I wanted to create an accessible option for small businesses and freelancers that don’t have the budget for a website yet. The Starter template is a simple, clean base that’s perfect to launch your first site with. Plus, as a circle member, I may earn a referral fee from Squarespace if you decide to purchase a subscription.

That said, if you want to get me a latte as a thank you, you can do so here!

Squarespace is my go-to recommendation for Service based businesses because it

Squarespace is also great for small shops or for selling digital products… but if you’re looking for an advanced ecommerce solution with lots of features, then I would recommend checking out Shopify as it’s the leader for product based business.

If you’re a purely product based business owner looking for a more robust ecommerce solution, check out my Shopify development and design services here →

You can find out Squarespace’s pricing here, but don’t forget you also get 20% off your first year annual subscription if you’re new to Squarespace.

Not at all. While the templates contain custom code so that you can have some cool extra features that wouldn’t be possible on a standard Squarespace site, you don’t have to know any code to update these templates.

You can take advantage of all of the standard Squarespace ecommerce, blogging and scheduling tools.

To be honest… no. There are a lot of factors into applying a custom design to an existing website. A more cost-effective alternative to paying to build a template from scratch on your website is to purchase the template close to when your current subscription is going to end.

Also, the templates have a 6 month trial, so you can get your new website launch ready while you’re waiting for your current website subscription to end.

You get a 6 month trial before your website expires, but you will need to purchase your Squarespace subscription in order to publish your site.

Yes, it’s super easy. The templates can be updated in the exact same way as a regular Squarespace website. Simply watch the video trainings and use the editor to add your brand's personality by updating the images, colours, fonts and text.

Absolutely! You can duplicate the existing pages or the master template page to use as a time-saving, starting point for your new page or you can create your own from scratch.

You’ll need to purchase a plan Squarespace subscription when you’re ready to launch your website. You’ll also need a domain, but luckily, Squarespace offers this for free with your first year of Squarespace or you can connect your domain from another provider (such as GoDaddy).

This website comes with a one-seat licence, meaning that it can only be used once for a personal or commercial project. If you would like to duplicate the website for another business or project, you will have to purchase another copy of the template.

You are not allowed to resell this template or claim it as your own. If you are a designer, you can purchase a licence and customise it for your client, however it must be made clear to the client that you have purchased the template from Finding Design.
