website design
With my clientele of smaller businesses with smaller budgets, I found success in designing affordable websites using Squarespace. Squarespace is innovative, seamless, beautiful and easy for a non-coder such as myself. I also have experience creating content with Wordpress and other custom-built content management systems. Below are some websites I’ve created, Squarespace and otherwise.
HAUS SALON
SQUARESPACE WEBSITE
HAUS Salon was my first client to make the leap to Squarespace in 2011, and it’s been a huge success for them. Content management for the website has transitioned from being done mainly by Studio Prow to their own team performing updates in-house. The website has grown from one salon with eight artists to three salons with 70+ artists and from simply hair cuts and color to a full range of waxing, spa facial services, and hair extensions. We also found success by adding online hair and skin care product sales with their online store called shopHAUS, that has now grown to hundreds of products and a dozen+ product lines. In 2023 we redesigned the website, again in Squarespace, giving it a more modern look that was also mobile-friendly.

GLO AESTHETICS AND WELLNESS
SQUARESPACE WEBSITE
Glo Aesthetics and Wellness was a new aesthetics studio starting up in downtown Hudson, Wisconsin. The owner Tracie wanted a website that was beautiful, functional, and feminine but understatedly so.
TWIGGS SALON
After being a downtown Wayzata staple for 24 years, award-winning Twiggs Salonspa contacted me to update their website in 2024. They were looking for a more sleek and modern look that more closely resembled the look and feel of their upscale salon interior and they liked my previous salon work. After launching the website, the internal team at Twiggs Salonspa has been able to easily make updates to their website themselves with great success.
LOOK MINNETONKA
SQUARESPACE WEBSITE
Look Minnetonka opened in early 2019 with a complete branding package created by me, including a fully-designed Squarespace website. After launching the website, and their business, the internal team at Look Minnetonka has been able to easily make updates to their website themselves with great success.
SUBTLE REVOLUTION MASSAGE + HEALTH
SQUARESPACE WEBSITE
I created an elegant and airy website for Subtle Revolution Massage to easily communicate the three branches of this unique small business: traditional in-studio massage, on-site massage in the client’s home or office and chair massage at festivals, wellness events, and even backstage at rock concerts. This is a Squarespace website that links seamlessly to online appointment scheduling through a third party website.
BEE HEALTHY CHIROPRACTIC
SQUARESPACE WEBSITE
A new business moved into a historic downtown Hudson building in May 2022 and needed a website that reflected her brand new company: Bee Healthy Chiropractic. She had already created a cute brand to match the vibe of her new family-friendly chiropractic practice and a cheerful color palette and needed a website to help communicate the brand to both brand new clients and former clients who were following her from her previous clinic. The website needed to be simple, beautiful, and easy to navigate on mobile as clients booked appointments, researched her clinic, or sought directions to the new location. The new Squarespace website for Bee Healthy Chiropractic that I designed checked all of those boxes!
XALON SALON
SQUARESPACE WEBSITE
When they first opened their doors in 2015, Xalon Salon needed a simple website for their salon in St. Cloud, Minnesota that communicated services, hours, directions, and the team with a feeling of rustic elegance. The original Xalon Salon website was WordPress and designed by me with coding done by a partner, Hartwell Marc. In 2023 I designed an updated website for Xalon in Squarespace, still keeping within their brand but with a sleeker look that was more mobile-friendly and more easily updated by their team.

BLOWDRY! BLOWDRY BAR
SQUARESPACE WEBSITE
I developed the brand and website for Blowdry! Blowdry Bar, Minnesota's original blowdry bar. This version of the website was the second version and was done with Squarespace. We wanted a lighter, more fun and fresh take on the brand online with simple navigation and ease in making updates in-house. Blowdry Blowdry Bar was open for 5 years from 2012-2017 in Uptown Minneapolis during the height of blowdry bar popularity and is now closed.
BLOWOUT NEW YORK
SQUARESPACE WEBSITE
I created the original Squarespace website for this new blowdry bar concept in NYC: Blowout New York. The website was elegant and easy to navigate and communicated a high-end feeling for this neighborhood salon in the Bronx. The salon has since transferred ownership and is no longer using the website, but it’s still strikingly beautiful.
SKIN BOUTIQUE NEW YORK
SQUARESPACE WEBSITE
I developed the brand and Squarespace website for Skin Boutique New York, a sister business to Blowout New York with its first location in the Bronx, New York. Skin Boutique New York is under new ownership and is handling all marketing in-house, so samples are from my time working with them.
BLOWDRY! BLOWDRY BAR
WORDPRESS WEBSITE
The original website for Blowdry Blowdry Bar was designed by me with coding done by a partner, Hartwell Marc. Laura Prow was responsible for content and upkeep on this custom Wordpress website and custom content management tool for Blowdry Blowdry Bar. After a few years, we did decide to redesign the website and move it to Squarespace for the simplicity and elegant styling and ease in updating the website ourselves without needing to work with web developers and custom coding.
