I felt 100% confident in what was happening the whole way through. The videos to explain everything are excellent. And I’m so happy with the design handed over at the end.”

Not your average Squarespace template (say good-bye to DIY)
Far more than stock-standard, cookie-cutter Squarespace templates, our designs have hundreds of hours of research, thought and creativity poured into each one.
They are carefully designed to evoke emotion and take visitors on a gentle journey through your website, creating connection and boosting sales.
And you can say good-bye to all the fiddling and frustration of DIY. Our one-week websites are a ‘done for you’ service. You provide the words and imagery, we do the rest.
Your expertly crafted and beautifully branded Squarespace website will be ready to go within 5 business days!
The Earth eco Squarespace website is the perfect fit for you if:
You struggle to communicate all the good work you’re doing for our planet because your current website is so outdated and messy.
You dream of a site that does the legwork for you, helping you generate a steady income so you can focus on doing the real work, in the real world.
You’re a sole operator or a small team and don’t have the time or budget to fiddle around in a complicated website backend — you need a site that’s simple to update.
You want to attract partnerships with other sustainable organisations or media but need to create a more professional online presence first.
You’re currently paying all sorts of fees for various systems and platforms — you’re sure there must be a better and cheaper way. (You’re right, there is!)
You lean heavily on social media to promote your work and want a central place to collate all your projects and achievements, increasing your professional visibility.

Values

Kind to people and planet
Kind websites are kind to the people using them – both your visitors and you. We prioritise designs that are easy to use, navigate and manage, and are accessible for people of all types of abilities. Kind user journeys and intentionally light design help to lower your website carbon footprint, too.
-
Calm and ethical
Calm design is gentle on your visitors’ nervous systems. It removes distractions and encourages curiosity, leading them on a natural journey of exploration. In a world of information overwhelm, this is a big point of difference, helping your business to stand out.
-
Credibility and connection
Our designs establish credibility and connect deeply with the right audiences. Infused with your brand’s personality, values and contribution to the world. Your website becomes a conduit for creating an engaged and trusting community.
Meet your web designer, Alana Jade
I’m an Australian Squarespace web designer, plant-based food enthusiast, clarinetist and nature lover, with a passion for minimalist business practices and simple, kind living.
I specialise in designing Squarespace websites that are good for people and our planet.
My designs are gentle on the nervous system — calming, understated, easy to navigate and infused with beauty and transparency. As it just so happens, kind user journeys also help to lower your website carbon footprint too.
Over and over, my clients tell me how supported, relaxed and clear they feel during their website build with me. Music to my ears! And their clients are happy too — the sold-out classes, workshops and services prove it.

Kind words from our clients
Alana, you are next level amazing. You nailed everything so well, no stone was left unturned. You went over and above my expectations for the website design and execution, the use of my branding and photos was so reflective of my style - you nailed it. Hands down the best customer service ever!”
Honey Atkinson – photographer, NSW, Australia
Eco website design clients
Over the past half-decade, we’ve successfully built more than 70 one-week websites for ethical businesses across Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, Spain and France. Here is a handful of our favourite branding and website designs with people and businesses who are working to protect our planet.
Our ethical web design process for non profits and eco-businesses
Our website in a week process is for you if:
Your nervous system and your energy levels feel healthier working within a short, contained timeline rather than a long drawn-out project.
You like the idea of visually seeing what you’re going to get before you invest — this gives you a deep sense a calm.
Working within a framework and following a proven, step-by-step process feels good to you and helps to keep you focused.
You appreciate a kind and calm approach to how you do business and love collaborating with other women who feel the same.
You want to make your business (and the internet) a kinder and more inclusive place for all types of people.

Kind words from our clients
“Alana is the best. From the get-go Alana was super personable, communicative and easy to work with. Any random idea that I threw onto the table was always welcomed, after some web-design fairy dust sprinkling and it all came together. It felt like I was working with a friend, but this friend also knows what they're doing with professional website design, haha. The process was smooth and the final product was exactly what I was looking for.”
Kym Ormond – permaculture and sustainable living advocate, adelaide, South Australia

Frequently asked questions
-
What’s needed in a nonprofit website will vary depending on your organisation’s unique requirements, but some essential features include ways to accept donations, recruit volunteers, and share resources, all while presenting your work in a professional and transparent way. Equally important is ensuring the website is easy to navigate, both for the people visiting and for the team members managing it behind the scenes.
The Earth one-week Squarespace website has been thoughtfully created with a flexible mix-and-match design, allowing you to choose the exact functionality you need, providing everything you need to communicate your mission clearly and effectively. With duplicatable page templates and a library of helpful how-to videos, your team can easily keep the site up to date as your organisation evolves.
This approach is rooted in our kind design philosophy. By prioritising calm, intuitive layouts and accessible design, the Earth website is gentle on visitors and straightforward for you to manage.

While custom-designed websites can cost upwards of $7,000+ and take weeks to design and build, our one-week non profit Squarespace design requires just a fraction of this investment and time. Within 5 business days, your new online home will be built and ready for you to share with confidence – all for around $3,500.
-
While Squarespace doesn’t offer discounts specifically for non profits, there are still plenty of discount options. For example, we can arrange a 20% discount on your first year of website hosting.

Just one week! Unlike other web design agencies – which typically take months to build a new website – we follow our unique and proven one-week website model – which means we can have your website up and running within just 5 business days.
-
It’s a great question. Especially for those who are either just starting out with a new website or for those considering moving from one platform to another. The platform you choose will largely depend on your business requirements.
However, at Alana Jade Studio, we use and recommend Squarespace. This is because Squarespace is super easy to use. And the great news is that it is WAY easier to use than Wordpress.
We used to build websites on Wordpress and what we started to notice was that our clients found creating and editing Wordpress pages and blog posts incredibly time-consuming and frustrating. Not to mention, Wordpress comes with a whole heap of self-maintenance and technical garbage you just don’t have to deal with on Squarespace.
We write more about Squarespace vs Wordpress here. In a nutshell, when you’re just starting out or you’ve got a small team, your organisation is growing and evolving, it’s incredibly important that your website supports all this easily.
We’ve been building websites on Squarespace since 2019 now and have not looked back.
-
We sure do! One of our core design values is kind design. Kind websites are kind to the people using them – that includes you! So we prioritise designs that are easy to use, navigate and manage.
We also empower you to manage your own website going forward, so it can evolve with your business and remain sustainable long-term. We achieve this through our unique design and coding methodology, combined with the Squarespace website platform and a library of instructional step-by-step videos so you can easily find answers to any questions. And of course, personal email support is included too.
-
All our designs require the Business Squarespace plan (see pricing for Squarespace here). You’ll also need to purchase your domain name (website URL) and possibly an email account. If you choose to host your domain and email account with Squarespace, you may be able to get the first year of domain and email hosting for free. And if none of this makes sense, don’t worry, book a chat and we can talk through your specific requirements and Alana can guide you from there.
-
We recommend that you allow at least four weeks between booking your project and the website build week to allow enough time to complete your website starter kit and prepare all your content. Our schedule tends to book up 4-6 weeks in advance. However, we can sometimes accommodate rush projects, if you’re working towards a very definite timeline. Reach out as soon as you can to get the process started.
