Project Overview
I am seeking an experienced Squarespace designer to create a refined, minimalist personal advisory website for a senior commercial strategist operating in the funeral and memorialisation sector internationally.
This is not a template-drop project. The site should feel editorial, calm, image-led, and strategically composed — with strong typography, thoughtful spacing, and a premium but understated tone.
All written content is prepared. What I need is design execution and layout expertise.

Project Scope
• Design and build a minimalist Squarespace website (1–2 pages)
• Portrait-led hero section
• Clear sectional homepage structure (not one long "About" page)
• Strong typography and visual hierarchy
• Generous whitespace and rhythm
• Fully mobile-optimised layout
• Clean backend structure using native Squarespace tools
• Basic SEO configuration
• Subtle integration of a discreet Irish/Celtic visual accent (very understated — possibly a watermark or maker's mark style element)
No third-party page builders or heavy plugins.

Design Direction
The aesthetic should feel:
• Editorial and confident
• Minimal and restrained
• Calm, executive, and considered
• Personal but not casual
• Strategic rather than promotional
Avoid:
• Heavy black sections
• Generic CTA buttons ("Learn More")
• Corporate stock photography
• Overly templated layouts
Typography and spacing are critical.
The final site should feel designed, not assembled.

Homepage Structure (Content Provided)
1. Hero (headline + portrait)
2. What We Do
3. Three Capability Areas
• Strategy
• Messaging & Marketing
• Merchandising & Experience
4. How We Work
5. Experience (selected speaking & industry work)
6. About John
7. Contact
Optional: separate Experience page (if designer recommends)

Deliverables
• Fully designed Squarespace website
• Desktop and mobile optimisation
• Consistent typography system
• Clean layout with proper spacing
• Basic SEO settings configured
• Simple handover so I can maintain content updates

What I'm Looking For
• Strong portfolio of minimalist advisory, consultant, or personal brand sites
• Demonstrated control of typography and whitespace
• Ability to interpret design direction and elevate it
• Experience creating custom-feeling builds within Squarespace
Please include:
• 3–5 Squarespace websites you have personally designed
• Your estimated timeline
• Your fixed-price quote
• A short paragraph describing your design approach

Screening Question (Required)
Please briefly describe how you approach whitespace and typography when designing a minimalist advisory website.

Budget
Open to fixed-price proposals.
Quality and design sensibility matter more than lowest cost.
Contract duration of less than 1 month. with 30 hours per week.
Mandatory skills: Squarespace, Wix
Optional skills: Web Design, Web Development
