What are Squarespace Templates?
I like to explain squarespace templates as the middle option for someone who is looking for a website that’s both affordable and high quality.
It’s between DIY and hiring a professional to do all the work for you essentially, but you reap the benefits of both worlds!
Types of website templates
This part can get a little confusing! But there are two different kinds of templates when using squarespace - the free default and the paid premium.
Let me explain:
Default Templates: These are free templates available to you when you first create your squarespace site. They typically are very minimal (you have to put some design work into it) and are not catered to your niche.
Premium Templates: These templates are designed by third party web designers. They offer a way more personalized experience and are usually catered to specific services making them a way better option.
How much do custom squarespace templates cost?
The cost of squarespace templates varies depending on the designer and the features offered. On average, you can expect to invest between $150 to $400 for a custom squarespace template.
What can I change on my website if I'm using a squarespace template?
Everything! Once you have a purchased template (psst, browse our template shop), you are free to customize it however you want!
You can change up the colors, fonts, add or delete pages, the possibilities are endless. It’s a head start for you to get a theme that’s fits with your brand and business.
Once you purchase a template, all you have to do it add your own web copy and images to the pages and then you’re all set to launch!
Squarespace Template Benefits
Squarespace is known for being super user friendly, so even if you are feeling uneasy about navigating around the back-end, I’m hear to tell you it’s not that scary!
User Interface
If you’re using squarespace version 7.1 (all my templates come in this version!), then you get to use the super cool drag-and-drop functionality that Squarespace offers.
All elements can easily be moved around and there is no hassle dealing with third-party integrations since it’s an all-in-one platform. This means things like social media integration, form builders and even your domain hosting are all within squarespace!
