Reach

Reach is a Squarespace 7.1 Fluid Engine template from Happenstance Design Co., described by the designer as a sleek template for budding nonprofits and service-based businesses. It is built around landing page style layouts with clear calls to action, and it ships with a custom Squarespace training course so the person editing the site does not need prior experience.

Who it suits

New and growing nonprofits, appeal and campaign microsites, and service organisations whose website has to look legitimate to funders, board members and partners. The training course is the practical reason we would put Reach in front of a small team: it is often a volunteer or the founder who ends up maintaining the site, and Happenstance have planned for that. The password-protected page is a sensible touch for a board or staff portal.

One honest caveat

The tone is marketing-led and can feel commercial for a community charity; the demo reads more like an agency than a grassroots organisation. There is a donate page, but no events collection, so if you run a regular programme of events you will add Squarespace's events page yourself. As with every template here, donations use Squarespace's donation block on a Core plan or higher (Business or Commerce on older plans).

What is included

Eleven custom-designed pages and three blog post templates: Home, About (Team), Services, Impact, Resources, News, Hiring (job postings), Donate, a password-protected client or board portal, Contact and a content-not-found page. Fonts, colours, images and graphics are all editable in the Squarespace editor with no code. Happenstance include a pre-launch checklist and the full training course.
