Featured Square Online Site: SheekStudio.com

Hello! 👋 Every other week, I will be featuring rad sites built using Square Online by sellers like you. It’s a great way to pick up tips that you can incorporate into your own site!

This week we’re taking a look at SheekStudio.com, the website for New Jersey-based Sheek Studio.

Some businesses make heavy use of black as a background for branding, which means that they will likely want to use that as a background on their website. Sheek Studio’s logo would require that at least their navigation background be black:

You can make further use of black as a background in other sections, though you’ll need to consider what your content looks like on top of it. The high contrast of black versus colors and text means that you need to be more minimalist with your content.

Sheek Studio achieves this by keeping both backgrounds and text colors monochromatic. Using a white background for one section breaks up the page for a visitor, so they absorb information in smaller chunks. It also prevents your eye from being overwhelmed by too many contrasting colors.

Another note about fonts: you’ll notice that there are only two fonts used. One font is used for the site navigation, and another font is used for all the site text. Using just two means that your brain doesn’t need to expend as much effort mapping the font to letters of the alphabet. Think of it like a computer, where it needs to use more memory and processing power to handle the extra fonts.

One final touch I wanted to call out is the inclusion of a statement and signature by salon owner Reyna Sheek.

Just like on printed brochures, including a signature and statement on your website adds a nice personal touch. It helps you connect directly with your customers in a human way - this is really important when the communication method isn’t direct like a phone conversation or in-person chat.

What do you think? Let me know in the comments below! Let me know if you have a site you want to nominate - just send me a private message (hover over my username, then click on the button in the popup to send a message)!

Hi Adam! How does one get featured on this? This would absolutely awesome. I have been using square since I opened by business and use everything square has to offer for my salon. I would absolutely love this!

Thanks for the comment, @Lisaa08mo! Send me a private message with the website address of your Square Online site and I'll add it to the list. Due to volume I can't guarantee what sites are featured, but I greatly appreciate you sending yours over!

I had no idea you could add signatures likes that or even make a website ?

With Square Online you can set up a website for your business for free, @pinkflame00! 😊

The signature in the screenshot was done by making an image of the screenshot and uploading that.

Hi Adam!

I have been using square for my business since I opened. I will be venturing out and opening my own salon by the end of the year. I love the layout for this salon! Do you offer assistance with that?

AdamB, Thanks for this information! I will be creating a new website on the Square platform. Or really, I could use the help of someone tech-savy to do this for me. I'm much better at serving people in my day spa--I'm a people person. But how do I get in touch w a Square-experienced, creative type who can help me do the computer work to set up my own new website?

Hi, @Terrife! Yes, you can add links in a lot of places, like your site navigation, in text, and with images and buttons. Did you simply want to link to your Instagram profile, or did you want to include images and be able to tag them for shopping?

Hi, @Spa1669. It looks like your site is built using a different builder than Square Online, right? It looks like it was built using Squarespace. I did a Google search and found some results which might help.
