Founder-led development and Squarespace design—scope tailored to your goals, your audience, and how you plan to grow.

Capabilities

What SeaForth actually does.

Custom front ends and Squarespace builds share the same standard: clear structure, refined UI, accessible markup, and launches that hold up after go-live.

Development

Custom front ends—usually Next.js—with GitHub, Vercel deploys, responsive UI, accessibility, performance, and launch discipline.

Design

Squarespace builds—information architecture, visual design, template work, styling, and content structure so the site is easy to maintain (typically a lower entry price than custom development).

Starting prices, hosting and account rules, and deliverables for each tier. Figures assume a typical first phase. After we talk, the estimate reflects your pages, integrations, and timeline—nothing moves to contract until you have it in writing.

Custom stack

Development

Starting at

$3,500

Custom-coded sites—Next.js, GitHub, Vercel—and engineering you can grow with.

You want a hand-built front end (usually Next.js) with responsive UI, performance, accessibility, and a real code workflow—not a hosted page builder.

Your account

Hosting the site requires a $30 fee paid to SeaForth Strategies (in addition to project pricing).

Deliverables

  • Responsive implementation and components
  • Git-based workflow and collaboration
  • Staging and production deploys (e.g. Vercel)
  • Accessibility, semantic markup, and launch handoff

Squarespace

Design

Starting at

$2,800

Designed and built on Squarespace—polished, fast to launch, and a lower starting price than custom development.

You want a professional site on Squarespace: clear IA, visual design, template and styling work, and content setup—without a code repo.

Your account

You create your Squarespace account and pay Squarespace directly for your subscription—we design and build on your plan.

Deliverables

  • Site map and page structure
  • Template selection and visual design
  • Squarespace styling (including custom CSS when needed)
  • Launch support and refinement

Proof of craft

Work that feels editorial.

Strong typography. Confident spacing. Motion that supports the story. Here are a few snapshots from recent builds.

FAQ

Short answers.

Is the design custom?
Yes. Layout and UI are bespoke; packages define where we start, not a template skin.
Do you write copy?
I can guide structure and tighten messaging. Full copywriting is available when scoped.
What do you build in?
Development is usually Next.js with GitHub and deploys on Vercel. Design projects are built on Squarespace—structured, styled, and launched there, which keeps cost lower than a full custom stack.
Who pays for hosting and Squarespace?
For design on Squarespace, you create your own account and pay Squarespace for your plan. For custom development, hosting the site includes a $30 fee paid to SeaForth Strategies (separate from the project quote).

The SeaForth standard

Craft-first. Launch-ready.

Typography, spacing, performance, and motion stay intentional—without the interchangeable template look—no matter which stack we ship on.
