Your questions about The Sunlight Kohlective answered

How does the website template work?

After purchasing the template of your choice you will gain instant access to the resource hub and tutorial videos. However the template delivery can take up to 2 working days, when you will receive an email inviting you to register your Squarespace account and take ownership of your chosen website template. Once you've set up your account you'll have up to 6 months to edit and customise your website before needing to subscribe to a Squarespace plan. Ideally you'll be ready to launch your website before the 6 month trial is up, at which point you can start your Squarespace subscription at the time of launch.

If you already have a Squarespace account then the website template can be added to your existing dashboard, providing you use the same email address at the checkout.

Please note once you've chosen and purchased your template design this cannot be changed for a different template design. Please ready the full Terms & Conditions for more information.

What's not included?

A custom domain and Squarespace hosting, as this needs to be paid directly to Squarespace (although you will get a new domain free for the first year*) see their pricing plans here.

What’s the full agreement and commitment between us here?

Your best bet is to take a good look through the T&Cs for The Sunlight Kohlective so you can fully understand how it’ll work, and make an informed decision. 

Why Squarespace?

Squarespace is the ideal website and hosting platform for small businesses that want a stunning website that is easy to edit and maintain, and can grow alongside your business. I have designed websites in many platforms, from WordPress to Showit and Wix, and Squarespace is by far the most intuitive and user friendly to use without sacrificing design capability or SEO performance. Squarespace takes care of your website security, has a dedicated support team as well as many resources to help its customers get the most from the platform, This is why it is my preferred platform and why I recommend it to my clients.

Can I just pay for the website template or ongoing support now, without having to do both?

Afraid not, right now the website template and ongoing support come as a combined package - with a minimum three months’ done-with-you support option. The idea is to make sure you have the time you need to set-up your website and then get troubleshooting support in the first months of the membership.

How is this different from other website template shops out there?

The Sunlight Kohlective is different to other template shops you might have seen online because you get live, expert help and support, with accountability and your own community to turn to. It’s not just a DIY, “here you are - now off you go, on your own” deal. You’re not just taking a random template and plugging it in, this experience is geared towards what you actually need as a solo business owner.

How long will it take me to get R.O.I.?

It’ll depend a little on your own pricing / packaging structure, as one client isn't the same as one session. For one of my clients, who charges £70 p/w for online 1-2-1 therapy, it would only take 6-7 client session bookings to pay for the website template AND the 3 month support. Obviously, there's also hosting that needs to be paid which is another £200 p/y (approx.) to factor in (and muddy the waters a little), but another 3 bookings would cover that.
