You didn’t start your design studio just so you could get stuck in the development weeds with every project. You don’t have to become an expert developer, you just need to team up with your dev bestie.

Here's to booking with you, kid.

Imagine if development was the easiest part.

It’s not just a collaboration, it’s the meet-cute your design business has been dreaming of.

Teaming up with a Squarespace developer like me means you stay focused on what you do best.

Dev Days are for designers looking to match their design eye with focused development sessions, one day at a time.

Welcome to the new way to outsource dev in a totally code bro free environment.

I run my own design studio.

Of course

I struggle with

  • Code & Dev Skills

    You can make a website function, but it lacks the polished touch that a seasoned developer would bring. Your clients deserve the best website possible.

  • Time Management

    Each project runs into the next. It takes valuable time to develop your own designs in Squarespace. You’ve reached your max number of projects and don’t see how you can grow your brand.

  • Making a Profit

    You avoid doing the math on your projects because you know you’re not making a true profit. You’ve got most things covered, but you need to be smart about outsourcing, so you can charge what you’re truly worth.

  • Scaling My Brand

    Your business is growing, but you’ve run out of time in your day. Your workflow bottlenecks and you could really use a way to maximize your output without bringing a full-time employee.

  • Outsourcing Woes

    You outsourced dev before and ended up with a flakey code bro who rolled their eyes at Squarespace, broke your site with bad code, and created 3x the work for you. You swore you’d never bring that bro energy into your business again.

  • Mockups as Maps

    Your vision brought into responsive reality by building pixel-perfect sites based on your design mockups. We’ll plan ahead so you don’t have to be on call during our Dev Day.

    Before the Dev Day:

    • Design assets & mockups submitted

    • Code reqs and customizations finalized

    • Clear scope and game plan set

    You know exactly what happens every step of the way.

    Yes, plz & thank you

  • Client-First Focus

    Dev Days move quickly, but we don’t skip steps. I start a brand-new Squarespace 7.1 website built to set your client up for success, even if we do use code. Your client goals are the Dev Day goals.

    Your client front & center of all dev decisions.

    • Simple and effective dev & coding methods

    • SEO-focused customizations

    • Recorded tutorials for custom features

    Aw, Bestie

  • No Code Bro Energy

    Welcome to the world of coding hospitality, where communication is good, your project runs smoothly, and you (and your clients) have the best experience possible.

    Code Bros are flakey development snobs who roll their eyes at Squarespace while breaking your site with bad code.

    Outsourcing development doesn’t have to give you the ick.

You had me at bestie, Bestie.

Hi, I’m Kacey (they/them)

Kacey (they/them) is Jupiter is Kacey.

I am a trans nonbinary sweetie who believes that gender is fake and that good snacks are very very real. I believe that the 90s were 10 years ago. I want to know about your fave books, movies, and your current hyper-fixation.

I’m a Scorpio which surprises no one. My moon is in Gemini in my eighth house and Chani told me that means I, like, need to collaborate (and listen).

Tell me your story and I will tell you mine.

I can’t wait to meet you.

I’m just a Dev standing in front of a Designer,
asking you to book a Dev Day

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Dev Days are VIP-day-style intensives where I provide my Squarespace development skills for your design needs during one 8ish-hour session.

    All development will take place in Squarespace 7.1, based on your design mockups and submitted design assets.

    Dev Days are scoped according to project requirements, and not necessarily one day = one website.

    Up to 5 pages can typically be completed during a Dev Day, depending on the amount of code and customization required.

  • Book an initial consultation to discuss details, available dates, and next steps. Availability is limited to ensure focused, quality development for each project.

  • Once booked, we'll have a detailed chat about your project before your scheduled Dev Day.

    During the Dev Day, we’ll have async communication to ensure focused, quality development of your project.

  • Due to the nature of Dev Days, design mock-ups are required to be submitted by the designer prior to the Dev Day.

    Projects that do not have design mock-ups are not suited for Dev Days.

  • Not at all. I’ll handle all the coding, so you don’t have to worry about the technical side. I’ll use code, when necessary, to bring your designs to life.

  • A Dev Day is effectively a day rate for my development skills.

    If a revision is necessary due to developer error, it will be corrected.

    Should changes be made by client or designer after the Dev Day, then additional Dev Days will be required for additional scope.

  • Dev Days are scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays each month.

    A Dev Day can be booked 90 days out from the initial consultation call.

    There is a 14 day window to reschedule your Dev Day once booked.

    A contract and invoice is required to book your Dev Day.

But mostly, bestie, you won’t hate outsourcing your development.

Not even close,
not even a little bit,
not even at all.

Now get over here and get on the books for your upcoming Dev Day before we both start crying.
