01 Sound familiar?
Is your Squarespace site doing its job?
If any of these sound like your site, they’re fixable inside your own account. Here’s how.
02
“People look, but nobody books.”
How we fix itWe set up Acuity or Squarespace Scheduling and design each page around the one thing you want a visitor to do next.
03
“I’m still on Squarespace 7.0.”
How we fix itA 7.0 site has to be rebuilt in 7.1. We rebuild yours and keep your content and URLs.
04
“Google can’t seem to find me.”
How we fix itWe set SEO titles, descriptions, URL slugs and image alt text properly, and link the site to your Google Business Profile.
02 What you get
Everything a service business needs, on Squarespace

Scheduling built in
Acuity or Squarespace Scheduling, so clients book a time without emailing back and forth.
Fluid Engine layouts tuned for mobile
Each section laid out for a phone, not left to rearrange itself.
Member Areas, Commerce or Courses
Set up if you sell, teach or run a membership.
Email campaigns
Squarespace email campaigns set up and styled to match your site.
SEO settings done properly
SEO titles, descriptions, URL slugs and image alt text on every page.
Google Business Profile link-up
Your site connected to your Google Business Profile.
Training and 30 days of support

03 How we work
Three things we do differently
A Squarespace site should look custom, take bookings and need no upkeep. Here’s how we get all three.
Design first
You approve the design before we build anything
You get your homepage designed for desktop and mobile first. Two rounds of changes are included, and we only start building once you say yes.
Homepage designed before the build
Two rounds of changes included
Custom CSS where the template falls short
Built to book
Clients book without emailing back and forth
Coaches, therapists and service businesses live on bookings. We set up Acuity or Squarespace Scheduling and put the booking button where people look for it.

Zero maintenance
Nothing to update, ever
Squarespace runs the hosting and the security, so there are no plugins to update and no server to look after. The site stays in your account, and we show you how to edit it.

Who should build your Squarespace site?
An honest look at the three usual ways to get a Squarespace site built. The right choice depends on your budget, your timeline and how hands-on you want to be.
| Question | Next Nova | Typical local agency | Freelancer or DIY |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price for a small business site | Fixed, $1,490–$2,900 | Commonly $1,500–$10,000 in the US | Varies widely; DIY costs your time |
| How the price works | Fixed quote before work starts | Fixed or hourly, depending on the agency | Often hourly, or your own hours |
| Who you talk to | A senior person, from the first call | Often an account manager | The person doing the work |
| Working hours | Overlap with the US working day | Local business hours | Depends on the person |
| Meeting in person | Video calls only | Usually possible | Sometimes |
| Design approved before build | Yes, with 2 rounds of changes | Usually | Varies |
| Who owns the site and logins | You, from day one | Usually you; check the contract | Varies; agree it before you start |
| After launch | 30 days free support, then an optional care plan | Retainer or hourly support | When they’re available |
Where we’re not the best fit
If you want to meet in person every week, or you need someone on site, a local agency is the better choice. And if you enjoy design and have the time, Squarespace’s templates are good enough to start on your own.

09 Is it right for you?
Who Squarespace is for, and who it isn’t
Squarespace isn’t the right answer for everyone. Here’s how to tell before you spend a dollar.
A good fit if you…
Are a coach, creative, therapist or service business that wants a polished site.
Want almost no upkeep. Squarespace handles hosting and security.
Take bookings and want scheduling built in.
Care about design and want a site that looks custom.
Probably not a fit if you…
Plan to publish a lot of content and grow on Google. WordPress gives you more room.
Mainly sell products. A Shopify store is built for that.
Want more apps and layout freedom. Wix may suit you better.
Need custom features, like a client portal. That’s a custom web app.
10 Questions
Straight answers
Still unsure about something? Message us. A real person replies.
Ask on WhatsAppSquarespace or Wix?
Squarespace for a polished, design-led site with almost no upkeep. Wix for more apps and layout freedom.
Can you redesign my existing Squarespace site?
Yes. We redesign inside your account, so your domain, emails and store stay connected.
Can you move my site from Squarespace 7.0 to 7.1?
Yes. 7.0 sites must be rebuilt in 7.1; we keep your content and URLs.
Is Squarespace good for SEO?
Good enough for most service businesses. Content, reviews and local SEO matter far more than the platform.
How long does a Squarespace website take?
Most Squarespace sites go live in 3 weeks: design in week 1, build in week 2, launch and training in week 3.
Do I need to update anything after launch?
No. Squarespace handles hosting, security and platform updates, so there are no plugins to keep up to date.
