Squarespace looks great in demos. Your leads don't make it past the homepage.
FabBuilds builds custom websites for coaches and content creators that go beyond aesthetics, built around your specific offer, your audience's objections, and the exact action you want visitors to take. Starting at $500, live in 10 days, fully yours to own.
Custom website as a Squarespace alternative for coaches, consultants, and content creators who need real conversion systems, not just beautiful templates.
THE PROBLEM
Why Squarespace stops working for serious businesses.
Every Squarespace site looks like every other Squarespace site.
Squarespace templates are polished, but your clients have seen them before, on a yoga studio, a photographer, a bakery. When your site looks like everyone else's, it doesn't build trust. It blends in.
No real custom functionality without painful workarounds.
Want a multi-step onboarding form? A lead scoring system? An automated email sequence triggered by user behavior? Squarespace forces you into Zapier workarounds, third-party embeds, and broken integrations. We build it natively.
You're locked in the moment you launch.
Squarespace lets you export your content, but not your design, your integrations, or your custom code. Start over from scratch if you ever leave. With FabBuilds, you own every file from day one.
WHAT YOU GET INSTEAD
Custom-built. Fully owned. Designed to convert.
Built around your offer, not a template
We design from scratch based on your business model, your audience, and the conversion flow that actually makes sense for what you sell, whether that's a coaching package, a digital product, or a membership.
Checkout, funnels, and automation built in
Stripe checkout, email sequences via ConvertKit or Resend, lead magnet delivery, calendar booking, all built natively, not stitched together with Zapier. It works reliably and scales with you.
Performance that helps you rank
Squarespace sites average a 50–65 Lighthouse score on mobile. We ship at 90+. Faster sites rank higher, convert better, and keep visitors from bouncing before your CTA loads.
No subscriptions once we launch
Squarespace starts at $16/month and scales to $65/month for commerce. We charge once to build it. You host it on Vercel for free on the hobby plan, or ~$20/month for teams. That's it.

I had been meaning to build a real site for two years. Fab had it live in under two weeks. The first week it went live I booked three new clients from people who found me on Google. I had never had that happen before.
