Introducing: Squarespace Fridays

I’m super excited today to be introducing a brand new service at the studio: Squarespace Fridays! 

Squarespace Fridays is a service where you can book me, by the hour, to dive into your existing Squarespace website and make things better. 

Every Friday (in case that wasn’t clear 😆).

If you’ve been staring at your Squarespace site, desperate to change a few things - layout, fonts, the mobile version - but you just don’t know where to begin, or don’t have the energy or time, then a Squarespace Friday session is just for you! 

Maybe your ‘to-do list’ is a mile long, but you don’t have time (or budget) for a full site redesign right now…

Now, you can book in some time with me, by the hour, and I’ll get to work on all the things that have been bugging you on your website. 

And no, you don’t have to be an author to take advantage of this! I’m really happy to work with all kinds of small businesses and other creatives. 

I believe your website should be working for you, not against you. 

And sometimes, you just need someone with experience to jump in and get things moving. 

That’s where Squarespace Fridays comes in.

In this post I’ll walk you through:

  • What I can help with

  • Who it’s for

  • How the sessions work

  • Why this is a smart investment

  • FAQs 


What can we actually do in a Squarespace Friday session?

Well, basically, anything you like, provided it’s on your Squarespace website!

Here are some examples of what I can help you with:

Design & Structure

  • Refresh fonts, colours, or layout to modernise your site

  • Reorganise navigation menus to improve flow

  • Make pages look consistent: spacing, alignment, button styling

  • Add new sections (testimonials, contact forms, portfolio grids)

  • Improve mobile responsiveness, so your site works beautifully on phones 

  • Tidy up any areas that you’ve somehow broken 😆(would it make you feel better if I told you this was my no. 1 request from my past clients?!)

Content & Maintenance

  • Upload blog posts, podcast episodes, or new projects

  • Update pricing, testimonials, images

  • Tidy your image library, file structure, or content inventory

  • Make seasonal or launch-specific updates

  • Remove or reorganise outdated content

  • Check links and suggest places for improvement

  • Make sure your on-page SEO is all working as it should

Strategy & Advice

  • Review your site for clarity and conversion (are visitors to your website taking the actions you want?)

  • Advise you on growing your email list via your site

  • Brainstorm page layouts that work better

  • Give feedback on user experience, site navigation and any other issues that concern you

Basically, if you’re looking for a change or fix inside your Squarespace website, and the site is live (not in trial mode), then I’m your woman!

Who is Squarespace Fridays for?

This new service is a great fit if you:

  • Have bits and pieces of your site you’d like to improve, but you’re stuck or scared of messing things up

  • Built the site yourself (go you!) but want to polish things with a pro

  • Don’t have the budget or time right now for a full redesign

  • Need help right now, without waiting weeks or months for my next available design slot

  • Want someone to bounce ideas off: to pick my brain about web design or newsletters

You don’t need to be an author (though many of my clients are). As long as your site is on Squarespace 7.1 and already live, you’re good to go.


How Squarespace Fridays work 

Here’s what booking and collaborating with me looks like:

  1. Get in touch 

    Use the contact form below to drop me a line and explain what you’d like me to do. I’ll come back to you with details of my availability and how much time we’ll need.

  2. Choose your slot
    You pick a Friday that works for you. (I typically have availability within a fortnight so this is great if you’re in need or urgent help or support).

  3. Submit your wishlist
    Tell me what you’d like me to help with. I don’t expect you to have it all figured out — I’ll guide you if you don’t, or just take what you give me and run with it.

  4. Confirm & pay
    A 50% deposit secures your slot in my calendar.

  5. Sit back & relax
    Your Friday comes and I make the changes we’ve discussed. When we’re done, I’ll email you with the results.

You can book a 1-hour minimum, or go for multiple hours if you have a lot of changes you’d like made. You can also spread sessions over time. 

If you’re not sure how much time you need, just send me your list and I’ll help you estimate.

Investment: £150 per hour.

Important details:

  • Only for live Squarespace sites - unfortunately this service is not available for sites that are still in trial mode, and I don’t work on other platforms such as Wix or Wordpress. 

  • Cancellation or rescheduling is allowed up to 48 hours before. After that, your deposit is non-refundable (but I’ll try to help if something comes up). 

  • I don’t cover domain setup, email configuration, or issues outside of the Squarespace platform - this time is strictly “hands-on in your Squarespace site” work.


Why I’ve introduced Squarespace Fridays

I know there are a lot of people out there who could do with some help on their websites.

But I also know there are lot of people out there who don’t have the budget (especially authors!) to pay a web designer to build their websites from scratch for them.

I was already offering Friday slots to my past web design clients - they could book in if they needed to make an update or wanted some help with their website.

It’s been working really well, and I thought it made sense to offer this up to a broader audience.

For me, I find it immensely satisfying helping people to tidy up their websites - and for you guys, I hope it’s a time-saver and a relief too!

Why book me

You might wonder: what’s the benefit of booking one hour with a web designer, rather than trying to learn it yourself, or waiting until a full project?

Here are some reasons:

  • Efficiency: You don’t need to spend weeks fumbling through settings. In just one hour, you’ll get meaningful improvements.

  • Expert eyes: You get someone who knows design, UX, and Squarespace intricacies taking an in-depth look at your site. I can spot any issues you might overlook.

  • Flexibility: You’re not locking into a full redesign. You control what gets done, when.

  • Momentum: Small changes can add up. Fixing a few things can make your site feel polished, more usable, and more trustworthy to visitors.

  • Value: You get high-quality, professional support in a fraction of the time and cost of a full redesign.

  • Support when you need it: Whether you need help once or want to come back often, I’m here! I also offer custom support packages if you want regular check-ins. 


Real words from real clients

“The brilliant Charlotte Duckworth has just revitalised my much-neglected website and she has done it so efficiently and reasonably. I can’t recommend her more highly.”

— SARAH VAUGHAN, AUTHOR OF ANATOMY OF A SCANDAL

“I’m absolutely delighted with my refreshed website. So much cleaner and easier to navigate. When I set it up myself I made kind of a mess of things and I kept putting off doing anything about it. I couldn’t recommend Charlotte highly enough, it was utterly painless”

– JULIANA ADELMAN, AUTHOR OF THE GRATEFUL WATER

“CHARLOTTE! The refreshed website looks absolutely gorgeous, thank you so, so much”

– HOLLY RACE, AUTHOR OF SIX WILD CROWNS

This kind of feedback makes me excited to help more people get their sites where they want them to be!


FAQs

Q: How soon can I book?
Usually within a week or two. If you’re in a hurry, just reach out and I’ll see what I can do. 

Q: What if I don’t know what updates I need?
No worries. Tell me what’s bugging you about your site, or what feels off. I’ll look over it before our session and come up with a realistic plan to get the most done.

Q: Can I book more than one hour?
Absolutely. You can book multiple hours or multiple sessions. If you’re unsure, send me what you’d like done and I’ll help you estimate.

Q: Do you offer ongoing support?
Yes! Many clients return for tweaks and help over time. If you like, I can build you a custom support package so you always have time reserved. 

Q: What about everything outside Squarespace: domains, email, etc.?
Squarespace Fridays is focused on your site itself. I don’t handle domains, email setup, or non-Squarespace platform work during these sessions. If that’s something you need help with, I can point you toward resources or someone specialising in those.

Let’s make your website work for you

I have to confess, I have resisted offering a service like this for a long time.

I worried that the admin side of it (dealing with multiple clients for small amounts of work) would become overwhelming.

However, as I said before, I’ve been essentially offering this service to my past clients for a couple of years now and it works really well.

And I know there are tons more people who could benefit from some highly targeted quick support with their websites.

So let’s see!

If this sounds like the website service you’ve been waiting for then please use the contact form below to get in touch! 

Or if you have any feedback or suggestions for any other services that you’d find helpful, then I’d love to hear about those too.
