How To Customize Squarespace To Look Less Template-like

A developer can be a valuable resource when it comes to making a Squarespace site less template-like and more custom. Here are some ways a developer can help.

Customizing code

A developer can help you customize the code of your Squarespace site, allowing you to add unique features, functionality, and designs that aren’t available in the default Squarespace templates. This can include creating custom templates, adding custom CSS, and integrating third-party tools and services.

Integrating third-party tools

If you need to integrate your Squarespace site with other tools or services, such as a CRM or payment gateway, a developer can help you do so. They can also help you create custom forms, pop-ups, and other elements that integrate with your other tools.

For years I put Squarespace in the same category as Wix with its obvious “this is site is made on Squarespace” when you see it. But CSS capabilities have picked up to help make the site look more unique for clients.

Optimizing performance

A developer can help you optimize the performance of your Squarespace site, ensuring that it loads quickly and smoothly for your visitors. This can include optimizing images, reducing page load times, and improving overall site speed.

Troubleshooting issues

If you encounter any issues with your Squarespace site, a developer can help you troubleshoot and resolve them. This can include fixing bugs, resolving compatibility issues, and resolving issues with third-party integrations.

Providing guidance and support

A developer can provide guidance and support throughout the development process, helping you make informed decisions about your site’s design, functionality, and features. They can also provide ongoing support and maintenance to ensure that your site remains up-to-date and secure.

Overall, a developer can help you take your Squarespace site to the next level by providing customizations, integrations, optimizations, and support that go beyond the capabilities of the default Squarespace templates.
