Spring 2025
Small-batch Squarespace websites pairing strategy and artistry to illuminate your brand’s authentic presence.
Lily & Clover were developed in tandem with Slow Dance Studio’s brand identities, extending visual language into functional digital architecture. The Semi-Custom sites are designed for businesses with clarity of purpose and an existing brand identity — or those partnering with our collaborator for brand development. Two designs, Four sessions available.
“A minimal and editorial, type-driven brand kit, alluring and understated, the beauty of Clover is captured by a balance of modern simplicity and subtly feminine type silhouettes with a timeless appeal.”

“We’ve lovingly designed Lily as our wild child, with a bit more moodiness and an edgier aesthetic thanks to bold type choices that make a statement and with unexpected, interesting details and use of negative space throughout the design.”

3. FAQs
Considered questions to guide your decision.
-
Yes, a defined brand identity (logo, colors, and typography) is required before beginning the semi-custom website process to ensure a cohesive online presence that accurately represents your business.
Otherwise, we can partner with Slow Dance Studio’s Semi-Custom Brands to develop a cohesive brand identity.
*Note — exclusive availability is offered for those purchasing both Web + Brand, regardless of listed availability.
-
Both the design and development phases include one revision round each, however we can incorporate hourly adjustments if needed. I’ve yet to have clients that require more than one revision round :)
-
We'll implement your existing brand fonts throughout your semi-custom website. If you’d like support refining your typography, we can build that into your package offering and timeline.
-
For now, my semi-custom designs are released seasonally and available in finite quantities. Please refer to the current availability and timeline details above.
-
Additional features can be incorporated through hourly design/development support, focused design days, or package-priced page additions. (For example, Seed Social purchased a Portfolio to incorporate alongside her Shop pages!).
-
While each site shares the same thoughtfully crafted foundation, your website becomes distinctly yours through your authentic brand identity, strategic messaging, and curated visuals. The framework balances proven design patterns with your unique aesthetic—creating an online home that is effective, aligned, and impactful.
-
Additional costs such as font licenses, custom domains, squarespace hosting, are not included in the package price and are the responsibility of the client. I'm happy to guide you through these selections to ensure they align with your needs and budget.
-
Absolutely - my end goal is always to empower my client to manage, edit and grow alongside their website. You'll receive detailed video tutorials for each page, a sandbox practice area for risk-free experimenting, and 30 days of post-launch support. Plus, quick fixes (under 5 minutes) are always complimentary :)

4. Testimonials
“Working with Aletheia Made was one of the best experiences I’ve had with a professional service in a long time. My expectations were met at every stage of the process, making it a seamless and rewarding collaboration.
“Before the redesign, my website felt outdated, uninspired, and didn’t accurately reflect the professional capabilities of my company. Now, our website truly represents our agency, showcasing our capabilities while attracting clients who align with our goals and values.
The quick turnaround time and competitive pricing were very appealing, but what stood out most was how clearly you outlined the process. It gave me confidence that this wasn’t just a gimmick, but a well-structured and thoughtful approach. I would recommend this process and team to anyone looking for a glow up!”
