OUR STRATEGIC WEB DESIGN PROCESS GOES DEEPER
BEAUTIFUL ⎯⎯ IS THE BASELINE. WE GET INTO THE NITTY GRITTY.
01. STRATEGY
Positioning before pixels. Before we design anything, we get clear on the who, what, when, where, and how.
02. PSYCHOLOGY
Designed around how people actually choose. Good design isn’t just visual, it’s behavioral.
03. CREATIVE
Distinctive enough to feel unmistakably yours. We turn the strategy into a custom digital experience.
04. OPTIMIZATION
Built to be found. Built to perform. SEO isn’t just something we sprinkle on at launch, we plan for it.
A high-performing website needs more than good design. With 15+ years across branding, marketing, web design and SEO, plus a foundation in psychology, we bring strategy, human behavior, creative direction and search together from the start.
Because the best websites don't just look good. They help the right people find you, understand you, trust you and take action.

FAQS
-
Custom website projects begin at $8,500, with most Signature Website engagements falling between $10,000–$15,000 depending on the size of the site, content needs, functionality and overall scope.
Every project is strategically built around your business rather than priced as a generic page-by-page website package.
-
Our website projects combine strategy, positioning, site architecture, search planning, custom Squarespace design, responsive development, conversion thinking and foundational SEO.
Your exact scope is outlined before the project begins so there are clear expectations around pages, functionality, integrations, revisions and deliverables.
-
Yes. Lovely Grit has particular experience working with mental health practices, therapists, psychologists, physical therapy practices, healthcare and wellness brands.
These businesses often need to balance credibility, warmth, differentiation, search visibility and trust — which is exactly where our strategy-led approach works particularly well.
-
No. Health and wellness is a specialty, not a restriction.
We also selectively work with expert-led businesses and service brands outside of healthcare when the project is a strong fit for our strategic and creative approach.
-
We specialize in Squarespace because it allows us to create highly customized, polished websites without leaving clients dependent on a developer for every future update.
It’s flexible, intuitive, reliable and particularly well suited for service businesses and practices that need a sophisticated website they can realistically manage after launch.
And no — custom Squarespace design does not mean choosing a template and swapping in your logo.
-
Yes. Foundational SEO is built into our website process rather than treated as an afterthought.
Depending on scope, this can include keyword and search-intent research, sitemap planning, title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, internal linking, image optimization, Search Console and analytics setup, and on-page optimization of core pages.
Ongoing search growth, content development and continued optimization are available through our monthly SEO services.
-
Yes - and existing search visibility should be considered before a redesign launches.
When redesigning a website with established traffic, we review important existing pages, URLs, search performance and site structure so valuable search equity isn't unnecessarily lost during the transition.
Where URLs change, redirects and migration considerations are built into the launch plan.
-
Every website project includes strategic guidance around messaging, hierarchy and what each page needs to communicate.
Full website copywriting can be added to your project when you want Lovely Grit to take a more hands-on role in writing the content itself.
-
Our Signature Websites are custom designed around your strategy, brand, content and audience.
Squarespace provides the underlying platform, but the visual direction, page structure, user experience and design system are created specifically for your business.
-
Website projects are paid in installments.
An initial payment is required to reserve your project start date, with the remaining investment due according to the milestones outlined in your proposal and agreement.
-
Most Signature Website projects take approximately 4–6 weeks once production begins, depending on the size and complexity of the project and how quickly content and feedback are provided.
Because we intentionally limit the number of custom websites in production at one time, projects may be reserved in advance.
-
Absolutely.
If your visual identity or positioning needs work before the website is designed, branding can be incorporated into the overall engagement.
Brand + Website projects are scoped separately based on the depth of strategy and identity work required.
-
Yes. Lovely Grit is based in the NYC/NJ area and works with clients nationally.
The entire strategy, design and launch process can be completed remotely.
-
You'll receive training so your team can confidently manage routine updates.
Clients who want continued growth can also work with Lovely Grit through ongoing SEO, content and paid-search services after launch.

She has also worked with me on SEO, which has helped my traffic skyrocket over the past year. I feel very lucky to have her in my corner and highly recommend her to anyone looking to take their brand or business to the next level!”
