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 Elle photography website is the perfect fit for you if:
You lean heavily on social media to promote your business and dream of connecting with your perfect clients in a way that requires less energy and output from you.
You regularly receive calls and emails about simple things your website should be able to answer for your customers.
You find your website backend confusing and struggle to make even simple changes. You’re sure there must be a better way. (You’re right, there is!)
Your website is so outdated that it doesn’t really reflect your business anymore and you feel a bit embarrassed sending people to it.
You want to book more clients and make more sales, without relying on paid advertising. (Hello, website that converts organically…)
You need help migrating from Wordpress to Squarespace, or updating your Squarespace website to the new and better version released recently.
You know you need a better website but feel daunted and overwhelmed about the work involved in bringing it to life — you don’t know where to start.

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 photographer 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.

Squarespace photography website examples
Over the past half-decade, we’ve successfully built more than 70 one-week websites for kind and creative businesses across Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, Spain and France. Here is a handful of our favourite photography (and visual creative) branding and website designs.
How it works
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.
