Collection: Squarespace Layout & Section Plugins

Background images and videos on Squarespace page sections carry a frustrating limitation: there is nowhere to say what they are. No photographer credit, no location, no context, which matters legally when image licences require attribution and editorially when the image deserves explanation. Will Myers' Background Image Captions fixes it, displaying captions on your section background images and videos with a range of styles to choose from, so the caption sits in the design rather than fighting it. Installation is copy-and-paste with a video, the plugin is automatically maintained as Squarespace changes, and it costs $25 single site or $60 multi-use covering unlimited websites and templates for sale.

Websites show every visitor the same thing every time, which is efficient and slightly dull. Will Myers' Section Randomizer breaks the pattern: it shows different section visuals on each page load, so returning visitors are greeted with something fresh rather than the exact page they saw last week. For portfolios it means a different hero project each visit; for creative studios it makes the site itself feel alive. Installation is copy-and-paste with a video, the plugin is automatically maintained as Squarespace changes, and it costs $25 for a single site or $60 multi-use covering unlimited websites and templates for sale.

Section Loader Supreme creates true global sections in Squarespace: build a section once, then load it anywhere you can drop a code or markdown block, including blog posts, product additional info areas, event pages, and portfolio pages. Edit the original in one place and every instance updates automatically.Squarespace's native Saved Sections copy a design but do not stay in sync afterwards, which is exactly the gap this fills. It is one of the most widely recommended plugins in the Squarespace community for good reason. Installation is copy and paste code with a video walkthrough, and the plugin is automatically maintained by the developer. See where it sits among the best Squarespace plugins in 2026.

Event Page Banner Image Styles brings proper banner images to Squarespace 7.1 event pages, with 4 different page layouts to choose from. Event pages are one of Squarespace's plainest templates out of the box, and this plugin gives them the same visual weight as the rest of your site, pulling each banner from the event's own image.You can run one layout across all events or customise individual pages, and everything stays mobile responsive. Installation is copy and paste code with a video walkthrough, and the plugin is automatically maintained by the developer. See where it sits among the best Squarespace plugins in 2026.

Long pages need pacing, and the background is the most underused tool for it. Will Myers' Change Background On Scroll makes your Squarespace section backgrounds transition smoothly as visitors scroll, so a long page reads as a flowing story with distinct chapters rather than a stack of disconnected blocks. It is the kind of effect that makes visitors notice a site feels crafted without being able to say why. Installation is Will's standard copy-and-paste with a video, the plugin is automatically maintained as Squarespace changes, and it costs $25 for a single site or $60 multi-use covering unlimited websites and templates for sale.

Blog Post Banner Image Styles adds proper banner images to Squarespace 7.1 blog posts, something the platform still does not offer natively. Choose from 6 different banner layouts, apply one style across your whole blog or set styles per post, and the plugin pulls each banner from the post's thumbnail image so there is no extra work per article.A genuine advantage over competing banner plugins: it works on all Squarespace plans, including Personal, because installation goes through the blog code injection area rather than site-wide code injection. It is SEO friendly, mobile responsive, and installs with copy and paste code plus a video guide. See where it sits among the best Squarespace plugins in 2026.

The Split Screen Layout Design Pack gives you a set of ready-made split screen designs for Squarespace 7.1, so you can build side by side sections with sticky behaviour and scrolling content inside one half of the section. Fluid Engine covers plain side by side blocks these days, so the value here is in the extra designs and the sticky and scroll effects Squarespace still cannot do natively.Installation is copy and paste code with a video walkthrough, and the plugin is automatically maintained by the developer. This is the single-site license. See how it compares with other layout tools in our guide to the best Squarespace plugins in 2026.

Split Layout Design For Sections turns a standard Squarespace 7.1 section into a true split screen layout, with independent content on each side and support for sticky behaviour where one side stays fixed while the other scrolls. That last part is the point: Fluid Engine handles basic side by side blocks natively now, but it cannot pin one half of a section in place or scroll long content within it. This plugin can.This listing is the multi-use license, which covers unlimited websites and templates you build for resale. Installation is copy and paste code with a video walkthrough, and the plugin is automatically maintained by the developer. See where it fits in our guide to the best Squarespace plugins in 2026.

Squarespace's Map Block shows a single pin on a default Google map. Squarespace Interactive Maps, sold by Squarewebsites as the Advanced Interactive Map Block (Unlimited Sites edition), extends that same block so it can show many locations at once, each with its own marker, details and styling that matches your site rather than Google's standard colours. Locations can be entered directly or pulled from a Gallery, Blog or Events collection, so adding a new branch later means adding a collection item rather than editing code. It works on all templates on Squarespace 7.0 and 7.1, and this licence covers any number of sites.Who it suitsMulti-location businesses, estate agents, tour operators, festival and event organisers, and especially designers who build client sites and need a map plugin they can reuse without buying a licence each time. It also pairs with Squarewebsites' Universal Filter so visitors can filter locations by tag or search by address.One honest caveatIt only works on the Map Block, and the Map Block uses Google Maps under the hood, so an address that Google cannot find will not appear on your map either. The plugin needs code injection, which means a Business plan or higher (a workaround exists for Personal plans but could stop working). The installation code is emailed after purchase rather than downloaded instantly. If you only run one site, the single-site edition does the same job.InstallationPaste the emailed installation code into footer code injection once. Your Map Block settings then gain the extra options for multiple locations, markers and styling.Related guides: see our roundup of the best Squarespace plugins in 2026 for how this compares with the alternatives, and our guide to free Squarespace plugins if you want to try the free map widgets covered there first.

Squarespace's Map Block shows one pin on a default map, and that is the end of it. If you run multiple locations, a directory, or a travel or events site, you are stuck. This plugin from Squarewebsites extends the native Map Block to show multiple locations with custom markers and custom map styling that matches your site rather than defaulting to standard Google colours. The clever part is where the locations come from: you add them to a Gallery, Blog or Events collection using each item's location tab, tick Use Collection Locations on the Map Block, and the map populates itself. Adding a new branch later means adding a collection item, not touching code.Practical notes before buying. The plugin needs sitewide code injection, which means the Business or Commerce plans (there is a Markdown block workaround for the Personal plan, but Squarewebsites are honest that it could stop working). The code arrives by email within 24 hours of purchase rather than as an instant download, because each copy is paired to your Squarespace domain. The $40 licence covers one site; designers using it across client sites should look at the unlimited version at $70. It works on both Squarespace 7.0 and 7.1, on any template.See how it compares with other options in our guide to the best Squarespace plugins.

A Squarespace blog gives readers "older" and "newer" links and not much else, which is fine for a dozen posts and painful for two hundred. Squarespace Pagination from Squarewebsites replaces that with numbered page links, so a reader can jump straight to page eight, or back to the start, without clicking through everything in between. The styling is customisable to match your site, and the controls work on mobile as well as desktop.Who it suitsEstablished blogs with a deep archive, news and magazine style sites, and any Squarespace site where the collection page has become the main way people browse. We would also consider it for a resources or tutorials section that keeps growing.One honest caveatNumbered pagination helps people move around an archive, but it does not help them find a specific post. If readers are searching for topics rather than browsing by date, a search or category filter will do more for them than page numbers.InstallationSquarewebsites plugins are supplied as code you add to your Squarespace site following their instructions, with settings for how many page links to show and how they look. Custom code normally requires a plan that allows code injection.

The Recent Comments Widget enhances audience interaction on your Squarespace site by prominently displaying the latest comments.

The reader who finishes your post is asking a silent question: what else have you got? This plugin from SQPlugins answers it automatically by injecting a Summary Block of related posts, matched from the categories and tags you already assign, with the current post sensibly excluded from its own recommendations. Matching is genuinely flexible: the default mixed mode uses both categories and tags, or you can filter by category only or tag only, and switch category matching between strict (every category must match) and loose (any shared category). No coding required, styling via the built-in style and code generator. $29 as a one-time payment for a single site, or $149 for an agency licence covering unlimited client sites.See what else made our roundup of the best Squarespace plugins in 2026.

Squarespace's grid galleries crop everything to uniform tiles, which flattens the character out of mixed portrait-and-landscape photography. This plugin from SQPlugins converts Grid Gallery Blocks into a true masonry layout instead: it reads each image's natural aspect ratio and stacks them into columns in the staggered, Pinterest-style arrangement photography actually suits, with your chosen gutter spacing and responsive reflow on mobile and tablet. One important compatibility note from the vendor: it works with Grid Gallery Blocks placed in pages or blog posts, and does not support page section galleries. $19 as a one-time payment for a single site, or $99 for an agency licence covering unlimited client sites.See what else made our roundup of the best Squarespace plugins in 2026.
