Squarespace Expertise You Can Trust
Hi, I’m Kati, founder of Hot Lizard Designs – a Squarespace specialist based in Perth, working with businesses across Australia and beyond.
My business journey started with the family’s training business, wearing every hat from teaching to operations, marketing, and strategy. Later, I worked with a London finance firm, launched a portable cocktail bar business, and helped grow sales for a benchtop company in New Zealand. Each experience sharpened the skills I still use today: simplifying complex ideas, analysing what works, managing lean budgets, and delivering results.
When the family’s training business needed a more professional online presence with e-commerce, I discovered Squarespace. Within days I had built a clean, functional site that outperformed years of expensive redesigns. Word spread, referrals followed, and within months I’d founded Hot Lizard Designs.
Fast forward to today: I’ve designed 500+ Squarespace websites for businesses of all sizes. Backed by 20+ years of business and marketing experience plus an MBA, I combine strategic business thinking with Squarespace expertise to deliver websites that are professional, mobile-responsive, and designed for real growth.
Squarespace gives you control, flexibility, and freedom from overpriced, cookie-cutter solutions. My role is to make sure your site is crafted around your goals — so it not only looks great, but works hard for your business.

“Absolutely stellar experience with Hot Lizard Designs. Kati helped me redesign my website for mobile responsibility and change a page to a different layout. I couldn't be happier with how it all turned out, my website looks 10x more professional with the redesign!”
