In the Template Store you’ll find templates for every industry from photography to wellness. Each template has been made with intention by an expert website designer in the Squarespace community. In this blog, we’ll walk you through the Template Store, introduce you to the talented designers, and highlight key features you won’t want to miss. Let’s dive in to see how easy it is to launch your website with a premium Squarespace template.
Templates crafted by professional Squarespace designers
Building and launching a website can feel overwhelming, with big decisions at every turn. Should you hire a web developer or take the DIY route? The right choice depends on your budget, time constraints, business size, and technical skills. A premium template strikes the perfect balance. SquareKicker Templates are crafted by expert web designers with years of experience. They understand what makes a website functional, engaging, and optimized for converting visitors into customers—and this expertise is embedded in every template.
Each designer is carefully selected and onboarded into our one-of-a-kind template system, ensuring templates of a high design standard. Best of all, you get professional design without the cost of a developer or the time investment of starting from scratch. With just a few clicks, your template is ready to install on your Squarespace site.
Each template on the Store lists the name of its Creator with a link through to a full Creator Bio so you can get to know the designers - and explore all of their templates with ease.
Choosing the right template is a breeze with industry categories
When browsing the SquareKicker Template Store, you can easily filter your search by industry categories to find the perfect template for your business or brand. SquareKicker Templates are fully customizable, giving you the freedom to get creative in the Squarespace editor. But if time is precious and you want to launch quickly, you can select a template tailored to your business from the start, minimizing the need for additional customization.
Each template is designed with a specific industry or niche in mind, so the style, animations, elements, and functionality align with your needs. For instance, if you run a service-based business, your template will include sections for service descriptions, testimonials, pricing details, calls to action, and possibly a booking form. If you need a website for your personal brand, CV, or portfolio, your template will include striking visuals showcased in a portfolio, gallery, or hero images, as well as a bio page, booking or contact form, and a press kit or page.
Your industry will also guide the scope of your site—whether you need a stylish one-page website or a multi-page site filled with content and resources. Our pricing tiers reflect this, so you can also sort templates by size and budget.
Easy-to-use pre-built pages and sections
Each template comes with designer pages and sections for you to build your website. Use the pre-built page layouts for a lightning fast build or create custom pages in just a few clicks with pre-built sections that beautifully coordinate with other sections and pages. From the header to the footer and all elements in between, each part of the website has been carefully thought through so you can just swap out copy, images, and branding for an effortless, polished website.
SquareKicker animation and design features make these templates unique
Using SquareKicker, a pro tool Extension for Squarespace, the designers had access to over 80 different design and animation tools that you won’t find in a free Squarespace template. These design features make the templates unique, with captivating elements that will encourage your visitors to stay on your site and continue scrolling. Look for fun hover effects, dramatic horizontal scrolling sections, sticky sections, quirky mouse cursors, bold desktop overlay menus, a stylish footer reveal, and more.
If you’re design savvy, you can jump into the same Extension after you’ve installed the template, to try out the tools and create some exciting, custom design features. The SquareKicker Extension is a simple way to take your website to the next level.
The SquareKicker UI
Mobile friendly responsive design
With many visitors accessing websites on mobile phones or other small devices, it’s essential that your content is optimized for all screen sizes. This ensures your site stays easy to navigate, and your content always looks great, seamlessly adjusting to different screen parameters. We love Squarespace for its built-in optimization, so right out of the box, your website delivers a smooth user experience. SquareKicker takes it further. Your template is tailored for desktop, laptop, tablet, and mobile. Designers can even customize individual pages and sections for each device size using the SquareKicker visibility feature. This allows every element of your template to be fine-tuned for the ultimate browsing experience on any screen. Your website will shine with responsive customizations, no matter the device.
Customize your SquareKicker Template with ease
Squarespace is a visual drag-and-drop website editor that’s simple for beginners - anyone can learn how to use it quickly. Easily apply brand elements like colors and fonts across your site with Squarespace site styles. When you install your template, the template’s style settings will be applied, and you can quickly adjust these to reflect your own brand. Your template will come with a handy guide to help you choose and apply the perfect color palette for your brand.
Three ways to build your website quickly:
Use the pre-built page layouts provided, and simply swap out your content and branding.
Create custom pages using the pre-built section layouts provided. Use these in combination with the pre-built page layouts.
Continue to use existing pages on your website and add extra pages using those included in your template.
Your template also comes with a 30-day Pro subscription for the SquareKicker Extension, perfect for diving into more creative customizations.

Instant access to create your website immediately
When we set out to develop SquareKicker Templates, we were motivated to create a system with minimal friction. We aimed to provide the most straightforward way for customers to install a template immediately. We understand you don’t have time to waste waiting for your template, whether you're a life coach in New York needing a website for an upcoming seminar, a makeup artist in London facing a last-minute portfolio request, or a music producer in San Francisco promoting a new track release, our Template Store delivers immediate solutions tailored specifically for you.
Traditionally, template installation involved email handovers, navigating different time zones, and sometimes waiting days for access. The Template Store eliminates these hurdles for both template users and designers. All templates in the Store are ready for use, and it’s incredibly easy to install them on your existing Squarespace website or a new one, allowing you to start customizing right away.
Dedicated customer support at your fingertips
Your template will come with a number of guides to get you up to speed with building your website quickly. SquareKicker also has a team of passionate humans ready to help you succeed on your template journey. Please reach out with your questions - whether it’s about purchase and install, adding pages and sections, customizing your content, or something else. We don’t use chatbot software at SK, as we think a personal approach is always more efficient and helpful. We look forward to supporting you as you get your website launch ready!
