Frequently Asked Questions

Log Cabin Digital Design is a small team headed by Patrick Jolicoeur, a Squarespace Circle Expert based in Abbotsford, BC. We build premium custom Squarespace websites and brand identity for busy founders in the Fraser Valley who want excellence without the ongoing tech hassle.

We follow a proven 6-step process (detailed on the Our Process page):

1. Discovery (questionnaire + strategy call)

2. Strategy (competitor audit + sitemap)

3. Design & Build (done directly in Squarespace)

4. Review & Test (full device testing + sign-off)

5. Launch! (self-explanatory - 3, 2, 1, blast-off sorta deal)

6. Ongoing Maintenance (Care Plan hand-off so you never have to touch it again).

Most projects go from signed contract to published site in 3–5 weeks. We move fast because we’ve done this exact process dozens of times - our turnaround time for initial drafts can be as quick as 2-3 days, and then it’s just a matter of working back and forth until your site is perfect by your standards!

We’re based in Abbotsford, BC, Canada, and we love serving local Fraser Valley businesses, but we happily work with clients across the globe who want a true Squarespace expert who won’t ghost them after launch.

It’s been a privilege to work with clients worldwide - Luxembourg, Dubai, Australia, the UK, Columbia, all over the US and Canada…

Working with folks from all walks of life is part of why we love our jobs.

Yes! This is one of the most common requests. We audit, fix issues, improve SEO/AIO, and roll it into a Care Plan. No full rebuild required unless you want one.

You have the option to move onto a Care Plan (highly recommended). Either way, we don’t disappear. Your site stays fast, secure, and visible.

Yes! Many clients start with brand identity or logo work. It pairs perfectly with a new website or Care Plan.

We're a small, dedicated team with deep Squarespace expertise. No junior staff — just experienced professionals on every project. We build it right the first time and keep the roof patched long after launch. No hard sell, just practical solutions that save you time and money long-term.

It’s a fair and common question, and the short answer is no — that myth is outdated for the most part, but it can depend on what you need. Squarespace has come a long way and now delivers strong, reliable SEO right out of the box for most small businesses and local companies.

Squarespace handles the foundational stuff extremely well — clean code, fast loading times for most sites, automatic sitemaps, mobile-first design, and easy-to-optimize titles, descriptions, and headings. For the average small business or local service company, it performs solidly right out of the box.

Where it can fall short is advanced technical tuning. Things like detailed schema markup, certain canonical controls, and deeper backend optimizations are more limited compared to platforms like WordPress. That gap shows up mainly in highly competitive niches or when you want every last drop of performance.

This is exactly where our small, dedicated team adds real value. We layer in custom code, structured data, thoughtful site architecture, and AI Optimization (AIO) during the build, then keep everything sharp with our Care Plans. The result is a Squarespace site that consistently ranks well locally and shows up strongly in AI search — without you ever having to become a tech expert yourself.

Most of our clients see excellent results with this approach. It’s the digital version of building a solid cabin foundation and then keeping the roof patched — you get the beauty and simplicity of Squarespace, plus the performance that actually moves the needle.
