Squarespace-Substack Power Up
A one-day intensive to get your website + Substack working beautifully together
If you’re an author using both Squarespace and Substack, you already know the magic in combining a professional website with a growing newsletter. But keeping those two platforms in sync, consistent, and strategically connected? That can be overwhelming.
Let me integrate them properly, so you impress your readers and protect your SEO.
I’ll spend a focused day sorting out how your Squarespace site and Substack talk to each other—so your readers move effortlessly between the two, your sign-ups increase, and your author platform feels polished and intentional.
The Squarespace-Substack Power Up is perfect for you if:
You have a Squarespace website and an active Substack
You want both tools to work seamlessly—without duct-tape solutions
You’d love to grow your newsletter list directly from your website
You’re ready for consistent branding across both platforms
You cross-post content and want to avoid SEO penalties
You’re ready for expert, hands-on help… in one productive day
Relax while I set up the tech to help your work go further, so you can reach more readers, every time you post.

Every Power Up is different, but here are some likely areas I’ll work on for you:
✓ Embed and optimize your Substack signup form on your website
✓ Add an optional website pop-up to promote your Substack
✓ Display your live Substack feed on your Squarespace site
✓ Enhance your Substack Welcome email, to promote your website
✓ Unify branding across Squarespace + Substack
✓ Review your content strategy and cross-posting history, then guide you on what to post where to avoid SEO conflicts
✓ Add teasers in Squarespace for your best Substack pieces, encouraging website visitors to engage with your newsletter
Ahead of time, we’ll discuss your wishlist and prioritize the most important tasks.
By the end of your Power Up day, your Substack and Squarespace platforms will work together smoothly, beautifully, and strategically.

How the Substack-Squarespace Power Up works
It’s simple, streamlined, and stress-free. You’ll know exactly when your website transformation is happening — and you’ll likely be amazed what I get done in just one day.
-
After you inquire and give me an idea of your goals for the day, I’ll check out your website and Substack to confirm we’re a match. Then, we’ll pick the date for your Power Up, and you’ll pay a 30% deposit.
-
I’ll guide you on what to gather before we start, and share instructions for how to grant me temporary access to your Squarespace website and Substack.
You’ll also prioritize your list of any other small website tweaks you’d like me to work on.
-
We’ll meet by Zoom a few days before the big day, to review priorities and any material that you’ve gathered.
-
You’ve done everything ahead of time, so you can get on with other work (or life!) while I bring my brilliance to your Substack-Squarespace integrations.
-
Optional: At the end of the day, we’ll get back on a short call to discuss the updates, and make sure you’re comfortable with any new skills to keep things fresh.
-
You’ll get complimentary access to a complete library of Squarespace training videos, plus 7 days of email support from me.
(Remember, you get free 24×7 support from the Squarespace team, too.)

Frequently Asked
Do I need both a Substack and a Squarespace website?
Yes—this service is designed for authors using both platforms.
Can I use this service if I’m not an author?
Probably! Please get in touch, send me your Squarespace website and Substack links, and we’ll take it from there.
Do you redesign my whole website?
This isn’t a website overhaul, but your existing site will feel smoother, more polished, and more connected to your Substack presence.
That said, there might be time for a few small website improvements during your day. If we’re aiming for these too, you’ll prioritize what I work on. And you’re welcome to book a follow-up day, if needed.
Do you rewrite content or create marketing copy?
No, but I will integrate what you already have and give clear recommendations where improvements are needed.
What if I don’t cross-post content in both places?
No problem. I can still optimize your setup and advise you on best practices going forward.
How far in advance do I need to book?
I typically book a few weeks out. Once you choose your date, that’s your guaranteed slot. If you’re gathering material for me, this will be due one week before the nominated day.
Do I need to be available during the whole day?
No — just for our planning call, which happens a few days ahead, and your optional handover call at the end. The rest of the time, I’ll be working my magic behind the scenes.
How much time will you spend?
I’ll support you with preparation before your Power Up day, and with emailed questions for 7 days afterward. On the day itself, I’ll clear my calendar to spend up to 6 focused hours on your site. My years of experience mean I get stellar results fast.
Hi, I’m Pauline Wiles
I’m not only a Squarespace designer with years of experience creating beautiful, powerful author websites — I’m also an author myself.
I understand how writers use Substack, and I also know you have better things to do than wrestle with website code, formatting inconsistencies, or accidental SEO problems.
This Power Up brings everything together for you—professionally, thoughtfully, and efficiently.
