What’s the difference between a 1 Day, 1 Week, and Signature Website Build?
Finding the right website experience for your business (and season of life)
Not every business needs an 8-page bespoke website right now. Sometimes, you just need to get online fast with something beautiful that reflects your brand – and other times, you're ready for the whole, carefully-considered experience. That’s why I offer three website design options at different price points, timelines, and depths – so you can choose what works best for your current needs without compromising on quality.
Here’s how each experience compares, and how to know which is right for you:
Website in a Day: One VIP Day
A one-page site that gets your business online fast – without looking rushed. Think of this as your online elevator pitch: clean, clear, and conversion-ready. This option is fast and focused, perfect for getting seen and booked now, with space to grow later when the time (or budget) is right.
Includes: 1 single one-page site
Turnaround: 1 day (8-hour VIP Day)
Investment: $1000 NZD
Best for:
Startups or new businesses
Service providers needing a quick but professional web presence
Anyone with a clear idea of their content, but a limited budget or timeframe
Not suited for:
Those needing multiple pages or advanced features
Anyone who wants multiple feedback rounds or lots of design direction
Businesses with large, complex content needs
The Website in a Week experience is ideal if your business is in motion, but your website hasn’t caught up. You’ll get a clean, high-quality, custom site built on Squarespace 7.1 – designed to reflect your professionalism, connect with your audience, and grow with you over time. With 4 core pages (Home, About, Services, Contact), it gives you a solid foundation to start showing up confidently and booking dream clients.
This experience moves quickly and efficiently and is a powerful midpoint between DIY and high-end custom – and an excellent launchpad for future expansion.
Turnaround: 1 week (5 business days)
Investment: $2000 NZD
Best for:
Service-based businesses with existing content
Anyone needing a solid online home without a long wait
Those ready to upgrade from DIY or out-of-date websites
Not suited for:
Businesses that want custom page layouts, integrations, or interactive features
Projects with lots of content or multiple decision-makers
Anyone who wants a slower, more collaborative process with deeper refinement
The premium, all-in, let’s-tell-your-whole-story experience. Tailored, timeless, and built to last. The complete, custom-built experience – no detail overlooked. This is the most comprehensive and collaborative experience. You’ll get up to 8 custom pages (plus all the integrations, strategy, and behind-the-scenes tech you won’t have to worry about). This is where we have time to fine-tune every visual detail, craft intentional navigation, incorporate special features (like blogs, galleries, FAQs, booking forms, and more), and create a seamless user experience that elevates your entire business.
It’s a white-glove design process designed to take the mental load off your plate and deliver a future-proof online presence you can confidently grow with for years. This is the “I’m all in” package – and the results speak for themselves.
Turnaround: 4 weeks
Investment: $5000 NZD
Best for:
Established businesses ready to scale or reposition
Brands who want every page to reflect their quality, values, and personality
Creatives and service-providers who are done DIY-ing and want it done right
Not suited for:
Those in a rush or unsure of their content and brand direction
Businesses looking for a simple or stopgap solution
Which Squarespace Website Experience Fits Your Business Best?
Website in a Day
Get online fast with a one-page site that still looks polished and professional. It’s your businesses elevator pitch – simply designed, launched, and done in a day.
Website in a Week
A high-quality, strategic website built quickly – without cutting corners. Perfect if you're ready to grow and expand later but not quite ready for all the bells and whistles just yet.
Signature Website
The one and only website you’ll need for years to come. Deeply custom, highly considered, and built to reflect your business in its best light – beautifully, intentionally, and without compromise.
