The Spanglish Collective

OVERVIEW

I’m proposing a full Squarespace website build for $2,000, with an optional branding package for $1,000 if you need support developing the visual foundation of the collective. Together, these will give you a polished, professional home for your work—easy to update, clean to navigate, and strong enough to grow with you.

PROJECT SCOPE

1. Branding Package — $1,000 (3 Weeks)

If needed, I’ll develop a complete brand toolkit that reflects the bilingual, bicultural voice behind The Spanglish Collective. This includes:

  • Logo concepts (primary & secondary)

  • Brand marks and supporting visual assets

  • Color palette + typography system

  • Style direction (tone, visual feel, positioning)

  • A simple brand guide for future use

This ensures your site and content feel cohesive, intentional, and immediately recognizable.

2. Website Build — $2,000 (2 Weeks)

A fully custom Squarespace site with:

Structure

  • Up to 5 core pages
    (Home, About, Services, Collective/Team, Contact)

  • Optional project pages (case studies, portfolio entries, or films) as needed
    (number can scale depending on your content)

Creative & Technical Work

  • Custom layout design in Squarespace

  • Custom code blocks for interactions, layout enhancements, and stylistic polish

  • Copywriting or refinement for all core pages

  • Integration of your video work, reels, and project sections

  • Asset creation (graphic elements, icons, photo crops, thumbnails)

  • Mobile optimization

  • Basic SEO setup

  • Launch support

Add-On: Integrated Invoice & Payment System — $200

If you'd like to use the website to streamline your client payments, I can set up:

  • Integrated payment processing (Squarespace Commerce / Stripe)

  • A branded invoicing page or private client portal

  • Invoice templates matching your branding

  • Automated payment confirmations

  • Setup for tracking payments inside Squarespace

This helps centralize your workflow and gives clients a polished, professional way to pay you.

Add-On: Custom Pitch Pages — $150 Each

If you'd like to present proposals the same way I’m presenting this one—using a clean, branded page hosted on your website—I can design and build custom pitch pages for your clients.

Each pitch page includes:

  • A tailored layout that matches your branding

  • Clear sections for scope, pricing, timeline, and deliverables

  • Embedded video or portfolio links

  • Custom graphics or assets as needed

  • A private, shareable link you can send directly to clients

This gives you a polished, professional way to present proposals that stand out from standard PDFs or email quotes.

Timeline

Total timeline: 5 weeks

  • Weeks 1–3: Branding (if needed)

  • Weeks 4–5: Website design, build, and launch

If branding isn’t needed, we jump straight into the 2-week site build.

Deliverables

  • Fully launched Squarespace website

  • Brand assets (if selected) delivered in all necessary formats

  • A quick handoff guide so you can update the site easily

  • 1 round of revisions for both branding and website to ensure everything feels right

  • Continued support for small post-launch tweaks (first 2 weeks)

Why Squarespace?

Squarespace is the ideal platform for The Spanglish Collective because it balances creative flexibility with rock-solid functionality. It allows us to design a custom, visually compelling website without the maintenance headaches that come with more complex platforms.

Key benefits:

  • Built-in Video Support: Seamlessly showcase your work, reels, and project pages.

  • Design Flexibility: Custom code and design blocks allow for a unique, elevated look that stands out from standard templates.

  • Effortless Editing: Once the site is launched, you can update photos, copy, and project pages without needing a developer.

  • Reliable Hosting & Security: Everything is handled by Squarespace, ensuring your site stays fast and protected.

  • Integrated Invoicing & Payments: With Squarespace Commerce and Stripe, clients can view and pay invoices directly on your site—making your business operations smoother and more professional.

This platform gives you all the creative freedom you need while keeping your backend simple, organized, and easy to manage.

Squarespace Ongoing Costs

Squarespace has a few subscription options, but most production companies use the Core Plan, which offers custom code, video support, and payment integrations.

Typical costs:

  • Monthly: $23–$36 per month

  • Yearly: $276–$432 per year (depending on plan and billing cycle)

  • Domain renewal: usually $20–$70 per year

  • (Optional) Email hosting: additional cost if you want branded email accounts

For The Spanglish Collective, the Core Plan billed annually (~$276/year) is likely the best fit. It keeps ongoing costs low while giving you all the features needed to host video content, manage projects, and accept payments or invoices directly on your site.

We’d love to help bring The Spanglish Collective to life online in a way that feels bold, bilingual, and unmistakably you. If everything looks good, we can draft a simple agreement and get started as soon as you’re ready.

Let us know your thoughts or if you’d like to adjust anything.

Thank you :)
