Squarespace Website For College Admissions Advisor
Nationwide college admissions advisor turns to Squarespace for new site to educate students and parents alike
As a Squarespace expert and Denver website designer, I recently created a compelling digital presence for a nationwide college admissions advisor. This project demonstrates how Squarespace for educational professionals effectively balances information delivery with engaging design to attract both students and educational institutions.
The Brief
Our client, a seasoned college admissions advisor with over 15 years of experience, needed a professional website to serve multiple audiences: college-bound students seeking guidance, parents researching advisors, and colleges looking for partnership opportunities. The site needed to establish credibility, showcase success stories, and provide clear pathways for different user journeys while reflecting the advisor's approachable yet professional personality.
The Process
We always begin our project with in-depth kickoff call to understand the client's unique value proposition: personalized student matching, nationwide college relationships, successful placements at competitive institutions, and a holistic approach to student development. Competitive analysis helped identify opportunities to stand out in the market.
Based on discovery findings, we developed a site structure that clearly segmented information for different audiences, highlighted testimonials, created an engaging narrative around the client's methodology, incorporated educational resources, and included clear calls-to-action for consultations.
Squarespace proved ideal for this educational professional, offering clean, professional templates, robust blog functionality, portfolio features for student success stories, integrated scheduling for consultations, and mobile responsiveness for users on various devices.
The website design team at Agave then built a fully custom Squarespace website that balanced professionalism with approachability. The design incorporated a calming yet energetic color palette inspired by prestigious universities, typography conveying trustworthiness and strategic white space creating clarity to illustrate the step-by-step advisory process.
The Result
The finished website successfully translated the advisor's expertise into a compelling digital experience. The homepage featured an engaging introduction with immediate credibility markers and clear pathways for different users. Services were detailed with breakdowns for different student needs, pricing transparency, and value propositions.
A visually dynamic gallery showcased student testimonials paired with their college admissions, creating powerful social proof. The resources hub contained regularly updated admissions insights, positioning the advisor as a thought leader. The about page balanced professional credentials with personal passion, while contact and booking features streamlined consultation scheduling.
The advisor reported a 47% increase in consultation bookings within three months of launch, with particular growth in out-of-state inquiries. The resources section began generating organic traffic, bringing in students earlier in their college planning journey.
