How to Use Squarespace Saved Sections with SquareKicker Customizations
Save Time and Scale Your Design Workflow with Reusable Custom Sections
Building custom Squarespace websites can be time-consuming, especially when you find yourself recreating the same beautiful designs over and over. What if you could design a section once—complete with all your SquareKicker customizations like sticky blocks, scroll effects, and color adjustments—and instantly reuse it across multiple pages or even different websites?
With SquareKicker's integration with Squarespace saved sections, you can do exactly that. This powerful workflow feature lets you build a library of custom-designed sections and deploy them in seconds, transforming how quickly you create professional websites.
What Are Squarespace Saved Sections?
Squarespace saved sections allow you to save any section from your site and reuse it elsewhere. Think of them as templates for individual sections rather than entire pages. You can save hero sections, testimonial grids, call-to-action blocks, or any custom layout you've created.
For Squarespace Circle members, this feature becomes even more powerful. You can save up to 250 sections to your account catalog and use them on any Squarespace 7.1 site where you have editing permissions. This means you can build a personal library of go-to designs that work across all your client projects.
How SquareKicker Customizations Transfer with Saved Sections
Here's where SquareKicker takes this feature to the next level. When you save a section that includes SquareKicker customizations, those customizations automatically travel with the section. Your sticky blocks, hover effects, color adjustments, animations, and design presets all remain intact when you reuse the section.
This means you can create sophisticated, animated sections once and deploy them across your sites without rebuilding your customizations from scratch. Your workflow becomes exponentially faster while maintaining the same high-quality, custom designs your clients expect.
How to Save Sections with SquareKicker Customizations
Saving sections with your SquareKicker edits is straightforward. You have two options depending on whether you want to save the section just for your current site or across your entire Squarespace account.
Saving to Your Current Site
Use this method when you want to reuse sections on different pages within the same website:
Click Edit on any page
Hover over the section you want to save
Click the heart icon that appears
Select This site
Your section is now saved and ready to use on any page within that website.
Saving to Your Account (Circle Members Only)
Squarespace Circle members can save sections to use across any site in their account:
Click Edit on any page
Hover over the section you want to save
Click the heart icon
Select Your account
Enter a descriptive name for your section
Click Save
This section is now available in your account library and can be used on any Squarespace 7.1 site where you have editing permissions.
How to Use Your Saved Sections
Adding your saved sections to new pages is quick and easy. The section will inherit your current site's fonts and colors while preserving all SquareKicker customizations.
To add a saved section:
Click Edit on any page
Click Add Section where you want to place your saved section
Select Saved Sections from the menu
Choose the section you want to add from either This site or Your account
The section instantly appears on your page with all SquareKicker customizations intact. You can then update the content—like text and images—while keeping the custom design structure you've built.
Understanding How Site Styles Inherit
When you use a saved section on a different website, something clever happens. The section preserves all your SquareKicker customizations (animations, spacing, effects) but adopts the new site's fonts and colors. This ensures your saved section looks cohesive with the rest of the site while maintaining its custom functionality.
Subscription Requirements for Saved Sections
To use saved sections with SquareKicker customizations, you need an active subscription. The specific requirements depend on how you're using the feature.
For Saving Sections
You can save sections with SquareKicker customizations on any active subscription, including:
Free Trial
Solo or 30 Day Solo
Designer
Agency
Deprecated plans (Basic or Pro)
For Using Saved Sections
Within the same website: Any active personal plan works, including Free Trial, Solo, 30 Day Solo, Designer, and Agency plans.
Across different websites: To use saved sections with SquareKicker customizations across different sites, you need both:
Squarespace Circle membership to save sections to your account
SquareKicker Professional Plan (Designer or Agency) to preserve customizations across sites
If you try to use a saved section across sites without a Professional plan, you'll receive a notification that "SquareKicker customizations were not applied." The section will still be added, but without the SquareKicker edits. You can upgrade at any time to include those customizations.
Strategic Ways to Use Saved Sections
This feature opens up numerous possibilities for streamlining your design workflow:
Build a Design System: Create a library of branded sections—hero blocks, testimonial grids, pricing tables—that you can deploy consistently across client projects.
Speed Up Client Websites: Design complex animated sections once, then reuse them across multiple pages or client sites, dramatically reducing build time.
Test Designs Quickly: Experiment with different layouts and effects, save your favorites, and try them on various pages to see what works best.
Maintain Consistency: Ensure brand consistency across large websites by using the same custom-designed sections throughout.
Create Industry-Specific Templates: If you specialize in certain industries, build a collection of saved sections tailored to those markets.
Important Limitations to Know
While saved sections with SquareKicker customizations are powerful, there are a few limitations to keep in mind:
Active Subscription Required: You need an active SquareKicker subscription to preserve customizations when using saved sections, regardless of your plan level.
Template Sections: You cannot save SquareKicker Template sections to use across your account. If you try, the SquareKicker customizations won't be reproduced. However, you can use template sections within the same website.
Standard Squarespace Limitations: All normal Squarespace saved section rules still apply:
Maximum of 50 saved sections per site (or 250 for Circle members across your account)
Saved sections aren't linked to originals—changes won't update saved versions
Some settings like form storage connections won't carry over
Collection page sections cannot be saved
