Pour Decisions

Pour Decisions is a Squarespace 7.1 template by Vative Creative, sold through the SquareKicker template store, built for a podcast or personal brand that also sells services and merchandise. The demo is a wine podcast: a savouring-stories hero with a new-episode-every-Wine-Wednesday banner, an about section, latest wine reviews, a featured-on logo strip, latest episodes with Apple, Spotify, Google and YouTube links, a merch strip, kind words and a subscribe block, with About Us, a Services page (wine consulting, wine marketing, event speaking), Our Reviews, Our Merch (a small Squarespace shop), FAQs, Contact Us and a Privacy Policy. The old listing described an event-planning template with registration and schedule pages, which it is not: there are no event pages, and the site is a podcast with a shop.

What you get

• Eight page layouts: Home, About Us, Services, Our Reviews, Our Merch, FAQs, Contact Us and Privacy Policy, on Squarespace 7.1 with Fluid Engine
• A latest-episodes section with links to podcast platforms and a logo showcase for press and partners
• A Services page with three offers and testimonials, and a products page wired to Squarespace commerce for merchandise
• A reviews page layout that suits tasting notes, book reviews or any recurring editorial format
• A cream, tan, burgundy and white palette that changes in the Squarespace style editor
• SquareKicker desktop overlay menu, scroll effects and a sticky section, editable while the extension is active
• A one-off purchase with a free 30-day SquareKicker extension trial

Who it suits

Podcasters and content creators who also consult, speak and sell merch, wine and drinks personalities, and with the copy changed a food writer, a book reviewer or any small business built around a personality. Vative pitches it at consultants and event speakers, and the Services page carries that.

Honest limits

The podcast is linked, not hosted: episodes live on your host and you paste embeds or links. The merch page uses Squarespace commerce, so you need a plan that supports selling and you set up products and shipping yourself. There is no events calendar or registration despite the old listing. No blog page in the demo, though the reviews page works as one. The overlay menu and sticky section are SquareKicker features that stay in place after the 30-day trial but need a subscription to keep editing.

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.
