White Label Squarespace Development

How it works

1. You send us the brief, the designs if you have them, and the deadline you have already promised your client.
2. We come back with a fixed scope, a price and a delivery date, usually within one business day.
3. We build. You get a review link you can share with your client under your own name, and we respond to consolidated feedback from you rather than going direct.
4. We hand over the finished site, a training video with no SpaceWorks branding on it if you want one, and any documentation for custom code. You invoice your client. We invoice you.

Two ways agencies use us

Build only, from your designs

You have designed the site in Figma, XD or on paper, and you need someone who can put it on Squarespace without the layout falling apart at 768px. This is the majority of our white label work. We are used to reading a design file and asking the three questions that were not covered in it rather than guessing and delivering something you have to send back.

We built the Global Karting League site this way, entirely from the client's own designs.

Design and build

You have the client and the brief but no design capacity, or your designer works in a medium that does not survive contact with Squarespace. We take it end to end and present it as yours throughout.

What stays yours

• The client relationship. We do not contact your client unless you ask us to and set the terms.
• The credit. Nothing we build carries our name, and we will not add the site to our portfolio or case studies without written permission from you.
• The margin. What you charge your client is your business and we do not ask.
• The account. The Squarespace site is created in whatever account you specify, usually the client's or yours, never ours.

Who this suits

Four kinds of business use us regularly. Full-service agencies whose stack is WordPress or Webflow and who get a Squarespace request three or four times a year, where hiring for it makes no sense. Brand and design studios with no development function at all. Freelance designers at capacity who would rather subcontract than turn work down. And marketing agencies who need a site built quickly to support a campaign they have already sold.

What these have in common is that Squarespace work arrives irregularly. Paying a retainer for a skill you need four times a year is worse than paying per project, which is why we price it that way.

What we need from you

A brief that covers what the site has to do, not just what it should look like. Designs if you have them, at whatever fidelity they exist. Content, or an honest answer about when content will arrive, because that is what moves deadlines. One named person on your side who consolidates feedback, since white label projects go wrong when three people at the agency send contradictory notes on the same page.

Confidentiality

We sign NDAs as a matter of course and have signed plenty. If you want a mutual NDA in place before you send us a brief, send it over and we will turn it around the same week. If your client's contract prohibits subcontracting, tell us early, because that is a conversation to have before the work starts rather than after.

Pricing

White label work is quoted per project. We do not publish an agency rate card, for a reason worth explaining: the same five page site can be a two week job or a five week job depending on whether the designs are complete, whether the content exists, how much custom functionality is hiding in the brief, and how many rounds of client feedback your process involves. A published rate would be wrong in both directions.

Send us the brief and you get a fixed price and a fixed date back, usually within one business day. The price does not move unless the scope does, which is the part that matters when you have already quoted your client.

Squarespace accounts and billing

The question that comes up on every first call. The Squarespace subscription sits with your client or with you, in your name, billed by Squarespace directly. We build inside it as a contributor and we can be removed the day the project ends. We do not resell Squarespace plans, we do not mark them up, and we do not hold your client's site hostage in an account they cannot access. Agencies who have been burned by a previous developer on this point tend to ask twice, so we will say it twice.

Turnaround

Most white label builds run three to four weeks, the same as our direct work. We can go faster when the designs and content are genuinely ready, and we have delivered inside a week when an agency has had a launch date move. Tell us the real deadline rather than a padded one and we will tell you honestly whether we can hit it.

Ongoing support for your clients

Plenty of agencies use us for the build and then keep us on as invisible second-line support, so their client raises a ticket with them and we fix it behind the scenes. That runs through our normal support and maintenance arrangement, hourly or on a retainer. It works well for agencies who want to offer Squarespace support without staffing it.
