FAQs

Who is Studio Founded?

We are a business resource library. Our tools bring structure to your process: design-led templates, strategic frameworks, and artful resources.

What makes Studio Founded different?

An antidote to hustle, we’re not here for quick wins or rinse-and-repeat formulas. Studio Founded supports brand-building as a craft—one rooted in values, designed with intention, and built to last.

What are your studio hours?

Monday–Friday, 9am–4pm (GMT). We aim to respond within 24 hours. During launch periods or high-volume times, replies may take up to 72 hours.

What are your sustainability practices?

We partner with More Trees to plant a tree for every order, in an ongoing gesture of care toward Mother Nature, supporting her as she sustains us.

Where are your collections available?

We currently serve customers in the UK, US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

Do you offer bespoke design?

We offer design and strategy for businesses seeking a more considered and custom approach.

Our services include brand strategy, identity design, print and packaging, and website design and development.

Copywriting, photography, and marketing services are not offered in-house, but we’re happy to connect you with trusted collaborators.

Custom projects range from $4,500–$20,000.

What is a Squarespace Template?

A Squarespace template is a pre-designed website—thoughtfully structured to help you build a beautiful, strategic site. Each includes curated layouts, styled sections, and a brand-ready framework, ready to make your own.

How does installation work?

Once purchased, your template will be installed to your Squarespace account within 48 hours. You’ll receive an email invitation—accept it, and your site will be ready to customize. We provide 30 days of email support before transferring ownership.

Can I use this with my existing site?

Yes. Our Install Package adds the new template to your current Squarespace site—so you can refresh your design without starting from scratch.

Can you customize the template for me?

Website in a Week takes you from template to a fully branded, launch-ready site in five days. Just two spots are available each month—we recommend booking 4+ weeks in advance.

What kind of support is included?

Each template includes 30 days of post-purchase support.

You’ll also receive access to The Website Guidebook, an interactive Notion portal filled with strategy workbooks, checklists, SEO resources, and Squarespace tutorials tailored to your template

If you need more support, you’re welcome to book:

• Designer Hour: For small customizations like font uploads, CSS alterations, or section updates.

• Designer Day: A one-day intensive for more in-depth work like page design, SEO, or visual refinement.

Do I need a paid Squarespace plan?

Yes. A Business or Commerce plan is required. We offer 25% off your first year through Platinum Circle, with up to 29% savings on an annual subscription.

What is Website in a Week?

Website in a Week is a focused five-day build that turns your half-there website into a polished, conversion-ready home for your business. We start with a Studio Founded template as the framework, then tailor every page to your offers, copy, and visuals. By Friday, you’re live with a site you’re proud to share.

What’s included?

Strategy that clarifies your goals and structure; tailored template design; content placed and styled for clarity; essential SEO (titles, metas, slugs, headings, image alts, internal links); custom CSS details; mobile and speed tuning; hands-on launch support; and 30 days of post-launch email support.

Do I need to buy the template separately?

No. Your Studio Founded template license is included and installed for you, so we can customize it immediately and keep the whole week focused on quality and conversion.

What is a Designer Day?

A Designer Day is a focused, one-on-one session. We work exclusively on your brand or website for a full day (or half day), covering everything from visual updates to strategy.

What can we cover in a day?

Each session is shaped to your goals. Possibilities include:
• Refining or expanding your website
• Designing new sections or pages
• SEO and performance optimization
• Visual polish or strategic layout updates
• Pre-launch design reviews

How do I book?

You can view availability and book via our Designer Day booking page. Spots are limited, so we recommend booking in advance.

A curated index of thoughtful creatives, freelancers, and small businesses—rooted in values, creativity, and intention. It’s designed to inspire, connect, and support.
