Let’s build a home for your business.

Relying on social media and mass-marketplace sites leaves you subjected to ever-changing algorithms, rules, and a limited space to tell your story. Having your own website is the only way to be fully in control of how your craft, your business, and your brand is represented.

So let’s build a website for your business, a real place to call home.

How can I help?

We’ll start from the beginning to setup, design, and launch your website using the Squarespace webhosting platform. We’ll secure your custom domain, plan how you want your site to function, and design beautiful pages that speak to your brand. Then we’ll get your products or services listed and get your shop up and running.

I’m Kate

It’s nice to meet you!

I’m a lifelong maker and in 2019 I started my business selling handmade quilts. I spent the next two years refining my brand and building my website. Building my own website was something I found a lot of pride in being able to design and tweak it myself but I found a lot of other makers struggling to do the same. I’d love to help you get your own site up and running and show you how to keep it going!

Professionally, I have spent the last decade in the design and construction industry. As a project manager, I work with clients to guide their projects from idea, to ground-break, to move in, and everywhere in between. Specializing in affordable housing and urban revitalization, I have a knack for finding creative solutions that make a big impact.

You could say I’ve put some years in building people’s dreams, so I’d love the opportunity to help you build yours too!

FAQs

  • When I was starting my business I did a lot of research on the best webhosting sites for creatives that would be easy to build and Squarespace was it. No web building or coding experience required; the platform is user-friendly and easy to customize and tweak as your business grows.

    Since 2019, I’ve watched Squarespace continue to add new features year after year and have felt that they are truly invested in meeting the ever-changing needs of their customers, makers and artists in particular.

  • One & Only does not design image logos. You do not need a logo to build a website but if you are interested in having one designed we can offer references for brand designers.

  • Squarespace has three plans with e-commerce (online store) capabilities. Their webhosting plans range from $276-588 per year depending on your needs.

    Designing your site through One & Only can save you up to 30% off these costs!

    Integrated email marketing plans are an additional $60-288 per year if you choose to integrate this feature.

    Web design services can range quite a bit depending on your needs. An average site is around $1500, but we can get crafty with smaller budgets or go all out with added features.
