Squarespace Design & Development Agency
A designer’s eye. A developer’s brain. All on Squarespace.
abZ Global is a Squarespace design and development agency that specializes in high-end, custom-coded websites for brands that have outgrown basic templates.
Led by Marian Sorca, who has been building custom Squarespace sites since 2015, we’ve worked on 300+ Squarespace projects, earned a 4.9/5 average client rating, and pushed the platform to its limits with complex layouts, animation, and custom logic — while keeping editing simple for non-technical teams.
If you’re searching for a Squarespace designer but also need someone who can write serious custom code, you’re in the right place.
When Squarespace Is the Right Choice
We recommend Squarespace when you want beautiful design and easy editing without sacrificing quality.
Squarespace is a great fit if:
- You want a professional, design-driven website
Your brand needs clean, modern design, strong typography, and thoughtful layout — not a generic theme. - You (or your team) want to edit the site yourselves
Squarespace’s editor lets you update pages, sections, images, and copy without touching code. - You’re a visual or service-based business
Creatives, small agencies, studios, coaches, consultants, and local businesses all work very well on Squarespace. - You need e-commerce, but not enterprise-level complexity
Perfect for curated shops, productized services, digital products, and premium offerings where presentation matters.
If during discovery we see that your needs are better served by Shopify, Webflow, or WordPress, we’ll tell you honestly and help you choose the right platform. We’re not “Squarespace at all costs” — we’re solution-first.
What We Do With Squarespace
1. Custom Squarespace Web Design
We start with design, not just tweaking a template.
- Custom layouts that don’t look like any default Squarespace theme
- Strong visual hierarchy, typography, and spacing
- Clear storytelling for your services or products
- Mobile-first design that feels natural on phones, not just “shrunk down” desktop
We can design from scratch or take an existing brand/visual system and translate it into a Squarespace-ready design that fits your business and your content.
2. Figma → Pixel-Perfect Squarespace Builds
If you already have a Figma design, we can turn it into a live Squarespace site that actually matches what your designer created.
Most “Squarespace designers” rely on the editor and give up when things get tricky. We don’t.
Because we understand HTML, CSS, and JavaScript deeply, we can:
- Recreate complex layouts and grids from Figma
- Match typography, spacing, and components as closely as the web allows
- Add scroll effects, reveals, and subtle animations where they enhance UX
- Ensure responsive states feel designed, not auto-generated
If other freelancers told you “this design is too complex for Squarespace,” that’s usually when we do our best work.
3. Custom Code & Advanced Components
This is where “Squarespace designer” turns into Squarespace developer.
We use custom CSS and JavaScript to extend what Squarespace can do, without breaking the editor for your team.
We can build:
- Advanced navigations and mega menus
- Custom blog layouts and numbered pagination
- Dynamic grids, galleries, and portfolio layouts
- Section-specific interactions and scroll effects
- Smart reusable blocks and “mini components” your team can drop into new pages
We prefer to extend native Squarespace blocks instead of hacking around them, so your marketing team can keep using the normal editor while the advanced behavior runs behind the scenes.
4. Squarespace E-Commerce & Productized Services
For the right kind of store, Squarespace commerce is more than enough — especially with custom design and code layered on top.
We help with:
- Custom product page layouts that tell the story of your offer
- Sales pages for productized services, coaching, or digital products
- Clean, guided buying flows with sections for benefits, FAQs, and testimonials
- Visual merchandising that matches your brand (collections, categories, featured products)
If you grow to the point where Shopify makes more sense, we’ll help you plan that transition. Until then, a well-designed, custom-coded Squarespace store can take you very far.
5. Rescues, Refactors & Upgrades
Already on Squarespace but unhappy with your current site?
We can step in to:
- Redesign key pages or the entire site while staying on Squarespace
- Clean up random snippets and fragile custom code
- Improve performance, layout consistency, and mobile experience
- Add new sections, templates, and components over time
Our minimum engagement is typically $2,000, which lets us focus on work that actually makes a difference, not tiny one-off tweaks.
Our Squarespace Design & Development Process
1. Discovery & Strategy
We start by understanding:
- What your business does and who it serves
- What role your website should play (lead-gen, portfolio, sales, authority)
- What you like/don’t like about your current site (if you have one)
- Who will be editing the site day-to-day
From there, we confirm that Squarespace is the right platform and outline a roadmap that fits your budget and timeline.
2. Structure, UX & Design
Next, we define the core structure and experience:
- Site map and page hierarchy
- Section-by-section outline of your key pages
- Wireframes or high-fidelity designs (or review of your existing Figma files)
- Visual language: typography, color, spacing, components
The goal: a design that’s not just pretty, but clear, focused, and easy to navigate.
3. Build & Custom Code
We then build the site in Squarespace:
- Implement pages using Squarespace 7.1 (or 7.0 where relevant)
- Apply custom CSS for layout, design details, and responsive behavior
- Add JavaScript where needed for interactions, motion, and advanced logic
- Create reusable sections and patterns so you’re not starting from scratch each time
We pay special attention to the balance between flexibility (for you to edit) and structure (so the design doesn’t fall apart).
4. Testing, Launch & Training
Before launch, we:
- Test on multiple devices and screen sizes
- Verify navigation, forms, and key flows
- Check performance and basic SEO hygiene (titles, meta, headings, etc.)
Then we walk you or your team through:
- How to edit sections without breaking the design
- How to create new pages using existing patterns
- What parts are custom-coded and how they work conceptually
5. Ongoing Support & Iteration
If you want a long-term partner, we can stay on to:
- Add new pages and sections as your business grows
- Improve conversion on key pages
- Refine visuals and UX over time
- Plan for any future migration if your needs outgrow Squarespace
Why Work With abZ Global?
1. Designer + Developer in one
You don’t have to coordinate between a designer who “doesn’t code” and a developer who “just implements”. We handle both — design decisions and high-level custom code — so you get a cohesive final result.
2. Squarespace and custom code since 2015
Marian has been building and extending Squarespace since 2015, often working on projects that other freelancers considered “too complex for Squarespace”.
3. 300+ Squarespace projects, 4.9/5 rating
Hundreds of projects and a 4.9/5 average client rating show that we deliver, communicate, and stick around.
4. Product-level thinking
Beyond websites, Marian built the SaaS app SelfManager.ai from scratch. That experience informs how we think about UX, performance, and maintainability — even on “simple” marketing sites.
