CASE STUDY: Studio Collective For Performing Arts

Kristi from Studio Collective for Performing Arts in California, booked a Squarespace Power Hour with me as she was looking for help with refining her website aesthetics plus some additional updates.

The standard Squarespace templates make it super easy to get a website up and running fast, but to make a website truly fit your business aesthetically, takes a little bit of work. Breaking away from the template really makes a difference in how professional and trustworthy your business and website appear to potential clients!

The Power Hour plan

I took the Studio Collective brand colour palette and incorporated more of that throughout the website on buttons, the announcement bar, text and so on, to get away from the standard black of the Squarespace template. I also refined the typography to make it easier to read, more visually appealing, and with a better hierarchical structure - all important factors for SEO!

The results

Here are some screenshots of pages from the Studio Collective website before and after some of the changes were made.
