Hey There!

We are LightPress, a leading Squarespace development company with a passion for creating exceptional websites for clients worldwide. Our team has been building custom Squarespace solutions since 2006 and has launched over 100 successful websites.

We work with a diverse range of clients, from small businesses to non-profits and international enterprises, to deliver top-notch services that exceed expectations.

Led by Daniel & Cooper, our team is based in the stunning Asheville, NC area, where we take pride in our quality work and personal approach to web design.

Our Mission & Values

We are invested in our clients’ success.

  • Partnering with our clients to realize their dreams is the heart-centered motivation that we return to every day.

  • As we navigate decisions about how to execute our clients’ visions for their websites, we hold their higher organizational goals and best interests above our personal profit. 

  • We honor the trust our clients have placed in our expertise, and we take that responsibility seriously.

We create affirming experiences of trust and connection.

  • So many clients land on our digital doorstep because they feel defeated. After trying to build a website on their own, they became frustrated and gave up. They need our help and reassurance! 

  • We aim to build authentic human relationships that make our clients feel safe and at ease, like they have come to the right place and found the right guides

  • We are generous with our knowledge and honest about our limitations. 

We build dynamic digital tools and empower people to use them.

  • Some of our clients’ most important goals include escaping dependence on experts just to make minor updates to their most important marketing tool. We celebrate their initiative by providing patient, personalized education to ensure that they feel comfortable taking ownership of their websites.

  • For clients who need to delegate website maintenance needs, we offer mutually sustaining partnerships to provide ongoing support.

We do this for the love of the craft.

  • We are in this profession because we are absolutely obsessed with design and communication. We believe that good design, compelling storytelling, and clear user experiences truly make the world a better place. 

  • We pursue excellence and improvement in our craft, with a downright mystical dedication to the role we creative types play in society.

We believe the hustle and grind routine is overrated.

  • Productivity alone is a poor measurement of a person’s worth. While focus and hard work are necessary and satisfying, those goals must be kept in balance with other basic human needs. And besides, people are more stable and productive if their stress is well-managed with rest, connection, and self-care!

  • We believe everyone should go outside regularly and do things that don’t involve looking at computer screens: Take deep breaths. Nurture your relationships. Move your body. Connect with the natural world. Create things just for the pleasure of creating. We encourage our clients and employees to prioritize self-care so they never lose sight of their “why.”

We strive for a culture of equity and inclusion, and we acknowledge systemic oppression.

  • LightPress welcomes people of diverse identities, backgrounds, and abilities. Everyone has something valuable to contribute.

  • We believe science is real, black lives matter, no one is illegal, trans identities are valid, and reproductive rights are human rights.

  • We acknowledge that we live on occupied land that had a vibrant, thriving culture of its own before our ancestors arrived here.

  • We believe BIPOC, disabled, and LGBTQ+ people belong in leadership roles, and we seek out opportunities to support entrepreneurship among underrepresented social groups.
