About Backyard Creative

I build beautiful Squarespace websites for creatives, coaches, and causes.

Just A few of my clients

From idea to reality, from start to finish.

Over the past eight years I’ve built over 200 Squarespace websites for determined, creative, resourceful business owners just like you. Sometimes all you need isn’t another YouTube tutorial, but a real live person who has been there before and learned a trick or two to help translate your ideas into reality.

On the Blog

The bit about me! 👋🏼

It’s me, Claire

For the last eight years, I’ve helped over one two hundred bloggers, photographers, architects, entrepreneurs, schools, non-profits — and once upon a time a Saudi Prince — build an online presence they are proud of. My blog, with over 150 blog posts, consistently ranks at the top of Google results for Squarespace in Africa; I’m a Squarespace Circle member and an official Squarespace Expert, and I also partner with the international design platform 99Designs as one of their top-level designers.
