes! Your website will be optimized for SEO and AEO by the time we launch your site. We will also connect you to Google Analytics and Bing Web Masters.
Are there any ongoing support packages available?
No. Our sites are designed to allow you to maintain them completely on your own. If you need additional support, we can discuss options come time of launch.
Do you offer logo and branding design?
Yes, we do offer express packages for branding that can be coupled with your website. These come at an additional cost and will add to the overall timeline of your express session.
Is there a limit to the number of pages I can have on my website?
Yes, we cap the number of pages to 5. This includes the homepage.
I manage a blog/e-commerce shop, do I qualify for an express studio session?
We will only build your website with 5 pages. This includes the homepage. This does not include blogs, events or e-commerce products.
