A website that feels like home

That’s why we create beautiful, strategic, and ridiculously easy-to-use Squarespace templates—so you can skip the struggle and launch a site that feels like you. No code, no stress, just a website you’re proud to share.

Hey there, I’m Barb.
I’m Barb-the designer, strategist, and creative brain behind Kickstart Creatives. I build Squarespace templates that don’t just look pretty—they actually help small business owners feel proud, supported, and confident online.
I know the DIY website struggle is real. That’s why I made a collection of easy-to-use, professionally designed templates that take the stress out of building your site, so you can skip the tech headaches and get back to doing what you do best.
When I’m not knee-deep in template tweaks or pretending font choice is a personality trait, I’m probably snuggling my doodles or Googling if I can call “shower thinking” a business expense.
Ready to build a website you’re obsessed with? Let’s do it.
