Ellie, Freelance Squarespace Web Designer, UK

 

Ellie Squarespace Web Designer in the UK

Your website should be more than pretty; it should perform. I help businesses and entrepreneurs turn browsers into buyers with strategic design, SEO, and UX that works.

I’ve been working in the web and digital marketing industry for over 19 years, combining creativity with technical know‑how to build websites that don’t just look good—they deliver results. As the founder of EMWONLINE Design and the creator of Ellie Makes Websites, I specialise in Squarespace, Shopify, and Webflow builds, alongside SEO strategy, branding, and digital marketing.

What I Do

  • Website Design & Development – Squarespace Circle Gold Partner, Shopify & Webflow projects, custom builds

  • SEO & UX Strategy – performance audits, content optimisation, and user‑focused design

  • Branding & Digital Marketing – graphic design, messaging, and ongoing strategy

  • E-commerce & Membership Sites – online shops, course platforms, and subscription models

I know first-hand how much time, energy, and emotion goes into running a business. That’s why I pride myself on offering a friendly, supportive service, helping you create a website that works as hard as you do.

A Creative at Heart

When I’m not designing websites, you’ll find me painting bold acrylic abstracts, experimenting with surface pattern design, or creating digital artwork for my Etsy and online art shops. Creativity fuels everything I do, whether it’s colour theory in design or crafting a digital strategy that makes your brand shine.

Why Work With Me

Websites are never “done”—they should evolve as your business grows. I’ll help you keep your site fresh, competitive, and aligned with your goals, while making sure it’s visible to the right audience through smart SEO and marketing.

Where I’m based

I don’t know about you, but I like to be nosey and know where people work, so here is a sneak peek into the view of the garden from my home office in the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire.

When not in the office, I can be found doing something creative, like painting an abstract picture, drawing vector patterns on the iPad, singing (I do this a lot!), taking long adventure walks with the kids or getting lost in a book. I love reading, psychology and researching, so you’ll often find me with a nose in a book, watching a video training course or reading an online article.

Have a lovely day!

Many thanks,

  • "I can't recommend Ellie enough! I was umming and ahhing for ages, trying to create my landing page myself. I started and got so far, but without coding skills I couldn't make it into what I envisioned. That's when I spoke to Ellie. She's relatable, easy to communicate with, and incredibly supportive. Working with her was genuinely a pleasurable experience. I'm absolutely chuffed with my website and all the support she's given me - she even helped me with some Squarespace instructions afterward. How good is that!"

  • Can't recommend EMWONLINE enough. They provide creative ideas, work quickly, take feedback efficiently and are very cost-effective. Often creating a new website is a painful process, but they made it easy.

  • Ellie was absolutely fantastic at handling my whole web design project from start to finish - from providing original creative concept ideas, through to the launch and SEO work. She communicated really well with me at every stage and was a pleasure to work with. I’m so pleased with the end result. Since the launch of my website, she has supported me with lots of changes and developments and it’s grown to be my biggest marketing tool, thanks to her expert SEO optimisation expertise.

  • Ellie did a fantastic job at making the ambitious ideas we had for our website come to life and become fully interactive. She was very quick and diligent at responding to our queries and showed us how to make future changes to the website once handed back. We enjoyed our collaboration with Ellie and fully recommend her to future clients.
