One underrated feature of Squarespace:
You can redesign an entire site without touching the live one.
I often rebuild sites behind the scenes, then swap them when everything is ready.
Zero downtime. No broken pages.
(And no one sees the half-finished redesign.) 😍
Curious how other designers handle redesigns. Do you rebuild behind the scenes or update the live site as you go?
Rebuilding behind the scenes is such a smart move. Protects user experience while giving designers room to experiment.
I’ve literally heard clients breathe a sigh of relief when they realize their old site (and email!) stay live until we flip the switch.

Refined the hero section with a softer ivory palette, increased side padding, and a more editorial layout structure. Updated typography and introduced a muted clay accent for a timeless luxury feel, along with a structured CTA to improve hierarchy and conversion focus.

Clean and Awesome!
No one books a home they don't trust.
Redesigning Artic Media's landing page, our priority was to establish that trust.
With clear visuals and structured social proof, we made sure to provide simple navigation that removes friction.
Because people won't come back to a site that doesn't feel safe about their homes.
What’s your thoughts on this redesign?
Strong repositioning. The shift from feature-heavy to trust-forward is clear in the after state. Structuring social proof above the fold likely reduces cognitive friction early in the decision journey.
New interior design hero section exploration clean layout, strong headline, clear CTA, and trust built into the first screen.
I’m open for new website projects 💙.
Love the clarity and focus here the clean layout, strong headline, and clear CTA really set the tone. Feels modern, trustworthy, and ready to convert. Perfect first impression for any interior design brand!
