Nest

Nest is a Squarespace 7.1 template by GoLive built for estate agents and realtors, made in partnership with real estate marketing educator Haley Ingram. The demo is a Miami agent's site: a hero with a book-a-call button, three proof numbers, a personal introduction, buyer and seller service blocks, a listings prompt, an about section and client reviews. It is a property agent's site, not the artist and designer portfolio older listings described; there is no gallery or portfolio page in it.

What you get

• Twelve page layouts: Home, Neighborhoods, Neighborhood page, Buying, Listing post, Selling, About, Testimonials, Resources, Blog, Blog Post and Book a Call
• Squarespace 7.1 with Fluid Engine, so sections are drag and drop in the standard editor
• Neighbourhood guides and listings built as Squarespace blog collections, so each area or property is a post with its own page
• Separate Buying and Selling pages, a Resources page for guides and downloads, and a Testimonials page
• A green, neutral, white and brown palette that changes in the Squarespace style editor, no code needed
• A contact form and newsletter sign-up, plus GoLive's free five-day customisation course, customer community and unlimited email and Loom support

Who it suits

Independent agents and small teams who market on personality and local knowledge rather than on a large searchable inventory. The neighbourhood guides are the strongest idea in it: area pages are good for local search and give a reason to link the site from social media.

Honest limits

Listings are manual blog posts; there is no MLS, IDX or Rightmove feed, so an agency with hundreds of live properties needs a proper property platform, not Squarespace. The demo copy is written for the American market (realtor, MLS-style proof numbers) and a UK agent will rewrite terminology and add fees pages. Booking is a form, not a live calendar. GoLive's sales pages are templated, so judge the template from its demo rather than the sales copy.

How it is delivered
