Why I built this
As a web designer, I keep seeing the same three mistakes coaches and consultants make:
people pick a platform that doesn't fit
get blindsided by hidden costs; or
chase AI hype without knowing what they're signing up for.
I built this tool so that people have a concrete way to compare website platforms, and not just rely on opinions.
Select your needs, specify your priorities, and see your personalised results.
Who it’s for
You've read three "best website platforms" articles and they all say something different.
You don't know what a website will actually cost once you add the scheduling tool, the email platform, and the domain.
You want a recommendation based on your situation, not whoever paid for the sponsored post.
Meet Fiona — Designer, Strategist, and your Chief Site Crafter
Fifteen years in procurement, policy and process taught me how trust gets built, how decisions actually get made, and what it takes for good work to land with the right people. Three years as a UX designer taught me how people really move through a website, not how we assume they do.
The Site Crafter brings both together: Squarespace websites shaped by how your visitors think and decide, so your site does real work for you.
Now, I get to partner with amazing coaches and consultants who are growing their impact. I love helping them feel proud of their online presence and confident sharing their work with the world.
