Squarespace Site Creation & Domain Security Support

Hi there,
I'd like to do a big overhaul and create a new website.
Step 1) Get the security certificate working again
Step 2) Get a basic website up to meet compliance needs for my credit card processor and legal requirements
Step 3) Expand on the site as we design the new website, collaborating with me for the messaging and branding as we create it together


For step 1:
Some months ago, I hired someone else, and unfortunately they seem to have aUpgrade to see actual info "broken" my website. Neither of us were able to fix it. I haven't been able to get a security certificate working and get it up and running since.

Here is the error code I receive: net::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID

I was in google domains, which now switched to squarespace. We have a LOT of DNS records now, and I think some of them are competing with each other. I need someone who can fix the DNS records and the SSL situation. I'm happy to be on a zoom call together to do this if needed, or if you can solve it yourself, that's good, too.

For step 2:
Setting up a basic site. We'll need to collaborate via slack messaging, and I will likely need to do this in stages, but it needs to be done ASAP. I need this site up to continue collecting payments, and it will need to include several compliance-based items. This site will truly be just to check boxes for Stripe payment processing needs, and it will need to go up as quickly as we can manage together.

What I need from you is to be patient and willing to do this in stages together! I expect we will get something up and running, and then I will be sending things to add or change. It's important to me that I hire someone detail oriented and thoughtful. To indicate this, please include SD4 in the subject line of your response. I'm a kind and patient person, and I also need to get this job up and running asap because my payment processor is requiring my website to include a bunch of compliance elements now.

For Step 3:
A bit about me and my business: I am a licensed psychotherapist, and I do some cool types of counseling. I work with mental health patients, and I do sports performance coaching to help athletes improve their mind-body connection and get better at their sport. I also do executive and business leadership coaching to help clients improve communication and performance at work.

I imagine a website that will have some menu options so potential clients can find information about the type of service they'd like.

I already have a branding profile, and I'll need to come up with the messaging for these pages, but I need help getting it created and up on the site.

I also want people to be able to schedule through my site - I already use calendly, so I'd like to come up with a process for new clients and existing clients to be able to book through the site.

It's important to me that the person I hire be willing to work together to create a site that matches what I have in my imagination. The trouble is that it's evolving! So I'd like to be sure I hire someone who is comfortable with positive and constructive feedback and can help me create the changes I want. I also would like to be sure you're comfortable with trying something in the website and seeing if I like it. I'm not quite sure what I want at this step 3, or exactly what I want it to look like, so I expect we'll go through several rounds to create a finalized product. I'd like someone to take a little bit of instructions and go set something up and create something so that I can then offer edits and changes.

In this way, our project at step 3 will start more ambiguous and we'll learn together. I do have an assistant who does design work for me and another assistant who does administrative work, so please be willing to collaborate with our whole team as needed for this bigger website project.

If you have interest in being part of this evolving process to develop a comprehensive site I dream of having, please send me a message.

I'm looking to hire quite quickly as I want to fix Step 1 and Step 2 this week if possible - I know that is a very fast turnaround, so I'm hoping to find someone responsive and experienced for this part of the work.

Looking forward to connecting with you!
Lauren
