If you run events on a Squarespace site (a conference, a retreat, a workshop series), presenting the schedule usually means a long wall of text. Common Ninja's free Agenda widget replaces that with a proper structured schedule: each item shows its time, location and speaker at a glance, visitors can switch between collapsed and expanded views, and full details open in a popup rather than pushing people to another page. Each agenda item can also link out, for example to a registration or ticket page. You build it in Common Ninja's editor and paste one line of embed code into a Squarespace code block; later edits sync to your site automatically. Free plan available, with paid tiers for higher traffic.
The Free Accordion Widget by Common Ninja streamlines navigation on your Squarespace site by providing multi-level menus and refined mobile navigation.

Palmer is a free Squarespace 7.1 template built for a single-location restaurant, and for once the demo matches the pitch. It is styled as an Old West saloon in Austin, with four pages in the nav: Welcome (the homepage), Menu, Press and Reservations. The homepage carries a short introduction to the chef and the room, a Some of Our Favourites photo gallery, a View Our Full Menu link, three pulled review quotes, a Read More Reviews link and a Location, Hours and Contact block. The Menu page uses Squarespace's built-in menu block with breakfast, lunch and dinner sections and prices, Press is a run of six review excerpts, and Reservations pairs a short booking policy with a Tock reservations widget. Hours and social links sit in the footer. It belongs in our Squarespace templates for restaurants collection as the free option to try first.Who it suitsRestaurants, bars, cafes and bistros that need a menu, a booking link and a bit of press on a dark, atmospheric layout. The press page is a nice touch for anywhere with reviews to show off, and the hours and location block is exactly what a hungry visitor wants without scrolling.One honest caveatFour pages and no custom code is a skeleton, not a finished site. There is no online ordering, no events page and no gift card shop in the demo, the Tock widget only helps if you use Tock (OpenTable and Resy need their own blocks), and the dark palette needs confident food and interior photography or it looks gloomy rather than moody.Setting it upChoose Palmer in Squarespace's template picker or start from the demo, rebuild the menu block with your own dishes, replace the gallery and press quotes, and swap the reservations widget for whichever booking system you use. Every page is built with Fluid Engine, so sections can be dragged, duplicated and resized without code.
Pine is designed specifically for restaurants, featuring a clear menu display and a streamlined reservation system. Its readable typography and structured layout ensure that essential information is easily accessible. Perfect for restaurant owners wanting to showcase multiple services or locations, this Squarespace 7.1 template avoids clutter while maintaining a professional look.
What Laurie isLaurie is one of Squarespace's own free 7.1 templates, built on Fluid Engine and styled as the business site of a wedding planner. The demo is called Weddings by Laurie: soft neutrals with a deep red accent, generous white space, a serif headline face and photographs of real celebrations rather than stock ballroom shots. The old listing on this page sold Laurie as a wedding website for couples with event details and RSVP forms; it is not that. There is no RSVP form, no schedule of the day and no registry in the demo. It is a six page site for someone who plans weddings for a living and needs enquiries.What it doesThe pages in the demo are Home, About, Services, Consultation, Blog and Contact. Home introduces the planner, shows a few featured weddings and pushes visitors towards booking a consultation. Services is where full planning, partial planning and on the day coordination would sit, each with its own description and a call to action. Consultation is a dedicated page for the first call, with a form so prospective couples can share their date, venue and budget range before you speak. The Blog is a standard Squarespace blog with two categories in the demo, Wedding Stories and Wedding Tips, and six sample posts (real wedding write-ups such as Jamie and Sophie, plus advice pieces on DIY weddings and staying on budget), which is a sensible content plan for a planner who wants to rank locally. Contact is a simple page with a form and social links. Every section is drag and drop in Fluid Engine, and the palette and type live in Site Styles.Who it suitsWedding planners and coordinators first, then wedding stylists, celebrants, florists and venue consultants who sell a service and want a consultation funnel rather than a shop. The blog structure makes it a good fit for anyone who intends to publish real weddings as case studies. It is not a couple's own wedding site, and it is not a photographer portfolio: for that look at Quincy, another free Squarespace template I list separately.One honest caveatLaurie is a skeleton with a good page plan, not a finished business. The demo has no pricing, no packages table and no client portal, and the Services and Consultation pages are placeholder copy you will rewrite from scratch. The look leans heavily on warm, well lit photography of real weddings; if you are starting out and only have a few images, the pages will feel thinner than the demo. As with every free Squarespace template, the value is in the layout and the hierarchy, and the rest is your work.SetupLaurie is free and included with every Squarespace plan, including Personal. You choose it when you start a new site, or preview the demo and click to start from it. There is no licence to buy and nothing to install. Squarespace 7.1 does not let you switch templates on an existing site, so if you already have a 7.1 site you would start a fresh trial from Laurie and move your content across. Plan for one to three hours to replace the demo content across the six pages, and longer if you want the blog populated before launch.Related guideSee how Laurie compares with paid designer templates in my roundup of the best Squarespace templates for wedding professionals, or browse the templates for wedding planners collection and the full Squarespace templates list. If you are weighing a free Squarespace template against a designer template, read my guide on how to choose the right Squarespace template.
What Kester isKester is one of Squarespace's own free 7.1 templates, built on Fluid Engine and styled as the portfolio of an independent designer and illustrator. The demo site is called Ida Kester: black, white and grey with a red accent, big bold headlines and a set of playful project titles (Gary Gators Locksmith, Tex Mex T-Rex, Comfort Wants You Dead) that tell you this is a creative's site, not a corporate one. The old listing on this page sold Kester as a template for technology companies with product documentation and support pages; it is nothing of the sort. There is no documentation, no product pages for software and no support centre in the demo. It is a five page creative portfolio with a small merch shop attached.What it doesThe pages in the demo are Home, Work, Shop, Blog and Contact. Work is a Squarespace portfolio collection with six sample projects, each opening as its own case study page, which is the right structure for a designer who wants to show process rather than a single grid of thumbnails. Shop is a standard Squarespace store page with two sample t-shirts, so you inherit real product pages and a working cart for merch or prints. Blog is a standard blog with two placeholder posts, and Contact is a form page. Home ties it together with a bold introduction and links into the work. Every section is drag and drop in Fluid Engine, and the high-contrast palette lives in Site Styles, so it softens with a settings change if red and black is too loud.Who it suitsGraphic designers, illustrators, art directors, animators and small studios who want a portfolio with case study pages, a blog for process posts and a place to sell a few products. It is a good fit for freelancers with a strong visual identity and a sense of humour. It is not a template for a tech startup, a SaaS product or a documentation site: for those, look at a template built around feature pages and long-form text.One honest caveatKester gives you a bold skeleton and a lot of personality, and both cut both ways. The layout depends on confident work and short, punchy copy; a cautious portfolio with long descriptions will fight the design. The Shop page only becomes useful on a Business plan or higher, since Personal does not include commerce, and the demo has no About or Services page, so you will add those yourself. As with every free Squarespace template, every image and line of copy is a placeholder.SetupKester is free and included with every Squarespace plan, including Personal, though you need Business or above to take payments in the Shop. You choose it when you start a new site, or preview the demo and click to start from it. There is no licence to buy and nothing to install. Squarespace 7.1 does not let you switch templates on an existing site, so if you already have a 7.1 site you would start a fresh trial from Kester and move your content across. Plan for one to three hours to replace the demo content across the five pages, plus time for each case study you add to Work.Related guideBrowse the templates for designers and templates for artists collections to compare Kester with paid designer templates, or see the full Squarespace templates list.

What Brower isBrower is one of Squarespace's own free 7.1 Fluid Engine templates, and it is a food blog, not a restaurant site. The homepage is a masonry Blog collection with fourteen sample posts, the About page introduces "a food knowledge sharing community", and Contact is a single page. The old listing on this page described a restaurant template with menus, bookings and galleries; that was wrong. There is no menu page, no reservations block and no gallery in the demo.What it doesThe homepage blog uses Squarespace's masonry layout with author, date, excerpt and a Read More link on each card, so a food writer or recipe developer can publish straight into a layout that already handles mixed image heights. Each post is a normal blog post with categories, tags, comments and sharing available in the settings. The About page is a plain Fluid Engine page with text and imagery (the demo photography was shot at the New York restaurant Buvette), and Contact is ready for a form block. A newsletter sign up sits in the footer for building a list. As with every Squarespace template, fonts, colours and spacing are edited in Site Styles.Who it suitsFood writers, recipe bloggers, restaurant critics, cookery teachers and small food communities who want the writing front and centre. It is also a decent base for a cafe or bakery that mainly wants a journal and a contact page, provided you are willing to add the commercial pages yourself.One honest caveatIf you run a restaurant this is the wrong starting point. There is no menu block, no reservation or table booking integration, no opening hours section and no gallery in the demo, and the homepage being a Blog collection means the first thing visitors see is your latest post rather than a hero with your location and hours. All of that can be built, but at that point another Squarespace template will get you there faster.SetupBrower is free and included with every Squarespace plan. Start a trial from the Squarespace templates page, choose Brower and the sample posts are loaded for you to replace. No licence and no install. The footer newsletter block needs a storage connection such as Squarespace Email Campaigns or Mailchimp before it will collect addresses, and Commerce or custom code need a Core plan or higher.Related guideBrowse the templates for food and drink brands sub-collection or the full Squarespace templates collection, and read my guide on how to choose the right Squarespace template before settling on a free one.

What Feedback Form (Common Ninja) isFeedback Form is Common Ninja's survey-style form widget, pre-tuned for ratings and comments and embedded on a Squarespace page with one line of code. The old copy here described buttons, tabs and accordions, a different product. It is their Form Builder engine with defaults for satisfaction surveys.What it doesThe vendor page lists star and scale ratings, multiple choice and checkboxes, dropdowns for categories, long-form text for open comments, and file or image upload for screenshots. Fields can be grouped under section headers and reordered by drag and drop. Notification emails go to whoever owns each feedback flow, honeypot fields and optional CAPTCHA keep junk out, and every response is saved to the Common Ninja dashboard and exportable to CSV.Who it suitsProduct feedback, customer satisfaction surveys, post-purchase and event feedback, staff feedback and feature requests on a Squarespace site, without paying for a separate survey tool.One honest caveatSquarespace's Form Block can collect a comment box for free, but has no rating scales or file uploads, which is the real reason to use this. In return your responses live in Common Ninja's dashboard on a third party script, and there is no reporting beyond the list and CSV export, so analysis happens in a spreadsheet.Setup and pricingBuild the form in Common Ninja's editor and paste the embed code into a Squarespace code block (Core, formerly Business, plan or higher). Common Ninja is recurring software: the free plan covers one feedback form with no time limit, and paid tiers add forms, submission volume, premium skins and the advanced features noted above.Related guideRead my roundup of the best Squarespace plugins in 2026 or browse the plugins collection.
What it isCommon Ninja's Audio Player is a free, hosted widget that puts an MP3 or podcast player on a Squarespace page. You upload tracks or paste links to hosted audio, style the player in a live editor and paste one line of embed code into a code block. Squarespace has its own Audio Block, so what this adds is playlists with several tracks, more skins and layouts, a sticky mini-player that follows the visitor, and shuffle, loop and autoplay controls.What it doesTracks can be uploaded MP3 files or external URLs (hosted MP3, .ogg or .wav), mixed in one playlist with names, cover images and your own order. The editor offers ready-made skins, compact or featured layouts, top, bottom or inline positioning, colour, font and icon controls, and custom CSS. Because the widget is hosted, changing the playlist later needs no new embed.Who it suitsMusicians sharing samples, podcasters who want episodes on their own site, authors with audiobook previews, coaches and teachers publishing meditations or lessons.Honest caveatsThe free plan covers one widget with view limits; more views, premium skins and advanced playlist features need a paid annual plan per widget. It is a third-party script on your page. Browsers block autoplay with sound, so treat autoplay as muted-start or leave it off. For a single track, Squarespace's native Audio Block is simpler.SetupCreate a free account, add tracks and style the player, then add a code block to your Squarespace page and paste the snippet. Common Ninja quote under four minutes.Related guide: my roundup of the best Squarespace plugins in 2026, or the full plugins collection.
What Strade isStrade is one of Squarespace's own free 7.1 templates, built on Fluid Engine and styled as the site of a small tour company that runs trips in Switzerland, Spain and Italy. The tours in the demo are named after famous mountain passes (Grosse Scheidegg, Col de Sóller, the Italian Dolomites), so it reads as a cycling or road trip operator, with big landscape photography, a black, grey and white palette and clean, spacious type. The old listing on this page described Strade as a portfolio template for artists and designers with Home, About, Portfolio and Contact pages; there is no portfolio in the demo and the copy was wrong. It is a travel and tours site with a shop attached.What it doesThe pages in the demo are Home, Tours, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Information, Contact and a store. Home sets the scene with landscape imagery and links into the trips. Tours is the overview, and each country page carries the trips for that destination with its own imagery and copy. Information is where the practical detail lives (what is included, what to bring, how booking works), Contact is a form page, and the store is a standard Squarespace store page with three sample tours set up as products, so a visitor can book and pay for a trip through Squarespace Commerce rather than emailing. Every section is drag and drop in Fluid Engine, and the palette and type live in Site Styles.Who it suitsSmall tour operators, cycling and walking holiday companies, guides who sell a handful of dated trips a year, retreat organisers and anyone selling experiences by destination. The country page structure suits any business that organises its offer by place. It is not a portfolio for artists or designers, whatever earlier listings said: for that look at Kester or Night, two other free Squarespace templates I list.One honest caveatSelling tours as products needs a Business plan or higher, since Personal has no commerce, and Squarespace Commerce is built for physical and digital goods rather than dated bookings: it will take payment for a trip, but availability per date, deposits and participant details are not native, so a busy operator will want a booking tool such as Acuity, or a proper tour booking platform, embedded instead. The demo also assumes strong landscape photography, and there is no blog or About page, so both are yours to add.SetupStrade is free and included with every Squarespace plan, but you need Business or above to take payments. You choose it when you start a new site, or preview the demo and click to start from it. There is no licence to buy and nothing to install. Squarespace 7.1 does not let you switch templates on an existing site, so if you already have a 7.1 site you would start a fresh trial from Strade and move your content across. Plan for one to three hours to replace the demo trips, country pages and information copy, plus time to connect payments or a booking tool.Related guideBrowse the full Squarespace templates list to compare Strade with paid travel and tourism templates, or read my guides on the best free Squarespace templates and how to choose the right Squarespace template.

This tool simplifies the process for builders needing to embed audio without extensive technical knowledge. Say goodbye to cumbersome workarounds—enhance your content with user-friendly audio controls and streamlined workflows tailored for Squarespace 7.1.
What it isTransmission is one of Squarespace's own free 7.1 templates, and the demo is a musician's podcast with a paid members' club. The home page is a dark, type-led screen with a scrolling marquee, the latest episode and a call to join Soundcheck. Behind it sit an About page with contact and listening links, a Podcast page listing episodes as posts with audio players, and a Soundcheck page pitching a monthly membership for demos, studio footage and merch. Login and Account links show it is built around Squarespace's member areas.The old listing on this page described a general media portfolio. It is a podcast and membership site, and that is how I would use it.What you get
Pages: Home, About, Podcast and Soundcheck, plus member login and account
Sections: marquee hero, latest episode, membership pitch, episode list, about, newsletter signup
A dark palette with large display type
Who it suitsPodcasters, musicians and audio creators who want episodes on their own site and a way to sell a fan club.Honest caveatsThe membership page is a design, not a working paywall. Selling member access uses Squarespace's Digital Products, a paid add-on or a Core plan and above, with its own fees. The podcast page is a blog with audio blocks; Squarespace can generate the RSS feed for Apple and Spotify from it. Free templates mean many similar sites, so change the type and colours.How it is deliveredFree means the design costs nothing; you pay for a Squarespace plan when you publish. Start a trial from the template's page on squarespace.com and the demo content is installed for you to replace. Fluid Engine handles the layout, so sections are drag and drop.Related guide: more free Squarespace templates or the full templates hub.
