Shopify to squarespace integration and design with email marketing set up

The Challenge

Jennifer Mottola, the stylist and owner behind Hair by Jen, had built a loyal client base in Charlotte with her personalized, high-quality hair services. But her existing Shopify website no longer fit her evolving business needs. Since she was no longer selling physical products, the Shopify platform felt unnecessarily complicated, and making updates required relying on a designer — often leading to delays and added costs. Jennifer wanted a modern, easy-to-manage website that gave her control over content and updates, plus a way to better engage her audience through email marketing.

The Solution

City & Sea Creative transitioned Jennifer’s website to Squarespace, a platform perfectly aligned with her current service-based business and user-friendly enough for her to manage independently. We designed a polished, professional site that showcases her expertise, services, and personality, with a focus on clear service descriptions, compelling visuals, and a streamlined booking experience.

To help Jennifer expand her client communication, we also set her up on Flodesk, integrating an opt-in form directly into the website that automatically funnels new subscribers into the correct Flodesk segments. We activated a welcome email series that delivers an automated, branded experience to every new subscriber, helping Jennifer nurture her audience and strengthen client relationships.

The Result

With her new Squarespace website and integrated Flodesk email marketing system, Jennifer now has a cohesive, elevated online presence that’s fully in her control. She can easily update her site content without waiting on a designer, and her email marketing setup allows her to engage new subscribers with minimal effort through beautifully automated campaigns. This transformation has empowered Jennifer to manage her brand confidently, streamline her client experience, and open new opportunities for connection and growth.
