MiniMatic

MiniMatic is a Squarespace 7.1 template by Little Ox Workshop, sold through the SquareKicker template store, built for design professionals whose images should do the talking: architects, interior designers and small studios. The demo is an architecture and interior design firm in Montana: an integrated-living hero, three service tiles (interior design, design, build), a fulfil-your-vision prompt and a plain contact footer, with a Projects folder holding an Overview page and four project pages (Mountain Retreat, Apartment, Cabin, Urban), a Services page (feasibility study, architectural and interior design, construction), an About page with three team members and a Contact page. The old listing pitched it at consultants and writers on four pages; the demo is a nine-page architecture site built around project case studies.

What you get

• Nine page layouts: Home, a Projects folder with Overview and four project pages, Services, About and Contact, on Squarespace 7.1 with Fluid Engine
• Project pages built as image-led case studies with large galleries, plus an Overview page that indexes them
• A Services page with three offers and an About page for a team of any size, or a solo practitioner
• Eleven featured sections (header, list, body, ending, projects, project description, contact, about, people, footer) to reuse on any page
• Understated parallax scrolling rather than heavy animation, so it stays quick and quiet
• A white, black and grey palette that changes in the Squarespace style editor
• A one-off purchase with a free 30-day SquareKicker extension trial

Who it suits

Architects, interior designers, landscape architects, design-build firms and photographers of buildings who want a restrained portfolio with a few case studies and a short services list. Writers and consultants can use it, as the vendor suggests, but only if they have strong imagery to carry it.

Honest limits

There is no blog, no testimonials section and no newsletter sign-up in the demo, so lead capture is the single contact form. Project pages are hand-built, not a gallery collection with filters, so adding a project means duplicating a page. The palette is monochrome by design and the typography is plain, so a brand that needs colour and personality will need more styling work. This template lists no SquareKicker animation presets beyond parallax, which some buyers will see as a plus.

How it is delivered

SquareKicker templates install through the SquareKicker Template Engine onto a new or existing Squarespace 7.1 site: connect the free SquareKicker extension, pick the template and it installs in a few clicks, with the choice of keeping your existing site styles or replacing them with the template's. There is no duplicate site to copy from. The purchase is one-off and includes a 30-day SquareKicker extension trial; you need a Squarespace Core plan or higher to publish, and SquareKicker template buyers get 10 per cent off a Squarespace plan.
