Free Squarespace Templates

Every template in this collection is free. Most are official Squarespace designs, included with any Squarespace subscription, catalogued here so you can browse them alongside the wider template market. A handful come from independent designers who release free starter designs. Free templates are general starting points: you get the layout, and the photography, copy and page structure decisions stay with you. If your project needs industry-specific pages or a more distinctive design, premium Squarespace templates from independent designers are where the real range is. Our guide to the best free Squarespace templates explains when free is enough and when paying for a template saves you days. We run SquareLocator alongside a Squarespace Platinum Partner agency, so the advice here comes from real client builds rather than guesswork.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Squarespace templates free?

All of Squarespace's official templates are free with any subscription, and this collection catalogues them alongside free starter designs from independent designers. Premium templates from independent designers are a separate, paid market.

What is the catch with free Squarespace templates?

There is no catch, but there are limits. Free templates are general starting points rather than industry-specific builds, so the photography, copy and page structure are up to you. Our guide to the best free Squarespace templates covers when free is enough.

Do free templates work on Squarespace 7.1?

Yes. The current official template library is built on Squarespace 7.1, and any version notes appear on the individual listing.

Can I change my Squarespace template later?

On Squarespace 7.1 every template shares the same underlying system, so switching is really a restyle of fonts, colours and sections rather than a one-click swap. It saves time to pick a design close to your intended final look.

When is a premium template worth paying for?

When you need industry-specific pages, a distinctive design, or a faster route to launch. Premium templates from independent designers arrive with structure and styling already decided, which can save days of setup compared with adapting a free design.
