WHEN YOU'VE CHANGED, BUT YOUR WEBSITE HASN'T.

Squarespace websites for women at a turning point in their work.

I help coaches, therapists, practitioners and creatives turn who they've become into a clear, beautiful Squarespace website: one that finally feels like them, and that they can run with confidence.

WHERE YOU MIGHT BE RIGHT NOW

Your work has grown, but your website is still describing who you used to be.

✓ You've left a group practice or organisation to go out on your own.
✓ You've retrained, rebranded or changed direction, and your site still tells the old story.
✓ You've been patching together a DIY site for years, and it no longer matches the quality of your work.
✓ You're finally launching the thing you've been dreaming about: a practice, a retreat, a book, a body of work.
✓ You know what you do, but explaining it in a way that sounds like you feels impossible.
✓ You'd rather do almost anything than send someone your website link.

You've outgrown your old online presence, but you can't quite picture what should replace it.

That gap is exactly where I come in.

WHERE YOU'LL BE

A website that feels like a truer version of you

01.

You feel understood.

Your website reflects who you are now and the work you actually do, not a template's idea of a coach or a therapist.

02.

Your work is clear.

The right people understand what you offer, feel drawn in, and know exactly what to do next.

03.

You're in charge.

You know how to update your site yourself, so it can grow as you do. No waiting on a designer for every small change.

Most of all, you'll feel relieved, energised, and proud to share your link.

My Process

  • Desktop computer at an artsy looking work station with pot plant

    01. Listen.

    We start with your story, not a template. I ask good questions and listen for what's underneath, so the design begins with who you are now.

  • A neutral colour palette graphic with a handful of herbs in the background

    02. Translate.

    I turn what I hear into clear structure and visual language: the pages you need, the words that matter, and colours, fonts and images that feel like you.

  • A mockup of a neutral toned website on a MacBook Pro

    03. Build.

    I design and build your site on Squarespace and handle the technical side, so you never need to speak “designer”. Short videos keep you in the loop at every step.

  • Mural with half a yellow sun on the right hand side

    04. Hand over.

    You get training videos made for your site, so you can update it with confidence long after we're done.

WHO YOU'LL BE WORKING WITH

Hi, I’m Claire.

Claire Brear Squarespace Web Designer and Expert

I'm a Squarespace designer based in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, and I've spent years working with women doing meaningful, often deeply personal work: coaches, therapists, healers, artists and makers.

What I do best is bridge two worlds. I can sit with the half-formed ideas and big feelings that come with a turning point, and I can also handle the structure, layouts and technical details a website needs, in the right order. My clients often tell me I "caught their vibe". I think it's because I listen first and design second.

I've been a Squarespace Circle Member since 2017, launched over 200 Squarespace sites, and have five-star reviews from clients in 16+ countries.

YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING…
