One-week website design for small business
At 35WebDesigns, we build beautiful, professionally crafted Squarespace websites in just one week — especially for Small Businesses, Professional Services and, and purpose-driven non-profits.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to DIY your site, you’re not alone. We’ve seen it time and again: the endless fiddling, the design doubts, the second-guessing. That’s why we’ve created something better — a process that’s simple, calm, and completely taken care of.
We achieve this by using some of the very best templates found on the web. In fact we have selected 4 of the nearly 100 offered by Squarekicker, the leader in Squarespace design templates.
Our one-week websites are designed to reflect the heart of your work — clear, authentic, and quietly powerful. No noise, no fluff — just an online home that helps you connect with the people you’re here to serve.
Because when your website feels like you, people notice. And when it’s built with intention, it doesn’t just look good — it works.
Let’s make something meaningful. Together. In just one week.
design… matters
Great design matters. And it should be accessible — fast.
That’s why Squarespace has become the go-to platform for small businesses, creatives, and non-profits. It lets you combine high-end design with real-world flexibility — so you can build a stunning, functional website in just a week, without the stress.
But here’s the catch: with hundreds of template providers out there, the options can be overwhelming. It’s easy to lose hours — even days — trying to pick the perfect one.
So we did the hard work for you.
After exploring countless template creators, we found one company that truly stands out: SquareKicker. Their templates don’t just look good — they work brilliantly. Clean code, elegant structure, and built to perform.
They offer around 100 templates, but we’ve narrowed that down to just 4 Premium Designs. Why? Because these are the ones that hit the sweet spot for our clients in professional services, small business, and non-profits. They’re flexible, minimal, and beautifully intuitive — exactly what modern businesses need.
And we don’t just recommend them — we use them. Our own site is built on SquareKicker’s CityScape template, and we couldn’t be happier with the result.
Simple. Clear. Powerful. That’s what great design should feel like.

KIND WORDS FROM OUR CLIENTs
"The website has turned out really well: moreover, above what I expected. I like how it is conservative in nature/appearance, yet modern in usability and functionality. "
Rodney S, Minister
Meet your web designer, greg russell
I’m Greg, a Squarespace web designer and SEO strategist based on beautiful Lake Macquarie, NSW—but I work with good people all across Australia.
I built my first Squarespace site five years ago for a renewable energy company. From there, I became obsessed, not just with design, but with simplifying the entire web-building process. Today, I help businesses launch a bold, effective online presence in just one week. That’s not a typo. One week. And suddenly, the barriers to entry—time, cost, and confusion—vanish.
I have spent a decade building websites. And another decade before that in IT consulting, solving real business problems with real technology. I’ve seen the headaches, the wasted time, the bloated agency costs. So I built something different—a process that’s streamlined, thoughtful, and focused on what matters.
People say I have a knack for listening deeply—understanding the heart of your business, not just the surface. And then I go away and quietly overdeliver.
This isn’t just about websites. It’s about clarity. It’s about giving you control. You’ll know what we’re building, why it matters, and how it’s going to move the needle.
Because at the end of the day, you don’t need another web guy.
You need a partner who listens, educates, and delivers. That’s what I’m here to do.
KIND WORDS FROM OUR CLIENTs
“35WebDesigns helped me clarify my businesses and products, and designed branding and websites that looked great and just worked!
Mark B, Renewable Energy Entrepreneur
how we think about design
1. Clarity over clutter
We believe design should make things easier, not more complicated. When your website is clear, focused, and easy to navigate, it builds trust fast. We remove the distractions, the fluff, and the jargon—so your message lands instantly. Every page is built with intention, guiding visitors toward action without making them work for it. Because clarity isn’t just a design choice—it’s a business advantage.
2. Built for humans
We design for real people—not trends, not algorithms. That means thinking deeply about how your audience feels, what they need, and how they move through your site. From first click to final call-to-action, every step should feel natural and intuitive. Whether they’re tech-savvy or not, visitors should feel welcome, understood, and gently guided. When design serves people first, everything else follows.
3. Less, but better
We don’t believe in adding just for the sake of it. Instead, we focus on what really matters—what earns its place on the page. Fewer elements, done right, can tell a stronger story and drive more results than a site packed with features no one needs. It’s about being intentional. Thoughtful. Deliberate. Because great design isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what matters exceptionally well.
what you need
what you need
branding
Every business is different. And your website should look and feel like you.
That’s why we give you the option to customise the colours and fonts on your chosen design—so it aligns perfectly with your brand personality. But here’s the thing: it only works if you’ve got branding you genuinely love.
So if you’ve already worked with a branding expert and have a brand guide—with your colour palette and font pairings for headings, subheadings, paragraphs and buttons, and a logo—that’s gold. Just send it over and we’ll build from there.
But if you don’t have a branding guide yet—or you're not really feeling what you’ve got—that’s totally fine. We’ve made it simple. Just add a branding kit to your project, and we’ll help you create something fresh, consistent, and completely you.
Because great design starts with great clarity. And we’re here to help you get both.
High-quality imagery
Images matter. They don’t just fill space—they tell your story before a single word is read.
That’s why your website needs a strong collection of high-quality, on-brand visuals—whether that’s custom photography shot by a professional, or carefully chosen stock images that align with your brand. The key is cohesion. Your photos, your colours, your design—they need to work together.
When your branding palette and imagery complement each other, something powerful happens: your site doesn’t just look good—it feels right. It builds trust. It communicates who you are without saying a word.
And if you’re not sure where to begin with images, we’ve got you. Just add stock image curation to your project, and we’ll help handpick visuals that elevate your brand and bring your website to life.
Because we’re not just putting pictures on a page.
We’re building a brand experience.
Great design needs great words.
We’ll set you up with a content planner that walks you through each page of your site—what to say, where to say it, and how to keep it sharp. It’s designed to make writing feel less like a blank page and more like a clear roadmap.
Each section has word limits and guidelines to keep your content clean, focused, and beautifully aligned with the design. Because when words ramble, design suffers. And when words are crisp and intentional? That’s when the magic happens.
Not a writer? No problem. Just let us know at the start, and we’ll connect you with one of our trusted copywriters—people who get branding, and know how to turn your message into something that actually connects.
Because words matter.
And the right ones can take your site from “pretty” to powerful.

Then you’ll sit down with Greg for a one hour strategy session. It’s a creative deep dive—an open space to explore your ideas, get clarity and tap into Greg’s years of experience in design and business. He’ll help you define the vision and map out exactly what content and structure your site needs to shine.
