Empowering artistic visions that forge connections

Your website is more than a virtual gallery—it’s a platform for your vision, a voice for your mission, and a space where your audience gathers to connect and be inspired. Whether you’re an artist, a creative individual or organization, or a researcher, a strong online presence amplifies your impact, bridging your work with the community that values it, gets inspired by it, and engages with it.

As a dedicated Squarespace expert, I specialize in website design for artists, creatives, and cultural organizations—crafting visually compelling, functional, and easy-to-manage websites. With a multidisciplinary background and fluency in English, French, and Spanish, I translate your unique vision into a website that resonates with your audience, builds trust, and fosters meaningful connections.

Transforming challenges into creative opportunities

Every artist, collective, and cultural organization has a unique story to share, but the journey to creating a meaningful online presence can feel overwhelming. What challenges are you facing in sharing yours?

  • Are you finding it difficult to expand your reach and control your audience with social media alone?

  • Does your online presence feel inconsistent or outdated?

  • Are you struggling to present your research, books, publications, and media appearances in an engaging and accessible way?

  • Are you struggling to showcase your events, services, or projects as your creative needs evolve?

  • Do poor loading speeds, confusing navigation, or mobile design issues frustrate your visitors?

  • Finding yourself stuck in a cycle of time-consuming DIY fixes that never quite meet your expectations?

  • Is the time and effort required to build or manage a website holding you back?

Whatever obstacles you’re encountering, we can transform them into creative opportunities. Together, we’ll craft a tailored website that amplifies your vision, fosters engagement, and supports your journey to growth.

Custom Squarespace websites for creatives
— The process

My process is thorough, detail-oriented, collaborative and supportive, ensuring it accurately reflects all the nuances of your dedication and vision.

  • Our work together begins with an initial inquiry form. Once submitted, we’ll connect for a free 30-minute consultation to discuss your project, goals, and needs. This is also a perfect opportunity for us to get to know each other and ensure we’re a good fit.

  • Once our proposal is approved, you’ll receive your first invoice (50%), along with the contract to be digitally signed to confirm your project start date. Additionally, I’ll prepare your project portal which contains everything you need to start gathering the content for your site.

  • You’ll need to complete a detailed brand questionnaire and upload all your website content, including brand, text and images. Once this step is complete, we’ll schedule a preparation call to review everything together.

    During our call, we’ll discuss the strategic and artistic direction for your website, as well as feedback on how to optimize your content. You’ll then have one week to make any amendments.

  • With detailed reference to our discussion and strategy notes, I’ll begin designing and developing your website. Once all revision(s) are approved, and your website has been tested, I’ll set up your domain and we’ll get your new website ready to launch.

Built with Creativity
— Some Artists & Creatives I’ve had the privilege of supporting

En Mots

  • Laptop on a stone cube showcasing the website of an Australian novelist, with a beige curtain in the background.

    "She blends both her artistic and aesthetic talents (which are considerable) along with her intuitive ability to truly listen to a client's vision, and bring it to life in a carefully structured process of research and dialogue."

    “Audrey is outstanding to work with, and I cannot recommend her more highly! In addition to her high-level tech skills, she is extremely organised, an excellent communicator, gracious, and generous. But in my opinion, one of the most unique things about Audrey as a web designer is the way that she blends both her artistic and aesthetic talents (which are considerable) along with her intuitive ability to truly listen to a client's vision, and bring it to life in a carefully structured process of research and dialogue. Audrey exceeded all my expectations, and I'm already looking forward to working with her again! “

    Ruby Todd - Author

  • Cellphone displaying the website of a Canadian photographer.

    "Her deep understanding of the arts world and refined aesthetic made the entire process seamless."

    “Working with Audrey was a game-changer for my creative career. As a photographer and filmmaker, I needed a site that truly reflected my artistic identity, and Audrey delivered beyond expectations.

    Her deep understanding of the arts world and creative aesthetic made the entire process seamless. She translated my vision into a stunning design that’s both visually striking and easy to navigate. Audrey’s attention to detail and collaborative approach ensured my portfolio stands out.”

    Jesse McKinnon - Photographer & Filmmaker

  • Two mockups on a beige textured background showcasing the website of a Canadian poet.

    "I can’t imagine my writing, and writing to come, in any better hands.”

    “Audrey launched my literary work into the digital/website world with great design skill, attention, and creative accuracy. I can’t imagine my writing, and writing to come, in any better hands. ”

    Barry McKinnon - Canadian Poet

Website design for artists & cultural companies

  • Yes, and I think more than ever. Social media is fantastic for visibility, but it doesn’t replace the professionalism or control a website provides. A website serves as your permanent home online, free from algorithm changes or distractions. Whether you’re an artist looking to showcase your work or a gallery needing a sleek platform to attract clients, a website is key to building long-term connections.

  • After testing several platforms as a web designer, I’ve found that Squarespace is the best choice for artists and creative businesses.

    • Integrated Features: Squarespace allows you to manage your portfolio, showcase services, or run an online store—all in one place.

    • User-Friendly Interface: Once your site is launched, you’ll have the confidence to update it easily with the help of the video tutorials I provide.

    For larger stores or more complex eCommerce needs, I may recommend Shopify as an alternative. Book your consultation and I’ll guide you to the platform that best aligns with your goals.

  • Absolutely. Think of your website as your personal gallery, always open for visitors worldwide. It’s a space where you control how your art is presented, connect with potential clients and galleries, and even sell your work directly. With my custom Squarespace web design for artists, your website will highlight your unique talents and help you reach new opportunities effortlessly.

  • Creating a website doesn’t have to be overwhelming—I’m here to make the process seamless. Here’s how I’ll help:

    • I’ll design a custom Squarespace website tailored to your specific needs, whether that’s a portfolio, agency site, or gallery showcase.

    • Together, we’ll structure your site with essential pages like a portfolio, about, services, shop, and contact.

    • I’ll handle the technical setup—SEO optimization, mobile responsiveness, and performance—so your site is ready to impress visitors on any device.

    You focus on your craft or mission, and I’ll create the platform to elevate it.

  • You can, but having a website gives you more control, professionalism, and profitability. Social platforms and marketplaces come with limitations, while a custom website allows you to:

    • Sell directly to clients or collectors.

    • Retain more of your earnings.

    • Showcase your work or services alongside your store in a way that reflects your brand.

    I’ll design a site where selling or promoting your services is seamless and professional.

  • To design a website for an artist, timelines depend on your needs:

    • Simple Portfolio or Agency Websites: 1 day to 2 weeks for a polished, professional site.

    • Online Store: 3–4 weeks, including advanced features like SEO optimization and eCommerce setup.|

    • If you already have a website and need assistance, I also offer Design Day services for quick and efficient updates.
