01 — Choosing a Template

First, you'll browse through our collection of templates. These templates are professionally designed and cover different industries and website types. Once you find a template that fits your needs and style preferences, you can preview the demo to see how it looks and functions.

02 — Purchasing the Template

After selecting a template, you'll need to purchase it. Make sure to give the email that you will use to sign up for your Squarespace account. Once your order is processed, within 48 hrs you will be added as an admin on a copy of the template site, with a 6-month trial.

03 — Transferring Ownership

Once you’re an admin, you will receive an email from Squarespace to accept ownership of the site. Once you accept ownership, the site will be fully transferred to you.

04 — Customize Your Website

Using Squarespace's editor, you can customize the template to make it unique to your brand and business. You can easily change colors, fonts, images, and layouts using Squarespace's intuitive drag-and-drop function. You can also add pages, navigation menus, and other elements to tailor the website to your specific needs.
