Elevate

Elevate is a Squarespace 7.1 template by GoLive built for corporate service firms: consultancies, law and accountancy practices, agencies and other businesses that sell expertise to other companies. The demo is a business strategy consultancy with a formal layout, a team page, a services page with a four-step process, and a case studies page that walks through the challenge, the process and the results for each client. It is not a shop or portfolio template: the ecommerce and portfolio features older listings described do not exist in it.

What you get

• Seven pages: Home, About, Services, Case Studies, Blog, Blog Post and Contact (titled Let's Work Together in the demo)
• Squarespace 7.1 with Fluid Engine, so sections are drag and drop in the standard editor
• A Case Studies page with a repeatable structure for each project: about the project, the challenge, the solution process, the solution and the results
• A free guide download, a newsletter block in every footer, and a contact form with location and office hours
• A cream and charcoal palette with a terracotta accent and a deep olive dark section, changed in the Squarespace style editor with no code
• GoLive's free five-day customisation course with step-by-step videos, a customer community, and unlimited email and Loom support
• An extended six-month Squarespace free trial and 20 per cent off your first year on an annual plan

Who it suits

Firms that win work through credibility rather than personality: management consultants, legal and financial practices, HR and compliance advisers, and B2B agencies who want a team-led site with written proof of results. The case study format is the strongest part and suits anyone who can describe a few past engagements with a measurable outcome. GoLive market it as a lawyer website template, which is a fair guide to its tone.

Honest limits

There is no shop, portfolio grid or booking page, so it is the wrong base for a product business or a solo creative. The corporate tone is built in, and a warmer brand will change more than colours. The case studies are page sections rather than a collection, so adding many means duplicating sections by hand. GoLive's sales pages use the same template for every product, so judge Elevate from its demo rather than the sales copy.

How it is delivered

Within 24 hours of purchase GoLive send a contributor invite to a new Squarespace trial site with Elevate installed.
