The Squarespace 7.1 Sections Library Designers Have Been Begging For

If you’ve been building on Squarespace 7.1 for any amount of time, you’ve probably felt it:

You click Add Section, scroll through the defaults…
…and instantly hit a wall.

The layouts feel dated.
The spacing feels off.
Everything looks like a wireframe instead of a finished design.

If you’re a designer, you’ve probably asked yourself at least once:

“Why are the Squarespace 7.1 sections so… ugly?”

You’re not alone.
This exact complaint pops up constantly across Reddit, Facebook groups, and Slack communities:

  • “Every site starts from a blank section.”

  • “The default sections look amateurish.”

  • “Templates are stale and all look the same.”

  • “I delete everything and rebuild from scratch.”

  • “Why doesn’t Squarespace update their designs?”

Squarespace 7.1 is a fantastic platform… but its section library hasn’t kept up with what modern businesses expect.

And that gap forces designers to reinvent the wheel on every project.

The Real Problem: Designers Don’t Need More Templates — They Need Better Sections

Everything about a website — layout, hierarchy, rhythm, conversion flow — comes from the sections. When those are limited, repetitive, or visually outdated, the entire build suffers.

As a designer, you need sections that:

  • look modern

  • have clean spacing

  • handle real content

  • create visual storytelling

  • support brand strategy

  • convert visitors

  • feel professional out of the box

Instead, you get:

  • giant icons

  • awkward margins

  • generic blocks

  • dated patterns

  • minimal variety

  • repetitive designs

  • layouts that all look the same

So what do designers do?

They rebuild everything by hand. Every. Single. Project.

And a 2-week build becomes 4–6 weeks because the fundamental components aren’t pulling their weight.

Designers aren’t looking for another “starter template.” They’re looking for a massive collection of professionally designed sections they can plug into any client site in seconds.
