Squarespace Web Designer | Vancouver, BC Canada
Squarespace Web Designer for Vancouver's Service Businesses
Vancouver is full of talented service businesses doing incredible work. Let's make sure yours is the one that gets found. I build strategic, custom Squarespace sites for Vancouver's coaches, consultants, and service business owners, written and built for you, so your website finally matches the standard of your work.
Close Enough to Know the Market. Far Enough to Bring a Fresh Eye.
I'm based in Victoria, a ferry ride away, which means Vancouver is very much part of my world. I work with clients across Canada, including Vancouver BC and I understand the market you're operating in: design-forward, professionally competitive, and full of service providers who take their brand seriously.
I’m Erin Clayton, a Squarespace web designer and copywriter specializing in strategic websites for service businesses, consultants, coaches, wellness practitioners, and professional service providers in Yaletown, Kitsilano, North Vancouver, East Van, Burnaby, Richmond, and across the Lower Mainland.
What makes my approach different from most Vancouver web designers: I don’t just design your website. I write it. Depending on the package you choose, we work through your messaging together using a focused strategy workbook or I handle the writing entirely through a done-for-you extraction interview. Either way, you’re not staring at a blank page and your website sounds like the polished professional you already are.
In a city where your potential clients have no shortage of options, your website is often the deciding factor. What they find when they land on your page either earns their trust or sends them somewhere else.
What's included in every custom Squarespace website.
Hiring a web designer should be a relief, not another project on your to-do list.
I bring a steady, strategic lens to every build, blending custom Squarespace design with the professional writing you need to reach your audience. My goal is to remove the technical friction and build a website that matches the high standard of your work.

Professional Website Copywriting: Done For You
Writing about yourself is the hardest part of any website project — and the part most people stall on for months. I remove that bottleneck entirely.
Through a structured process, I extract your expertise and write every word on your website: clear, confident, conversion-focused copy that sounds exactly like you.
-
Custom Squarespace Design: Built to Last
I build exclusively on Squarespace because it gives you real independence after launch. Update your content, add a blog post, or change your pricing — without calling anyone. No tech anxiety, no monthly retainer, no dependency. Just a platform that works as hard as you do.
-
SEO & Strategy: Built Into Every Build
A beautiful website that no one can find is just an expensive hobby. Every site I build includes keyword research, intentional page structure, and on-page SEO foundations — so your Squarespace website is positioned to rank from day one, not just look good.

This is for you if:
You're a consultant, coach, therapist, photographer, financial advisor, or professional service provider in Vancouver, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, or anywhere in the Lower Mainland

You're surrounded by well-branded competitors and your online presence hasn't kept up

Kind Words from Past Clients

★★★★★
"I found Erin through my daughter when she was recommended in a local Facebook group, and I knew right away she was the photographer I wanted. What I didn't expect was discovering she also designs websites. After an initial audit of my existing site I hired her on the spot to rebuild my entire online presence.
Because she had spent so much time understanding my brand through the web design process, our photo shoot in Victoria, BC felt completely seamless. She already knew exactly what we needed. The whole experience was fun, focused, and perfectly aligned with what I was trying to create.
Erin genuinely cares about your business and your goals. She has a real gift for keeping you on track while making the whole process feel easy. I'm certain we'll work together again."

Frequently Asked Questions — Vancouver, BC Web Design
Do you work with Vancouver clients remotely?
Yes, everything is handled virtually. Strategy sessions, design reviews, and your launch walkthrough all happen over Google Meet. This keeps the process efficient and means I can work with clients across Vancouver, the Lower Mainland, and Canada-wide without any geographic limitations.
How much does a Squarespace web designer cost in Vancouver?
Every project is scoped to what you actually need, so pricing varies depending on the package and level of support that’s the right fit. Full up-to-date pricing is on my Services page, but what you’ll always find is a flat project fee with no surprise invoices and no ongoing retainer paid to me.
Can you help my Vancouver website show up on Google?
Yes, and it's built into every project from the start. Every website I build includes keyword research specific to your niche and location, on-page SEO setup across every page, intentional heading structure, optimized metadata, and image alt text that actually describes what's on the page. For Vancouver service businesses, I also layer in location-specific language so your site signals relevance to both Google and the people searching in your area. SEO isn't an add-on. It's part of how I build.
Do I need to hire a local Vancouver web designer?
Not necessarily, and most of my Vancouver clients would tell you the location ended up being irrelevant once we got started. Everything happens virtually: strategy sessions, design reviews, feedback rounds, and your launch walkthrough. What matters more than geography is finding someone who understands your market, your industry, and how to build a site that converts. That said, being just across the water in Victoria means I know the Vancouver market well and I'm available in the same time zone with no scheduling gymnastics.
Why Should I hire a BC-based web designer for my Vancouver business?
Honestly, the location matters less than the background. Before landing in Victoria, I spent my corporate years in communications and marketing in Ontario across the banking, tech, and energy sectors. That experience shaped how I think about websites: not as pieces of art, but as business tools that need to perform.
Vancouver clients know the difference. They're used to working with polished, professional brands and they can tell immediately when a website doesn't match that bar. My corporate background means I bring that same level of strategic rigour to every project, whether you're a solo consultant or a growing firm.
What you get is a website that feels like it belongs in a major market, because the person who built it understands what that actually means. All of it handled virtually, on a flat CAD fee, with no retainer and no surprises. Full pricing is on my Services page.
Why Squarespace and not WordPress or Showit?
Squarespace gives you the highest quality design output with the lowest ongoing maintenance burden. No plugins to update, no security vulnerabilities, no developer needed after launch. For Vancouver service business owners who want a professional site they can manage themselves, it's consistently the right platform.
How long does the project take?
Most projects launch within one to three weeks depending on the package. My process is designed to keep momentum and you won’t be waiting months for a website. The Foundational Website (one-page site) typically launches in one week. The Signature Website (full multi-page build with done-for-you copywriting) takes three weeks.
Can you redesign my existing Squarespace website?
Yes. A lot of Vancouver business owners come to me with a Squarespace site they built themselves or had built a few years ago that no longer reflects where their business is. The redesign process looks the same as a new build: we start with strategy, clarify your messaging, and rebuild the site properly from the ground up. I don't patch and tweak. If the foundation isn't right, we rebuild it so it's done once and done well.
What types of Vancouver businesses do you design websites for?
I specialize in service-based businesses where trust and expertise are the main selling points. That includes executive coaches, business consultants, therapists and counsellors, naturopaths and wellness practitioners, photographers, financial advisors, HR consultants, lawyers, and other professional service providers across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. If your business relies on someone choosing you specifically, your website needs to do the work of building that trust before you ever speak to them. That's exactly what I build.
Do you only work with female-led businesses?
While you might notice I often speak to women in business, that's where my focus tends to land. My clients are mostly solo service providers and small teams, and I work with any business owner who wants a strategic, well-written website that earns trust from the first scroll. Regardless of who you are, the work is the same: clear messaging, smart design, and a site that actually brings in the right people.
