Squarespace Website Developer & Security Audit Specialist

Squarespace Website Developer & Security Specialist — Long-Term Opportunity

I am seeking an experienced Squarespace website developer with technical security knowledge to review, improve, and continue developing an existing website for an independent publishing business.

This is an ongoing project, not a new website build.

The website already exists, and substantial design work has been completed. I am looking for a reliable professional who can preserve the existing work, review the website’s technical configuration, complete the remaining development, and provide ongoing support as the business grows.

Phase 1: Website Security & Technical Review

My first priority is reviewing the existing Squarespace website to ensure everything is properly configured.

This includes:

* Website permissions, contributor access, and account security

* Domain settings, DNS records, and SSL configuration

* Redirects, URL mappings, and external connections

* Custom code, scripts, tracking tools, and third-party integrations

* Website visibility, search engine indexing, and privacy settings

* Identifying unfamiliar or unnecessary integrations

* Reviewing the website for potential security concerns

I would like a written summary of the findings, including any recommended corrections, before significant changes are made.

Phase 2: Website Design & Development

The next phase involves completing and refining the existing Squarespace website.

Responsibilities include:

* Completing existing website pages

* Refining layouts, typography, images, and navigation

* Maintaining consistent branding throughout the website

* Ensuring professional desktop and mobile presentation

* Incorporating approved written content and photographs

* Improving website functionality and visitor experience

* Preparing the website for its upcoming launch

Phase 3: Integrations & Website Functionality

I also need someone experienced with setting up and maintaining integrations as the website develops.

Potential requirements include:

* Email newsletter subscriptions and mailing-list integration

* Contact forms and email notifications

* E-commerce and online shop functionality

* Payment processing through supported providers

* Social media and video integration

* Domain and email-related configurations

* Search engine optimization and Google Search Console

* Analytics and other approved website tools

* Troubleshooting technical issues involving third-party services

Not every integration needs to be implemented immediately. These features will be introduced gradually, based on the business’s needs and my approval.

All integrations must be discussed and approved before installation or activation.

Phase 4: Long-Term Development & Maintenance

I am interested in establishing an ongoing professional relationship with someone who can continue supporting the website beyond its initial launch.

Future responsibilities may include:

* Developing additional pages and website features

* Expanding e-commerce functionality

* Updating content and promotional materials

* Troubleshooting technical problems

* Reviewing website settings and integrations

* Providing ongoing technical maintenance and support

Working Requirements

I am very hands-on with my creative projects and maintain final approval over all branding, written content, photographs, layouts, and design decisions.

The selected freelancer must:

* Work directly within my existing Squarespace account.

* Preserve all existing work unless changes are approved.

* Obtain written approval before introducing external platforms, integrations, scripts, or services.

* Never change website visibility or publish unapproved content.

* Communicate clearly about work completed and work remaining.

* Provide regular progress updates.

* Deliver completed work directly within my Squarespace website.

* Follow clearly defined monthly milestones.

I value transparency, professionalism, attention to detail, and respect for the client’s creative direction.

Budget & Timeline

Budget: $100 per month

Initial commitment: Approximately 4–5 months

Initial project budget: $400–$500

Long-term opportunity: The project may continue beyond the initial period, with additional website development, integrations, maintenance, and future projects as needed.

Each month will have an agreed scope of work and a clearly defined $100 milestone.

Any additional work or expenses must be discussed and approved beforehand.

Please apply only if you are comfortable with this arrangement.

Application Requirements

Please include the following information:

1. Examples of Squarespace websites you have personally developed.

2. Your experience with website security reviews, DNS, redirects, and third-party integrations.

3. Your experience setting up newsletters, contact forms, e-commerce, and other Squarespace integrations.

4. What you would realistically include in the first $100 milestone.

5. Confirmation that you can work directly within my existing Squarespace account.

6. Confirmation that you are comfortable with the $100 monthly budget and interested in a potentially long-term working relationship.

I am seeking someone dependable, technically knowledgeable, and interested in helping an established creative project grow over time.

Thank you for your consideration.
