I already have a bare-bones Squarespace build in place for my author platform—just three pages: About, Books, and Contact. Now I want that skeleton turned into something that looks professionally designed and cohesive with my fiction brand. Here’s what I’m aiming for: a modern, edgy feel that leans into dark tones without becoming gloomy. The homepage should let the author photo take centre stage while still teasing visitors with striking jacket-cover thumbnails that click straight through to their respective Amazon pages. All copy is ready to paste in; I’ll supply the photo assets, book covers, and any additional blurbs you might need. The job revolves around styling and layout rather than heavy development. I’d like you to: • Select or refine a Squarespace template that suits a darker, contemporary palette • Arrange About, Books, and Contact pages so navigation feels effortless on desktop and mobile • Integrate the Squarespace form block for a clean contact form, routed to my email • Optimise all imagery and make sure links to Amazon are unmistakably clear • Fine-tune fonts, spacing, and hover states to match that sleek, modern vibe Once the design is locked, a quick walkthrough or short Loom video showing me how to tweak text or swap images in the future would be appreciated. Deliverables are the live site and any design notes or custom CSS you’ve used. If you’ve made lean, visually bold Squarespace sites before, I’d love to see them—especially those that rely on strong photography and dark colour schemes.

Hey, I will style your three-page Squarespace site — About, Books, and Contact — into a dark, modern layout where your author photo dominates the homepage and book covers link clearly to Amazon. I will handle template selection, typography, spacing, hover states, and custom CSS. One thing I will prioritize: compressing your cover images in WebP format before uploading so the dark backgrounds load fast without banding artifacts. Questions: 1) Are you on Squarespace 7.0 or 7.1? 2) Do you have a specific font direction in mind — serif, sans-serif? Looking forward to potentially working together. Thanks, Kamran
