Squarespace Websites That
Look Good and Get You Booked.

I design strategic, client-attracting websites for small, service-based businesses with a local focus—built in as little as one focused week, using Squarespace. No fluff, no drawn-out timelines—just a site that helps you grow your business and makes you look good doing it.

More Than a Web Designer—A Strategic Partner for Your Small Business

Need a website that actually books clients—not just sits there looking pretty? Let’s build one that does its job.

I’m Laura Nurse—a Squarespace web designer, brand strategist, and Gold Circle Member based in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. Since 2013, I’ve been building websites that blend clarity, strategy, and style. I went pro in 2023, and have already helped 20+ businesses launch sites that look great, feel like them, and bring in leads.

These days, I run my business from the kitchen table while my kids are at school—so I know a thing or two about staying focused, working smart, and making every hour count.

Whether you're starting fresh or giving your site a glow-up, I’m here to make the process fast, focused, and frustration-free. Clean design, smart strategy, zero overwhelm.
