Design Days
TL;DR—FOR FILM + THEATRE FREELANCERS, ARTISTS AND BUSINESSES WHO NEED WEB DESIGN HELP FOR A DAY OR TWO.
I’m Tem.
It’s lovely to meet you!
I specialise in designing Squarespace websites for creatives pursuing careers in film, television and live performance, whether they’re in front of an audience or behind-the-scenes.
Why this niche? Well, besides being a Squarespace web designer, I’m also a film director and script supervisor, with a sister who’s an actor and theatre-maker.
I live in Aotearoa, New Zealand but work with cast and crew all around the world. (And yup, I’m a big LOTR fan—which can not be said of every Kiwi. Madness, I know.)
Does your website feel like your greatest liability?
You’ve made a big investment with your time (and possibly finances) learning Squarespace to build and launch your website. But that was several years ago…
Today, your portfolio is out-of-date, you think you might be losing out on bigger jobs, and you’ve lost count of the number of sites that use the exact same free Squarespace template as you.
Now, whenever you give out your website link to producers or potential collaborators, that great feeling you originally had has been replaced by a self-conscious little voice in your head that pipes, “You haven’t updated your portfolio in 2 years!”
But you don’t have the time to do it.
Or maybe, despite knowing what updates your site desperately needs, you don’t have the Squarespace expertise or design skills to execute your vision.
Here’s where help comes in…
CLIENT REVIEWS

"Working with Tem on my personal Squarespace site was fun, efficient, and easy.
“Her process made it very clear to me what materials I needed to upload and when. Most importantly, the final result is beautiful. Tem listened to what I wanted, added her own excellent design sense, and problem-solved to bring it all to life."
— Emily Draper, Writer and Director

"The result and what we achieved on the design day was epic and hugely cost-effective.
“The additional layer of impeccable design skills means I now have a brand-new website designed in a way that feels complementary to my work.”
— Charlotte Evans, Film director
NOT EVERYONE NEEDS THE WHOLE SHEBANG CUSTOM WEBSITE EXPERIENCE
Sometimes all you need is a day of personalised website support
WHAT’S IN A DESIGN DAY?
SUPERPIXEL FLEXES
TO FIT YOUR NEEDS
Before your Design Day, I’ll work with you to turn your vision and ideas into a practical to-do list in order of priority.
A to-do list might include:
Do a designer pass over a DIY website + launch it
Transfer your site from WordPress / Squarespace 7.1
Custom coding for style tweaks / custom fonts / special features
Integrate a CRM / scheduling app
Design a blog / portfolio / events / shop page
Optimise + add new content
Design + apply a new colour palette / fonts
Your investment covers my time, unlike our custom website service, which covers deliverables. We’ll create your priority list based on what I believe I can fit into your session.
Then fuelled by adrenaline and coffee, I work at speed on the day down your to-do list with the goal of ticking it all off—or at least 95% of it.
(Woah, is that a typing cat? No, it’s Tem BTS on a Superpx Day)
BY THE END OF OUR SESSION, YOU’LL COME AWAY WITH
the satisfaction of finally crossing your website off your to-do list (yay)

Superpixel is right for you if you…
can make time to do prep for your design day, e.g. preparing a Pinterest moodboard, website copy and other types of content
have a pretty good idea of what you’d like done on your website and can make decisions fairly quickly*
you know that you and your career deserve a better website, but custom web design is too expensive 🥲
said you’d DIY your site, but it’s just been sitting on your to-do list for months…
* If you prefer to sleep on design decisions (no judgement here!), a 2-day session might suit you better.
Leave your website in expert hands for a day and get back to what you love doing
FAQ
-
No worries. I take listening to your needs seriously. If I feel your project fits into a longer (or shorter) session, I’ll advise you, and you get to make the final call. We can limit the scope of work or extend your project to the next day.
-
Yes. Payment can either be made in full when you book OR split into two:
50% due when you book, and
50% due the day before your Design Day
-
Absolutely—if we’re in different timezones, we can work out a way to maximise the time we’re mutually awake.
-
While you don't need to block out your diary, you should keep your booking date non-busy. I'll be expecting to hear back from you quickly when I need to ask for clarification or request your feedback. Therefore, it'd be great if you are on / near to your computer during the day, so you can review your website as needed.
-
Ideally, yes, as it eliminates any distractions for me in-between. However, days can also be within the same week.
-
Design Days are ideal for people who can make decisions quickly or have a good idea of what they want, as we will be working fast and won’t have much time to explore design options.
For clients who want more customisations, time to explore options and/or give feedback, then I recommend my 2–3 weeks custom website service.
