3 Reasons a Website Template Will Supercharge Your Business
Are you struggling with launching a website? Have you been staring at a blank website builder and don’t know where to start? I'm showing you why a Squarespace website template could help you supercharge your business and finally launch that website you’ve been dreaming about. I’m breaking down website pricing, benefits of website templates, and more.
1. Skip the frustration and wasted time that comes with building it yourself.
If you’re reading this, you’re probably a business owner who needs a beautiful, functional website that captures your ideal client—like, yesterday. Maybe you’ve been searching for the perfect template or Pinterest inspiration to get you started.
If you’ve sat down in front of a website builder and stared at a blank screen, you know how frustrating it can be to start a site from scratch. You’re an expert in your field—not a web designer! So how can you be expected to come up with a website all on your own?
With my website templates, you’ll never have to build from the ground up. You’re able to skip that scary building phase and just straight to the fun part: editing and customizing.
How this helps your business:
You’ll be able to spend more time on the things you love in your business and moving the needle forward!
2. You’ll get professional strategy infused in your website.
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to connect with some female business owners over on Instagram and do a LIVE website audit of each of their sites. It was a blast—but you know what every single site had in common? Right when you landed on their home pages, you couldn’t tell what they did. And even worse, there was no immediate call to action (ex: buy now, inquire, book today, etc.) to tell people what to do.
One of the women had a beautiful site (a Wordpress template she purchased), but again it had this same messaging problem. The only thing “above the fold” on her home page was a tall, full-width (and totally gorgeous 😘) picture of her. It was aesthetic… But I had no idea what it was she offered and I didn’t know what to do. What happens when your ideal client lands on your site and experiences this? They leave, and you lose.
And do you know what she told us? That most every template she found when shopping was laid out exactly like this. That’s a BIG problem!
So many templates out there are NOT built with the most basic of best website practices, and that frustrates me. A pretty website is nice to look at, but it’s not gonna sell.
I built each of my website templates with the StoryBrand Framework in mind, so you’ll not only have a beautiful site, but one that’s designed with strategy to help you sell.
If you’re worried about things like…
Where to display your mission statement?
Having a visible call to action on the page?
Knowing where to put your lead magnet?
What should go in the navigation?
Don’t worry, I got you. All these site necessities and much more are already integrated into the templates, to set you and your brand up for success right off the bat.
How this helps your business:
You’ll get professional website strategy implemented on your site to create a smooth process for browsers and potential clients.
3. You’ll save money while launching your first website.
Can your brand new business immediately drop thousands of dollars on custom web design right off the bat? I know I couldn’t when I first started. But you do need a website that clearly tells your ideal how you solve their problems, where they can go to get that help, and build their trust.
Most custom websites start at around $2000-3000, and that’s on the low end. It also doesn’t include any domain or website fees.
Website templates are a great way to build that online presence at a reasonable cost. Let’s break it down:
$297 for a fully-built and professionally designed website template
All templates are built for Squarespace’s second plan, the Business Plan, which is $23/mo. (You can read more about the different plans here.)
Because you’re purchasing from Blooming Design Co., a certified Squarespace Circle member, this means you’ll receive a 20% discount on that Squarespace plan your first year! We love a good discount.
Don’t have a domain yet? When you upgrade any Squarespace domain, you also receive a domain FREE for your first year!
For any extra customization of your template outside of Squarespace, we use Canva templates. No Photoshop or expensive design programs needed here! Some of my website templates recommend having a Canva Pro subscription, but I’ll usually show you workarounds in case you don’t have one.
Including everything I mentioned above, that’s a little over $500—a fraction of the cost of a custom site.
How this helps your business:
Use that saved money on other areas of your business! Or, if your goal is to someday have a totally custom site, you can start saving for that.
