Job Overview

We are a U.S.-based startup engineering services firm — three principals, focused on the data center, power generation, and renewable energy markets. Our target buyers are hyperscaler procurement teams, IPP developers, and EPC partners. We need a clean, credible 4-page Squarespace launch website live within approximately 4 weeks of project kickoff. This is intentionally a lean launch site, not a comprehensive corporate site. A detailed Scope of Work is attached.

Project Scope

Four (4) pages: Home, Services, Team, Contact. We will provide:

- Active Squarespace account and registered domain

- Microsoft 365 already configured for company email (DNS work must not disrupt mail flow)

- Logo with vector source files (logo design is OUT of scope)

- Brand palette direction (navy / steel blue)

- First draft of all page copy (vendor refines)

- Imagery — custom photos plus licensed stock (we source via our Adobe Stock account; vendor advises on style and selection)

Vendor Responsibilities

- Build, design, and launch the 4-page Squarespace site

- Refine copy and provide on-page SEO advisory

- Configure DNS to point Squarespace at our domain WITHOUT disrupting Microsoft 365 mail flow (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX records must remain intact)

- Configure Google Analytics 4, cookie consent banner (CCPA / CPRA compliant), basic WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility

- Two design rounds plus three revisions per round

- Cross-browser and mobile testing

- Training session and short recorded handoff video at launch

- Weekly written progress report (Fridays) with screenshots, summary, hours billed, and hours remaining

- Weekly 30-minute Microsoft Teams review meeting with all three principals

Required Skills & Experience

- Squarespace expertise (this is our platform — non-negotiable)

- Demonstrated B2B / professional services / engineering portfolio

- On-page SEO setup and configuration

- DNS configuration with email mail-flow protection (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX)

- Web copywriting refinement and SEO advisory

- U.S.-based (city and state required in proposal)

- Minimum 90% Job Success Score and 50 or more completed jobs

- Single point of contact (no offshore subcontracting unless disclosed)

Engagement Structure

- Hourly contract on Upwork

- Upwork Time Tracker mandatory for all billable hours — manual time entries will not be approved

- Maintenance retainer to continue on the same Upwork contract after launch (separate weekly hour cap and rate)

- Visual design references and full scope are in the attached Scope of Work

Application

You must answer the 4 screening questions to apply. Application window: 5 business days. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to a 20-minute video screening call.

Thank you.
