What to look for in a Squarespace freelancer
A strong Squarespace designer should have genuine visual taste and know how to bend the platform when needed, not just pick a template. Look for:
- A cohesive portfolio, with live Squarespace sites that feel considered, not cookie-cutter.
- Custom CSS ability, to go beyond what the drag-and-drop editor offers.
- Strong typography and spacing, the details that make a simple site look premium.
- Commerce experience if you plan to sell, from product pages to checkout.
- Content and SEO sense, so the site reads well and gets found.
Look closely at the spacing and typography in their past sites. On Squarespace, those small choices are what separate a professional build from a default template.
