About olio creative - a Squarespace and brand studio in the UK.
howdy
hello
A little bit about us
Founded in 2012 by Ian, olio creative is a small, focused studio with a soft spot for charities and the people behind them.
Ian started olio creative as a one-man band, running it alongside in-house creative roles at UK charities. Matt joined soon after and has shaped our design and branding work ever since. We went full-time in 2024, and it's still just the two of us, so you'll always be working directly with the people designing and building your site.
And, of course, there's Finley and Moss, our office Supurrvisor and Chief Meower, who keep morale high with their legendary naps.
Between us, we bring over 20 years of experience in Squarespace web design, graphic design and branding. We've created 150+ websites and are official Squarespace Experts and Circle Platinum Partners, which gives our clients exclusive access to updates, extended trials and discounts.
Some of our clients include.
The dream team.
