Custom Squarespace Website for SAJFRT Jewellery | Advanced E‑commerce, Code Styling & SEO Strategy

Hélène Sajfrt, the founder of SAJFRT, needed a refined yet editable website for her poetic jewellery brand. I designed and built a custom Squarespace 7.1 site featuring hover-activated shop elements, an animated homepage, custom code styling, and dynamic landing pages. I also set up her Acuity scheduling, mobile responsiveness, and created bespoke brand assets including videos and layout interactions. This project was completed in collaboration with Jonathan deBeer (iso800) and branding agency Marnix + Ally.

 

INTRO | Web Design, SEO & Instagram Strategy

When Hélène reached out to Jonathan deBeer of iso800, she was preparing to launch her jewellery brand, SAJFRT — an architectural blend of geometry, movement, and memory. I often collaborate with Jonathan as the web designer in a flexible team of self-employed creatives, and together we help bring full brand identities to life.

Hélène had been working with branding agency Marnix + Ally and already had a beautiful brand identity in place, along with initial design plans and product photography. What she needed next was a web designer who could take that vision and bring it to life on a platform that offered her control and independence. Squarespace was the perfect fit — flexible, beautiful, and easy for her to update on her own as the business grew.

 

ABOUT SAJFRT

SAJFRT is a modern jewellery brand founded by Hélène Sajfrt — a goldsmith with a background in architecture and a deep sense of narrative in her work. Her pieces explore structure, emotion, and rhythm through minimalist design. She needed a brand and online presence that reflected that same sense of balance and intentionality.

 

WHAT Hélène NEEDED

SAJFRT already had a visual language and brand strategy, but the website needed building from the ground up. Hélène wanted:

  • A clean, minimal site that reflected the poetic and architectural nature of her work

  • An online shop with space to grow — built in a way that didn’t require a developer for every update

  • An SEO foundation to help her reach new customers organically

  • Subtle ways to translate the tone of the brand (structure, movement, stillness) into digital space

The brief was clear: make it simple, make it elegant, and make it future-proof.

 

WHAT I CREATED

Starting with Hélène’s brand files and a proposed design direction, I translated everything into a fully custom-built Squarespace site that felt like a natural extension of her brand: minimalist, poetic, and quietly precise.

Squarespace gave us the flexibility to create a visually rich and technically polished website — while still giving Hélène full autonomy to grow and update it herself.

Beyond the foundational build, this project involved many bespoke elements:

  • A homepage concept based on moving numbers — with hover-triggered videos and full-page click-through navigation

  • A custom landing page featuring changing background imagery on reload

  • Custom hover states throughout the shop — revealing object info intuitively without clutter

  • Dynamic layout adjustments and brand-specific font integration via custom code

  • A bottom-of-screen menu bar with hover-triggered folder reveals

  • Clickable full-page containers for intuitive navigation

  • Acuity scheduling integration and setup for bespoke project bookings

  • Custom-made visual assets and branded video content for future product lines

  • Tailored mobile responsiveness and margin/text spacing adjustments throughout

I also worked closely with Hélène to refine the visual language across the site — ensuring that every product title, heading, and description felt aligned with the quiet power of the brand.

Sarah Foubert

I’m a photographer and Squarespace web designer based in Altrincham, South Manchester. I specialise in portrait, landscape and opera photography and also offer a “complete website package” where I can offer headshots, photos of your business and design your new website so you can manage it yourself afterwards.

Over the years I’ve built a portfolio career as a professional photographer, opera singer, wardrobe assistant and singing teacher. I have a MMus from the RNCM, a Bachelor in Theatre Sciences and Musicology from Ghent University and I’m a qualified teacher. When my son was born in 2021 I quickly realised that an opera career wasn’t as compatible with being a mum as much as I would like, so I decided to change my focus completely to photography and web design.

I prefer working with daylight in casual surroundings while having a chat making sure you’re at ease and relaxed. It’s the little moments in between that make the best shots!

Feel free to get in touch if you’d like to work with me!
