Budget friendlyInstead of spending thousands of dollars hiring a web designer to create a custom site for you, you’re getting a professionally designed site for less than $300.
Easy Drag & Drop EditorBuilt with Squarespace 7.1, this template is easy to customize using the intuitive drag-and-drop editor, which also means you’ll be able to easily update website content in the future without having to hire a web developer.

Need it installed on your existing website?
Getting the template as a brand new website with a full 6 month free trial is usually the best way to go, but if you just paid for an annual membership for your existing website, you might want to have the template installed there instead (since there’s no way to move an existing Squarespace subscription plan from one website to another).
-
How does it work?
You can purchase the Add-On by clicking the Add to Cart button below. After purchase, an email will be sent to you with instructions on next steps – I’ll need you to give me admin access to your existing website. The template pages will be added to the “Not Linked” section of your website. All of your existing pages will be left as is.
The additional fee covers the extra time it takes to copy over each of the individual pages to your website, as well as update all of the site styles to match the template (colors, fonts, button styles, etc).
Will my existing Site Styles be affected?
That’s up to you! In the email that’s sent after your purchase, I’ll ask you to let me know whether you want me to replace all of your existing site styles (colors, fonts, button styles, etc.) with the styles from the template.
The template also includes custom CSS code, which will also be installed on top of any existing custom code on your website. This service does not include fixing any issues this causes with your existing site pages.
Recommended Preparation
As you can imagine, installing the template (including custom CSS code and Site Styles) into your existing site will definitely alter the design of your existing website. I recommend putting up an “Under Construction” page before I go in and start editing.
Again, it is recommended that you get the template as a brand new website if possible because that is generally the cleaner option – but if you really need it installed on your existing website go ahead and add this add-on to your cart!

In the meantime I will be preparing your template. Within 2 business days of purchase, you’ll receive an invitation link to access your new website template. The template will be added to your Squarespace account as a brand new website. You’ll get a 6 month free trial with the template, giving you plenty of time to work on customizing it before you have to upgrade to a Squarespace subscription.
The template can be fully customized and changed using the drag-and-drop Squarespace editor. Once you are finished customizing the site and you’re ready to launch, you can upgrade to a Squarespace plan in order to make your website public.

Customizing the template is not included with the purchase of the template.
You can, however, hire me to help you customize the website. You would need to provide all the content as well as advise on any color or font changes, and I would fill out the pages for you. The cost would start at $1800, which includes the cost of the template. I’d be happy to hop on a call with you to discuss this, just send me a message.

In most cases it would be better to get the template as a brand new website that you can start fresh with. However it can be installed on an existing website (provided it is a Squarespace 7.1 website) for an additional fee to cover the extra time required. You can learn more about this by clicking “Learn More” in the section above.
-
No, the domain and the website hosting plan are separate costs that you’ll pay each year. This goes for any website on any platform – you will always need to pay for a domain and hosting plan.
Annual Squarespace billing plans usually include one free domain for the first year of service. After the first year, the domain will renew at the standard rate, which depends on the domain itself but is usually around $20 per year.
You can view the current pricing for Squarespace annual plans here. With the purchase of this template you’ll also get a 20% discount on the first year of an annual plan.
-
Due to the digital nature of the product, the template is non-refundable. Please make sure you have read all the product details before purchasing, and if you have any additional questions please reach out!
-
Yes you can use the template for a single client’s website. However if you wish to use it on more than one website, you will need to purchase additional copies of the template. The template purchase provides you with a single-use license that is only valid for one website.
You may not resell, redistribute, share, or transfer this template (or any included bonus materials or tutorials) to anyone else, or claim any part of this template (design, layout, or graphics) as your own creation.

Ready to finally have a website you’re excited to send people to?
Your website is a reflection of your business – in order to be taken seriously by your customers, your website needs to feel polished and professional. If hiring a web designer isn’t in your budget, this template is a great way to still get a professionally-designed website for a fraction of the cost.
