VENOIR

Venoir is a Squarespace 7.1 template by Asha Glenn Design Studio, sold from her own template shop. The designer describes it as luxury meets simplicity, made for creative entrepreneurs and small businesses, and the demo is a branding and design studio site (brand design, visual identity, consulting) with a portfolio, podcast and blog. It is not a fitness template, whatever you may have read elsewhere.

What you get

• Nine pre-made pages: Home, About, Portfolio, Contact, Services, Shop, Blog, Podcast and Resources
• Squarespace 7.1 with Fluid Engine, so sections are drag and drop and extra pre-made layouts can be added anywhere on the site
• A home page that runs introduction, what we do, selected work, testimonials, about the founder and a call to action
• Muted tones, clean lines and serif typography set in the Squarespace style editor, with no code required
• Guided video tutorials, a client hub of resources and 30 days of email support
• A single-use licence for one website

Who it suits

Brand designers, creative studios, consultants and coaches who want a quiet, upmarket look and need more than a brochure: the podcast, resources and shop pages give a personal brand somewhere to grow. It also suits interior stylists, photographers with a service arm and anyone selling a mix of services and digital products.

Honest limits

The style is deliberately restrained and editorial, so if your brand is bright or playful you will be fighting the design. Nine pages is a lot to fill; a two-person studio may leave the podcast and resources pages unused. The shop page is a Squarespace commerce layout, so selling needs a Commerce plan or a Business plan with transaction fees. Asha Glenn is a solo studio, so support is 30 days of email rather than an ongoing helpdesk.

How it is delivered

Within about 15 minutes of purchase you receive a template copy link; visiting it adds a new Squarespace trial site with Venoir installed to your Squarespace account. You then customise colours, fonts, images and text following the video tutorials and subscribe to a plan when you are ready to publish. There is no install-into-existing-site option listed.
