Squarespace Website Designer Australia
Custom Squarespace websites that actually look like your brand.
At So Swell Studio, we design and build fully custom Squarespace 7.1 websites for businesses across Australia and internationally. Every site is built from scratch around your brand, your audience, and your goals. No templates, no compromises.
Is Squarespace right for your business?
Squarespace is a strong choice for service-based businesses, studios, consultants, and brands that lead with story and visuals. If you need a polished, content-led site that's straightforward to manage after launch, it's worth considering. Not sure whether Squarespace or Shopify suits your business better? Get in touch and we'll help you decide.
Our Web Design Process
Strategy
A workshop to map your goals, audience, and site structure before anything is designed.
Design
Custom layouts built to your brand. You review and approve before we build.
Build
Full Squarespace 7.1 build with custom CSS, SEO setup, and mobile optimisation. You get two rounds of refinements to make sure everything feels right before we go live.
Launch
Speed checks, Google Search Console submission, video walk-through, and two weeks of email support.
Why choose a custom Squarespace website over a template?
Every layout, font choice, colour application, and spacing decision is made with your brand in mind. The result is a site that feels cohesive and considered, not assembled.
Your site structure, navigation, and calls to action are designed around your specific goals and audience, not borrowed from a generic layout that wasn't made for your industry.
Squarespace has limitations out of the box. Custom CSS and code work lets us push past those, giving you design details and functionality that a standard build simply can't achieve.
Circle Gold is one of the higher tiers of the Squarespace Circle program. It means you're working with a designer who has demonstrated consistent expertise across platform knowledge, technical capability, and design quality.

Squarespace Circle Gold Partner
I’m Tanya and I’m a Squarespace as a Circle Gold Partner. This is one of the higher tiers of the Squarespace Circle program. It's a credential that reflects my consistent expertise across design, technical builds, and platform knowledge.
In practical terms, it means you work directly with a designer who handles everything. Strategy, design, custom code, SEO setup, and the full build. There's no handoff to a developer, no outsourcing, and no one interpreting your brief second-hand. You deal with one person, me, from start to finish.
Currently on Squarespace 7.0? I can handle migrations to 7.1 as part of our services, so you can access the latest features without starting from scratch.
