Squarespace Expertise You Can Trust
Hi - I'm Kati, founder of Hot Lizard Designs - a Squarespace web designer based in Perth who works with businesses across Australia and internationally.
Drawing on over 20 years of business and marketing experience, I understand what makes businesses succeed online - and what doesn't.
My web design journey began a decade ago when I helped a family member rebrand their business and transition to online payments. That's when I discovered Squarespace and immediately saw how its user-friendly interface was perfect for business owners who wanted control over their online presence.
What drove me to specialise in Squarespace?
Frustration. I kept seeing businesses stuck with cookie-cutter templates that ignored their unique needs, outdated designs, and websites that didn't work on mobile. Worse yet, many had their websites held hostage by designers - paying expensive monthly fees just to make simple content changes.
Squarespace changes everything.
You get professional, mobile-responsive design that's strategically crafted for your business, while maintaining complete ownership and control.
My promise to you:
No cookie-cutter solutions, no expensive monthly maintenance fees, and websites designed with your industry and goals at the forefront. Your business, your website.
Our Commitment to Excellence
Since day one, Hot Lizard Designs has been committed to empowering small businesses with web design that makes a real difference. This work has been recognized by Squarespace, respected colleagues in the design community, and local business associations - validation that keeps us motivated to serve you with the same care and expertise
