The Bottom Line

An oldie but a goodie.
Pros & Cons

Squarespace is an all-in-one platform for creating and customizing mobile-friendly websites. With intuitive drag-and-drop building elements and a vast selection of ultra-modern, premade templates that eliminate the need for coding knowledge, it's easy to see why it's a preferred pick for many first-time website owners.

Truthfully, the hardest part about designing a Squarespace site is often just choosing one of those templates — there are over 230 of them across Squarespace versions 7.0 and 7.1, the two iterations of the platform it currently supports. How do you decide which one to use for your oil painting portfolio(opens in a new tab), your Taiwanese-American food blog(opens in a new tab), or the online store for your cool-girl jeans(opens in a new tab)? (Those are all different kinds of websites that have been made with Squarespace(opens in a new tab), FYI.)

Below, we've rounded up 16 of the best Squarespace templates for all sorts of sites.

Note: Most of our recommendations are from Squarespace version 7.1, but we've sprinkled in a few options from version 7.0 that continue to stand out. Templates have been labeled accordingly.

Best for online stores

Specs
  • Squarespace version: 7.1

All Squarespace templates support its commerce features(opens in a new tab), including customized checkout, customer email notifications, and marketing, but you can get your online shop off the ground sooner with a tailor-made template like Maca(opens in a new tab). (Peep the stockist, FAQ, terms of use, and shipping/return links that are already set up for you in the bottom navigation.) Its layout plays around with color and negative space in a really smart way — it's visually interesting but not distracting. It also gives you tons of different ways to organize your products, with preset sections for featured collections, bestsellers, and sale items.

Honorable mentions: Alameda(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Anise(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Hester(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Loam(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Mariana(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Soony(opens in a new tab) (7.1), and Skyloop(opens in a new tab) (7.1).

  • Squarespace version: 7.1

Mérida(opens in a new tab) is a classic magazine-style template that does a fantastic job of making a lot of text look interesting, breaking it up with different "featured post" grids and banners so you're not just staring at a huge wall of words. For this reason, it keeps its menus pretty simple — just a couple of navigation links and social icons that don't compete with your content. Anyone who prefers browsing and reading in Dark Mode will appreciate its posts' white-on-black formatting, which looks super elegant and modern.

Honorable mentions: Brower(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Fillmore(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Forte(opens in a new tab) (7.0), Idrah(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Rivoli(opens in a new tab) (7.1), and Stanton(opens in a new tab) (7.1).

Best for a personal website/CV

Specs
  • Squarespace version: 7.1

A personal website can make it easier for companies and recruiters to find you, and a template like Noll(opens in a new tab) will add some much-needed "wow" factor. It works really well as a one-page site with a bio, a brief summary of your qualifications, your work experience/skills, and a headshot, but you can also add dedicated pages for testimonials, reviews, and a contact form. Either way, it looks very trendy (dare we say millennial-chic?) with serif fonts and a peach/scarlet color scheme.

Honorable mentions: Hart(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Otto(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Pursuit(opens in a new tab) (7.0), and Waverly(opens in a new tab) (7.1).

Best for photographers

Specs
  • Squarespace version: 7.1

Working photographers barely need to make any changes to the demo version of Quincy(opens in a new tab): It's got a show-stopping landing page, a pretty portfolio page with changing full-bleed background images, and easy-to-find social icons. But the very best part is its contact page: It's got a ready-made Acuity Scheduling block (a premium Squarespace feature(opens in a new tab)) where potential clients can schedule different kinds of sessions and submit their contact information. It'll make scheduling a breeze so you can spend more time doing what you love (actually taking pictures) and less time trying to get booked.

Honorable mentions: Elliot(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Forte(opens in a new tab) (7.0), Laurie(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Nevins(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Ortiz(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Reseda(opens in a new tab) (7.1), and Tepito(opens in a new tab) (7.1).

Best for artists

Specs
  • Squarespace version: 7.0

Wells(opens in a new tab) is a light and airy template that's been around since 2012, and it's a true oldie-but-goodie for creative types. Its simple homepage features a scrollable grid-style gallery that presents a nice overview of your work. Users can click on each thumbnail to see the full-size version with a title or caption — feel free to wax poetic about your process or inspiration there. Wells also supports store pages(opens in a new tab) if you want to start selling prints, but it can easily stand on its own as a basic portfolio site.

Honorable mentions: Beaumont(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Flatiron(opens in a new tab) (7.0), Matsuya(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Minetta(opens in a new tab) (7.1), and Pazari(opens in a new tab) (7.1). Check out our dedicated guide to Squarespace templates for artists to learn more.

  • Squarespace version: 7.1

Novo(opens in a new tab) is a newer, bolder black-and-white template that's well-suited for a graphic or product design portfolio. This one also puts your work front and center in a grid on the home page — we like that there's a hover-over effect for each title — then whisks users away to project-specific pages with brief descriptions and full-bleed banner images. Modern icons for your Dribbble, Vimeo, and Instagram accounts are already in the top and bottom navigation bars, so you just need to add your links.

Honorable mentions: Cami(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Kester(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Utica(opens in a new tab) (7.1), and York(opens in a new tab) (7.0).

Best for video

Specs
  • Squarespace version: 7.0

Lange(opens in a new tab) is another older template that's stood the test of time thanks to its show-stopping homepage, which makes it easy to weave a compelling narrative into your portfolio. Visitors to your site are welcomed with full-bleed banner images that you can swap for GIFs or clips, which link off to individual pages that dive deeper into each project; hover-over and fade-in animation effects keep things interesting as you scroll. A simple one-column blog and a basic contact page are both found in the top navigation menu.

Honorable mentions: Lexington(opens in a new tab) (7.1) and Otroquest(opens in a new tab) (7.1). Check out our dedicated guide to Squarespace templates for video to learn more.

  • Squarespace version: 7.1

Growwell(opens in a new tab) is a bright, cheery template that's capable of handling a lot of text and visuals without looking cluttered. It also comes with a special twist: It's pre-enabled with Squarespace's premium Member Areas(opens in a new tab) feature, which lets you create gated content on your site — think virtual classes, workshops, newsletters, vlogs, and 1:1s. (It can be free to sign up with an email address or locked behind a membership fee; your call). This makes it ridiculously easy to monetize your content and expertise while building a community.

Honorable mentions: Meriden(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Myhra(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Passero(opens in a new tab) (7.1), and Ready(opens in a new tab) (7.0).

  • Squarespace version: 7.1

With groovy gradients and matching sunburst accents, Squarespace's Sundew(opens in a new tab) template is on point with recent '70s-inspired design trends. Its demo site eagerly awaits your podcast: There's a spot for your freshest episode right at the top, followed by a banner with your tagline, a grid of recent episodes, a prompt to sign up for your newsletter or email list, and a blurb about the host(s) that directs to a more in-depth bio page. Each individual episode page gets its own audio block so listeners can tune in without having to leave the site, though links to your Spotify, Stitcher, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts pages have been scattered throughout in case they prefer a different platform.

Honorable mentions: Paloma(opens in a new tab) (7.1).

Looking for a template that translates website visitors into in-person clients? Colima(opens in a new tab)'s where it's at, with pages for your services, team, location, and blog, and lots of calls to action (i.e., chances for conversion). As the cherry on top, it comes pre-enabled with an Acuity Scheduling block, which makes it extremely easy to book and manage appointments — clients can quickly see your availability, pay online, and even reschedule, while you're able to automate reminders and create intake forms (among other bookkeeping tasks) in the back end.

Honorable mentions: Clove(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Clune(opens in a new tab) (7.1), and Emmeline(opens in a new tab) (7.1).

Best for restaurants

  • Squarespace version: 7.1

Another template that would make a great one-pager, Atlantic(opens in a new tab) is ready to go for a restaurant: It kicks off with an "about" section featuring all of your most important info (location, hours, etc.), followed by a rotating image gallery and pre-formatted sections for two different menus. You'll also find a "reservations" page with an OpenTable block; bonus points for the Yelp icon in the social widget, too. The color scheme keeps things simple with black text on a white background so as not to distract from the mouth-watering pictures of your plates.

Honorable mentions: Blend(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Chotto(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Hill(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Juniper(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Palmer(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Pine(opens in a new tab) (7.1), and Vance(opens in a new tab) (7.1).

  • Squarespace version: 7.1

Clarkson(opens in a new tab) is a clean and minimalist template with a soothing neutral color palette and full-bleed banner images. (That sans-serif typeface Squarespace chose for the demo version is also really nice — it's super easy to read on mobile.) It would realistically make a great online store or business website, though it's already formatted for a nonprofit or community organization with "donate" and "volunteer" prompts, a grid-style blog for all of your initiatives, and all relevant socials. All it really needs is your branding.

Honorable mentions: Bailard(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Lusaka(opens in a new tab) (7.1), and Malone(opens in a new tab) (7.1).

Best for events

Specs
  • Squarespace version: 7.1

"Minimalist, but make it bold" is probably how we'd describe Carmine(opens in a new tab), an eye-catching template for big events with a two-color scheme and in-your-face typography. Pages for your speakers/performers, lineup/schedule, and blog/news releases are already set up — plus, the tickets section gives you the option of selling several different packages. This one doesn't rely too heavily on visuals, but the images that are there get a really neat reverse-split animation effect as you scroll.

Honorable mentions: Harbor(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Ocotillo(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Roseti(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Singularity(opens in a new tab) (7.1), and Sonora(opens in a new tab) (7.0).

  • Squarespace version: 7.1

If you're not a fan of those cookie-cutter wedding websites on The Knot, Minted, and Zola, Squarespace's Soria(opens in a new tab) template makes it possible to build one from scratch in no time. It features a top navigation menu (with your story, travel details, registry info, and an RSVP button) that stays with you on the page as you scroll — that way, all of your technologically challenged relatives will have an easy time finding their way around. It's also quite photo-heavy so you can show off all of the highlights from your engagement shoot.

Honorable mentions: Bleecker(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Dario(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Julia(opens in a new tab) (7.0), Rey(opens in a new tab) (7.1), and Malcolm(opens in a new tab) (7.1).

  • Squarespace version: 7.1

Got something new in the works? It doesn't need to be a full-on, fleshed-out website yet — just make a pre-launch landing page (also known as a coming soon page) with the help of a template like Zorayda(opens in a new tab) to stake its claim on the web. Featuring a light background and some simple sans-serif typefaces, the demo version has spots for all of your must-know info, a standalone image, and a newsletter/email block where visitors can sign up for updates. It's worth noting that this one's a version 7.1 template, which means you can easily switch themes down the road without losing any of your content.

Honorable mentions: Randi(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Sellwood(opens in a new tab) (7.1), Tantillo(opens in a new tab) (7.1), and Toledo(opens in a new tab) (7.1).

Best for parallax scrolling

Specs
  • Squarespace version: 7.0

We have to give a shout-out to good ol' Brine(opens in a new tab), the parent template of the eponymous family(opens in a new tab) from Squarespace version 7.0: It remains a fan favorite to this day for its use of parallax scrolling(opens in a new tab), a special visual effect on full-bleed banner images that creates an illusion of depth. (As we mentioned earlier, this feature isn't available in version 7.1.) The demo site comes prepped for an online store, but you've got the option to add a blog, an events page, galleries, and much more.

Note: If you like Brine but don't want to be stuck with version 7.0, give Hester(opens in a new tab) a shot — it's Brine's 7.1 equivalent (again, minus the parallax).

Honorable mentions: Literally anything else in the Brine family(opens in a new tab) (7.0).

How we tested

I sifted through Squarespace's entire template library (across versions 7.0 and 7.1) and looked for demos with eye-catching layouts, mobile-friendly style options, user-friendly navigation, and a relevant roster of preset features. I didn't build a live, full-fledged site with every single template featured here, but I'm confident in my picks based on my personal and professional experience making websites with Squarespace, as well as my background in art. I acknowledge that many aspects of design are subjective, so each recommended template is accompanied by at least one "honorable mention" with similar functionality but different aesthetics.

Frequently Asked Questions


After fast and easy site design, the best thing about Squarespace is its all-in-one approach: Your subscription plan(opens in a new tab) includes 24/7 customer support, website metrics, SEO tools, SSL security, unlimited bandwidth, and video storage, all for as low as $16 a month. Squarespace also throws in fully managed cloud hosting at no extra cost, along with a year's worth of a new custom domain if you sign up for an annual membership — no need to set anything else up with another provider or platform.


A Squarespace template (or theme) is a pre-designed, ready-to-use demo website that you can customize with different color schemes, font packs, layouts, pages, and drag-and-drop element blocks such as text, images, galleries, buttons, and forms. Squarespace describes them as "a starting point to help inspire your site's design," noting that "[you] can keep the structure of your original design intact by replacing the demo content with your own, or you can completely change the design of your site and start from scratch." You can do as much or as little customizing as you'd like; your site will look polished either way.

Each template has been built exclusively for Squarespace, which means you won’t find them on WordPress, Wix, or other site-building platforms.


All Squarespace templates are mobile-optimized from the jump, which is awesome for two reasons: Mobile-friendly sites look great on all devices and get higher priority from Google when it comes to indexing and SEO rankings.

Templates from Squarespace version 7.0 have separate mobile styles that activate on smaller devices, while their version 7.1 counterparts adapt to mobile view automatically. (More on those below.) Check out Squarespace's tips for keeping your site mobile-friendly(opens in a new tab) before you build it out.


Launched in 2014, Squarespace version 7.0 categorizes its 91 templates(opens in a new tab) into certain template "families," which are groups of similarly coded templates alike in their basic structure and functionality. Each one has its specific rules and style options(opens in a new tab), so you may need to swap templates (and risk losing content) to access certain functionality. For example, infinite scroll(opens in a new tab) is exclusive to the Farro(opens in a new tab) and Skye(opens in a new tab) template families, while only Wells(opens in a new tab) and Five(opens in a new tab) allow sidebars(opens in a new tab) on all of their pages, not just blogs.

Squarespace scrapped those hard-and-fast classifications with the release of version 7.1 in early 2020. All of its 140-plus templates(opens in a new tab) now belong to the same family with the same underlying structure and design options, which makes it easier to change site styles in seconds.

While neither version of Squarespace is conclusively "better" than the other, version 7.1 is more ideal for people who are new to the platform since it aggressively streamlines the design process, especially since the July 2022 rollout of Fluid Engine(opens in a new tab). That's Squarespace's next-gen content editor for 7.1 sites, which utilizes a grid system and additional block placement options for improved layout flexibility(opens in a new tab) (particularly on mobile(opens in a new tab)).

Users who have built a Squarespace site before may still have good reason to stick with version 7.0 since its templates have some advanced style options that haven't been added to the new ones yet. (See: parallax scrolling, one especially popular feature of the beloved Brine template family that's missing from version 7.1; people were pretty salty about that one.)

One caveat: Switching between versions 7.0 and 7.1 requires a full rebuild and can mess with your site's search ranking, so choose wisely. On the bright side, Squarespace offers a free 14-day trial so you can noodle around with both before you commit.


Structural and formatting differences aside, all Squarespace templates between both versions of the platform support the same suite of features — including several newer tools introduced in the most recent Squarespace Refresh(opens in a new tab), its annual product update. Highlights include:

It's worth mentioning that Squarespace also maintains three mobile apps that are free with any subscription or trial. They work with both versions of the site, too:


To get started with a new site, head over to the Templates tab on Squarespace's website and filter its library by Type and Topic to narrow down your pool of candidates. You can hit "Preview" on any theme that catches your eye to see what it would look like in the wild.

Squarespace suggests choosing a template based on your favorite colors and layouts rather than the demo content you see there, though you might find it easier to pick one that already looks close-ish to your end vision. For example, a template with a grid of products on its homepage (like Maca) can become your online store in a matter of clicks, whereas a template designed around event RSVPs (like Carmine) will take more noodling for ecommerce purposes.

If you're having trouble settling on one, know this: It's basically impossible to make an ugly Squarespace site, and with enough time and experimentation, you can tweak almost any template to fit your exact vision and needs. But just in case you need a nudge in a certain direction, go with one of our recommended picks.
