Your work matters.
Your website should say so.
You’ve worked hard and created something special. You want to reach more people, but the last thing you need is a generic, pushy sales site.
The Town Mouse listens deeply and combines copywriting and Squarespace design in one seamless package to create an online presence that tells your story and shares your message exactly the way you want it.
You’ve built something great. People love your work.
Your website tells a different story.
Maybe you don't have one yet. You've been getting by on word of mouth and social media and it's working up to a point. But glowing reviews from friends only take you so far.
Or you have a site, but it went up quickly in the early days and really doesn’t reflect what you've actually built. The online shop runs and there’s a nice paragraph about how passionate you are, but otherwise it reads a lot like everyone else's website.
If people can’t tell who you’re for and why they should trust you, they hesitate. They might even decide that you're 'not quite right' for them - that's quite galling when you know that you absolutely are!
The trouble is, fixing it keeps getting bumped down the list. It sounds boring at best, and at worst you're picturing being shoehorned into a generic sales site filled with pretentious twaddle, or spending hours wrangling technology.
But meanwhile, people who would love what you do…
…don’t find you.
It doesn’t have to be like that.
The Town Mouse takes everything you've built and writes about it with care. This becomes the foundation for a beautiful Squarespace website which lets your heart and vision shine out online exactly the way you’ve always wanted them to.

It’s so easy to create your website…
-
Step 1
We talk. Together we decide what sections you want on your website and how much writing you need and I give a quote. You sign the agreement and pay the deposit, and we’re away.
-
Step 2
We collaborate. A questionnaire and kick-off call collects everything I need to understand you and your business, and make sure I'm getting off on the right foot.
-
Step 3
I build. I write, design and create your website and send it over to you.
-
Step 4
We refine. You give feedback until you're happy with words and design.
-
Step 5
It's yours. I transfer the website into your name and show you how to use it.
From that point, you own it entirely and run it yourself.
Hi, I'm Lisa: the human writer behind The Town Mouse Writing Company. I write copy and design Squarespace websites for people who've worked hard to achieve something that makes them die of pride, and want that handled with respect and care.
So what’s The Town Mouse about? It’s about choosing a life and a vision that suits you. It’s about putting that into words. It’s about showing who you are and what’s inside. It’s about being unafraid. It’s about having one quick last peek at your website before bed, because it’s gorgeous and you can’t believe that it’s yours and you actually did this thing. It’s about the fantastic buzz every time a new customer says, ‘yeah, I found your website… I really liked it…’
If you're creating something that matters, want your website to sound like you on your best day, and can't be doing with technological faff, we'll likely get on just fine.
