As a starting point for your website, explore Squarespace templates to find a design that aligns with your vision. While all templates offer identical customization options for fonts, colors, and styles, choosing the right foundation streamlines the design process.

Browse the template shop to preview demo websites with sample layouts. These demos serve as inspiration rather than rigid structures.

The Partnership Series features templates co-designed by notable creators including:

  • Björk
  • Magnum photographers (Olivia Arthur, Jacob Aue Sobol, Sabiha Çimen, Bruce Gilden, William Keo, Steve McCurry)
  • Rick Rubin
  • Jeff Koons

Focus on layouts rather than demo content when selecting a template. Preview different color presets to visualize your potential design. While templates are fully customizable, starting with one that closely matches your vision saves time.

Customize your chosen template by:

  • Adding new pages with pre-built layouts
  • Modifying colors, fonts, and global styles
  • Incorporating new sections with custom backgrounds
  • Applying section-specific style overrides
  • Creating custom layouts for blogs and products using summary blocks

For a more guided approach, use the Squarespace Design Kit with AI to create a custom template by selecting:

  • Website title
  • Brand personality
  • Homepage layout
  • Required sections and pages
  • Color palette and typography
  • AI-generated images from curated library
  • AI-generated descriptive text (optional)

This AI-powered tool is particularly useful when you have a clear vision for your website's appearance and functionality. You can modify any aspect of your design at any time to achieve your desired look.

Remember that all templates provide access to the same features and style options, so focus on finding a design that resonates with your brand's aesthetic and functional needs.
