The brief
The brief was to design and build a site that:
Showcases Hillstone’s portfolio of past, current and future projects in a clear, engaging way.
Positions the company as a trusted, established developer in Guernsey.
Provides a professional yet approachable online presence for potential clients and partners.
Is simple for the team to keep up to date as new projects are added.
Works seamlessly across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
The Role
This was a solo freelance project, with me handling every stage of the process from concept through to launch.
Starting from scratch on Squarespace, while simultaneously developing brand assets and a colour palette, I extensively customised the code to elevate the design to a high-end feel — including refining the overall aesthetic to match Hillstone’s premium brand identity.
Approach
Clean, Modern Aesthetic
I created a minimalist, elegant design, using their brand colours to complement the project imagery. The look is professional without being overly corporate, striking the right balance for Hillstone’s audience.
Project-Led Layouts
High-quality photography and carefully structured content allow each development to be presented with impact. Projects can be viewed individually, with space for key details and visuals, ensuring the focus remains on Hillstone’s work.
Easy to Update
The site was built on Squarespace, a flexible platform that allows the Hillstone team to add new projects and update content as required without needing ongoing technical support.
Responsive & Accessible
Layouts adapt smoothly to all screen sizes, ensuring an excellent experience for visitors whether browsing on desktop or mobile.

Outcome
The completed website gave Hillstone Guernsey a professional, polished online presence that accurately reflects their standing as an established property developer. Built on Squarespace, the site empowers the team to independently manage and update their portfolio as new projects come to life — removing the need for ongoing technical support. The clean, project-led design puts their developments front and centre, helping to build credibility and trust with potential clients and partners at a glance. Fully responsive and accessible, the site delivers a consistent, high-quality experience across all devices.
