Sage

Sage is a Squarespace 7.1 template by SwayRise Creative (Diane Whiddon), sold through the SquareKicker template store, built for coaches, mentors and personal-brand service providers who sell through a lead magnet. The demo is a business coach for entrepreneurs: a make-your-small-business-bigger hero, a free-training opt-in, a what-I-do strip for coaching, mentorship and VIP days, an about section, testimonials, an FAQ and a newsletter prompt, with Services, Podcast, Blog, Portfolio, Case Study, two gallery layouts, Contact, Testimonials, Opt-In, Thank You, Link Page, 404 and Coming Soon pages behind it. The old listing described a photography portfolio with two pages, which is not what this template is: the galleries are there, but the demo is a coaching business and there are sixteen page layouts.

What you get

• SquareKicker scroll effects, sticky blocks, layered sections, a custom cursor, fixed scrolling and a sticky split, editable while the extension is active
• A one-off purchase with a free 30-day SquareKicker extension trial

Who it suits

Business and mindset coaches, mentors, consultants and speakers who build an email list first and sell calls or programmes second. The portfolio, case study and gallery pages mean a brand strategist, copywriter or photographer who also coaches can use it, but the demo copy is written for a solo coach.

Honest limits

The opt-in page needs a storage destination (Squarespace email campaigns or Mailchimp) and a way to deliver the freebie, which you set up yourself. There is no scheduling: embed Acuity or Calendly on Contact or Services. Sixteen layouts is generous, and most solo coaches will delete half of them; you will not need two gallery pages and a case study. The podcast page is a layout, not a player, so you embed episodes from your host. Nothing is sold on the site without adding Squarespace commerce or a payment link. The animations 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.
