client: the intentional life project
Squarespace Website Design & Branding for Lifestyle Platform
scope: WEBSITE DESIGN · SEO STRATEGY · Brand Design
The Intentional Life Project is a digital space created to support women in living with greater presence, clarity, and personal agency.
The vision behind the project was to create more than an informational website. The goal was to design an online environment that invites visitors into a slower, more thoughtful experience, one that feels supportive, expansive, and quietly encouraging.
This was a full-scope project that blended brand identity, website design, UX strategy, and SEO-informed content structure to create a cohesive and evolving digital platform.
Every detail was considered through the lens of experience: how visitors arrive, how they move through the space, and how the website gently supports reflection, exploration, and continued engagement over time.
The result is a calm, editorial-inspired website designed to feel both grounding and aspirational, while supporting long-term growth through thoughtful structure and search visibility foundations.
Brand Design
The brand identity was designed to reflect the lived experience of intentional living: calm, spacious, and deeply human.
Soft, coastal-inspired tones were paired with subtle texture layering and organic visual elements to create a sense of warmth and quiet movement. The palette feels grounded yet airy, creating space for content to breathe while maintaining a strong visual presence.
Typography choices balance softness with clarity. Serif fonts introduce warmth and gentle structure, while refined sans-serif accents maintain readability and ease across digital environments.
The logo direction is intentionally understated and symbolic, allowing imagery and language to lead while creating a cohesive visual thread across the site.
The overall visual system is designed to feel equally at home alongside reflective writing, educational resources, and evolving content collections, supporting long-term flexibility as the platform continues to grow.
Website Design
The focus of this custom Squarespace website design was to create an online experience that feels intuitive, supportive, and thoughtfully paced.
Rather than overwhelming visitors with information, the structure encourages exploration through intentional content flow, allowing each page to feel calm and spacious while still guiding visitors toward meaningful next steps.
The website was designed as a foundation for ongoing content development, including blog articles, resource guides, and opt-in experiences that support long-term relationship building.
