SQSPThemes has been part of the Squarespace ecosystem since 2015. This directory is built to help you find templates from across the wider Squarespace design community, not just one shop.
Start with the kind of site you’re building.
The best Squarespace template is usually the one closest to your actual business model. A photographer, coach, restaurant, course creator, and service provider need different page structures, calls to action, and ways of building trust.
Service Businesses
Templates built around offers, proof, testimonials, and a clear path to inquiry.
Coaches & Consultants
Layouts for personal authority, clear positioning, lead magnets, and booking calls.

Image-forward designs with galleries, packages, testimonials, and inquiry flows.
Online Shops
Templates for product collections, featured items, brand storytelling, and checkout paths.
Portfolios
Clean layouts for showcasing work, case studies, creative projects, and professional experience.

How to choose the best Squarespace template.
A good template should shorten the distance between the business you have and the website you need. Design matters, but structure matters more. Look for a template that already understands your content, your customer, and the action you want visitors to take.
For service businesses
Choose a template with a strong homepage, clear service sections, testimonials, FAQs, and a direct inquiry path. The visitor should understand what you do within a few seconds.
For coaches and consultants
Prioritize templates that help you explain your point of view. Strong about sections, lead magnet areas, case studies, and booking links matter more than decorative layouts.
For photographers and creatives
Look for image-forward layouts that still make it easy to inquire. Beautiful galleries are useful only when they help the right client take the next step.
For ecommerce
Pick a template that makes product discovery simple. Collections, product pages, featured items, and brand storytelling should all work together.
For portfolios
The best portfolio templates give your work room to breathe while making your role, process, and next step easy to understand.
For fast launches
A one-page template can be the right choice when you need a focused site for an offer, event, waitlist, or early version of a business.
After years in the Squarespace ecosystem, I don’t think the best template is always the prettiest one. The best template is the one that helps the right person understand what you do, trust what they see, and take the next step without confusion.

Questions about Squarespace templates.
What is the best Squarespace template?
The best Squarespace template depends on the type of website you’re building. A service business usually needs strong messaging, testimonials, and inquiry sections. A photographer needs galleries and portfolio layouts. An ecommerce site needs clean product discovery and simple shopping paths.
Are third-party Squarespace templates worth it?
Third-party Squarespace templates can be worth it when they save you design time, give you a stronger starting point, and include page layouts that match your business. They are especially useful when the template already fits your niche or website goal.
Can I use custom templates with Squarespace?
Yes. Many independent designers sell Squarespace templates that are installed or recreated inside your Squarespace account. The exact process depends on the template shop, so always review the installation instructions before buying.
Are Squarespace templates good for SEO?
Squarespace templates can support good SEO when the site has clear page structure, strong content, fast-loading images, descriptive headings, and helpful internal links. The template matters, but the way you build and organize the site matters more.
What is the difference between Squarespace templates and Squarespace themes?
People often use the words templates and themes interchangeably. In Squarespace, templates usually refer to pre-designed site layouts or starter designs that help shape the look, structure, and page flow of a website.
Can I switch templates in Squarespace?
In Squarespace 7.1, all sites use the same underlying template family, so changing the design is usually more about updating styles, layouts, and sections than switching to a completely different template family.
