Genius Blog Contents from The Square Genius automatically builds a clickable "On this page" table of contents from the headings in your Squarespace blog posts, so readers can jump straight to the section they want.There are no jump links to create or maintain by hand: the contents list updates itself as you write. It is built for Squarespace 7.1 and costs $25.
Elevate your Squarespace 7.1 site with this intuitive plugin that streamlines customization for a standout online presence. Perfect for businesses and creatives, it simplifies styling without technical hassle, ensuring your website is mobile-responsive and visually cohesive. Unleash your brand’s potential and create a stunning site that captivates visitors effortlessly.
Squarespace Goal Progress Bar Plugin from The Square Genius adds an animated horizontal progress bar to a Squarespace 7.1 page, showing how far a fundraising target, project or campaign has come. When the section scrolls into view the bar fills to the current percentage, the raised amount counts up, and hovering reveals a tooltip with more detail. Colours, font sizes and the speed of the animation are adjustable, and the plugin is supplied as code you add to your site rather than as a hosted widget, so there is nothing to subscribe to.Who it suitsCharities and community groups running appeals, schools and clubs raising money for a specific purchase, and businesses with a public target such as trees planted or meals donated. It is a good fit for a campaign landing page where the number is the story.One honest caveatThe bar is not connected to your donation platform. The current total is a value you type into the code, so someone has to update it as money comes in; a progress bar stuck at 40% for three weeks does more harm than no bar at all. Custom code needs a Business plan or higher, and the vendor states it is compatible with Squarespace 7.1 only.InstallationCopy the supplied code into your Squarespace 7.1 site following the full instruction guide included, then set the goal, the current amount and your colours. Updating progress later means changing one value in the code.Related guide: see our roundup of the best Squarespace plugins in 2026 for how this compares with the alternatives.
Squarespace's Map Block shows one pin on a default map, and that is the end of it. If you run multiple locations, a directory, or a travel or events site, you are stuck. This plugin from Squarewebsites extends the native Map Block to show multiple locations with custom markers and custom map styling that matches your site rather than defaulting to standard Google colours. The clever part is where the locations come from: you add them to a Gallery, Blog or Events collection using each item's location tab, tick Use Collection Locations on the Map Block, and the map populates itself. Adding a new branch later means adding a collection item, not touching code.Practical notes before buying. The plugin needs sitewide code injection, which means the Business or Commerce plans (there is a Markdown block workaround for the Personal plan, but Squarewebsites are honest that it could stop working). The code arrives by email within 24 hours of purchase rather than as an instant download, because each copy is paired to your Squarespace domain. The $40 licence covers one site; designers using it across client sites should look at the unlimited version at $70. It works on both Squarespace 7.0 and 7.1, on any template.See how it compares with other options in our guide to the best Squarespace plugins and our roundup of the best Squarespace store locator plugins in 2026.
Squarespace has no countdown block of its own, so a launch, a sale or an event deadline ends up as a line of static text. This Countdown Timer from The Square Genius adds a proper clock to a Squarespace 7.1 page: days, hours, minutes and seconds in four tiles, ticking down to a date and time you set, with the tiles fading in one after another as the timer scrolls into view. When the deadline passes the timer replaces itself with a message of your choosing rather than sitting at zero.What it includesA code snippet you paste into a code block, plus written instructions. You set the target date and time and the expiry message directly in the code, and adjust the colours, fonts and sizing to match your site. The demo shows the standard layout: a heading above four labelled tiles, responsive so it reads properly on a phone. The Square Genius states it is compatible with all Squarespace 7.1 templates.Who it suitsCourse creators with an enrolment window, shops running a time-limited promotion, and anyone promoting a workshop, webinar or live event. If your site regularly needs a "doors close on Friday" moment, having a native-looking timer ready is worth more than it costs.Honest caveatsIt is a single-deadline timer: one target date, one expiry message, and the settings live in the code rather than in a panel, so you will be editing a date string when the promotion changes. There is no evergreen or per-visitor mode, and no redirect on expiry. It uses custom code, which means a Business plan or higher, and it is 7.1 only. Countdown timers also only earn their keep when the deadline is real; visitors notice a clock that resets every time they return.InstallationCopy the supplied code into a code block where you want the timer, change the date and the expiry message, and save. The Square Genius sells it as a digital download with instant access and no refunds once delivered, so check the demo first.Related guide: see our roundup of the best Squarespace plugins in 2026 for how this compares with the alternatives.
Summary Block Style #1 [for Grids] transforms content display by providing a visually engaging grid layout for Squarespace users. Ideal for portfolios or product showcases, this plugin enhances mobile responsiveness and SEO, simplifying the creation of a stunning site that reflects your brand without needing extensive design skills.
Simple List Testimonial Style is a code snippet from Will's Toolkit, the membership library run by Squarespace developer Will Myers, rather than a standalone plugin; an active Toolkit subscription is required to open it. It takes a native Squarespace list section in its simple (grid) layout and restyles each item as a clean testimonial card: the quote at the top, a thin divider line, then the person's name on the left and a small circular photo on the right, with a light shadow around the card. In the Toolkit preview it sits under a plain "A few kind words" heading in a three-column grid.What it includesOne CSS snippet with copy buttons, tagged in the catalogue under Testimonials and List Section, last updated in April 2025 according to the listing. Because it styles Squarespace's own list items, testimonials are added and edited in the normal list section panel, with the description field for the quote, the title for the name and the image for the photo. The Toolkit membership itself also includes the full Code Catalog, the browser extension, the Robo-Will AI assistant, a Slack community and a discount on Will's standalone plugins.Who it suitsDesigners who want a tidy, repeatable testimonial grid for service and consultancy sites without building it from scratch each time, and site owners who are comfortable pasting CSS and prefer a calm, card-based look to a rotating carousel.Trade-offsIt is deliberately simple: no stars, no source icons, no slider controls. If you want those, a hosted reviews widget is a better fit. You are buying a membership rather than a single snippet, so the value depends on using more of the library. Custom CSS needs a Squarespace Business plan or higher, and styling that targets Squarespace's list section markup can need a small adjustment when Squarespace changes it.How it installsAdd a list section, choose the simple layout, add your testimonials as list items, then copy the snippet from the Toolkit into Design, Custom CSS. Follow the notes to scope it to the section you want and to set the card background, shadow and divider colour.Related guide: How to use custom CSS in Squarespace and Best Squarespace plugins in 2026.
Border Style enhances your Squarespace navigation by providing customizable menus that reflect your brand identity. This plugin ensures mobile responsiveness and an elegant design, making your site user-friendly without the need for coding skills. Perfect for businesses and creatives, it allows you to create a polished online presence with ease.
Squarespace's Map Block shows a single pin on a default Google map. Squarespace Interactive Maps, sold by Squarewebsites as the Advanced Interactive Map Block (Unlimited Sites edition), extends that same block so it can show many locations at once, each with its own marker, details and styling that matches your site rather than Google's standard colours. Locations can be entered directly or pulled from a Gallery, Blog or Events collection, so adding a new branch later means adding a collection item rather than editing code. It works on all templates on Squarespace 7.0 and 7.1, and this licence covers any number of sites.Who it suitsMulti-location businesses, estate agents, tour operators, festival and event organisers, and especially designers who build client sites and need a map plugin they can reuse without buying a licence each time. It also pairs with Squarewebsites' Universal Filter so visitors can filter locations by tag or search by address.One honest caveatIt only works on the Map Block, and the Map Block uses Google Maps under the hood, so an address that Google cannot find will not appear on your map either. The plugin needs code injection, which means a Business plan or higher (a workaround exists for Personal plans but could stop working). The installation code is emailed after purchase rather than downloaded instantly. If you only run one site, the single-site edition does the same job.InstallationPaste the emailed installation code into footer code injection once. Your Map Block settings then gain the extra options for multiple locations, markers and styling.Related guides: see our roundup of the best Squarespace plugins in 2026 for how this compares with the alternatives, and our guide to free Squarespace plugins if you want to try the free map widgets covered there first.

The Squarespace Gallery Filter Plugin from The Square Genius adds filterable category tabs to a Squarespace 7.1 gallery block grid, so visitors can narrow images by project type or category instead of scrolling through everything.Categories are set with simple tags in your image descriptions, with unlimited filters, optional captions and optional click-through links. No coding is needed, and at $30 it is one of the most affordable dedicated filter plugins for Squarespace.
What Before After Image Slider isBefore After Image Slider is a Squarespace 7.1 plugin by Squarespell that stacks two images and lets a visitor drag a divider across them to compare a before and an after. It is a code plugin delivered as an instant download, aimed at photographers, designers and service businesses that show transformations. The old listing on this page described a carousel with autoplay, timing controls and mixed media slides; that was a different product. This is a single comparison slider, not a carousel.What it doesYou install the plugin code and set up a slider with a before image and an after image; the divider moves with the mouse on desktop and responds on tablet and mobile, and Squarespell describe the transition as smooth rather than stepped. It is tested on Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge, and the styles are adjustable so the handle and divider can be matched to your brand. Squarespell sell it on a single site licence or a multi use licence for unlimited websites, with bundle discounts applied automatically when you buy two or more of their plugins.Who it suitsRetouchers and portrait photographers, interior and landscape designers, renovation trades, cleaning and detailing businesses, aesthetics clinics and web designers showing redesigns: anyone whose service is best proven by a side by side. The multi use licence suits designers who want one slider across client sites.One honest caveatThere is no live demo linked from the product page at the time of writing, and the feature list is short, so you cannot check the handle style, label options or whether a vertical divider is supported before buying. Compare it with Will Myers' before and after slider, which has a public demo and a no code style builder, before deciding. Squarespell state on the listing that they verified the creator and pricing but have not installed the plugin themselves.SetupYou need a Squarespace 7.1 site on a plan with code injection, which means Core or higher; the Basic plan does not allow custom code. Install is a copy and paste of the plugin code followed by adding your two images per slider. Delivery is an instant download. The single licence covers one website and the multi use licence covers unlimited websites.Related guideI keep comparison and carousel tools together in the Squarespace slider plugins sub-collection. See the full plugins collection and my roundup of the best Squarespace plugins in 2026.
Super Simple Style streamlines the website building process for Squarespace users, offering a collection of customizable layouts and mobile-responsive designs. Ideal for creatives and small businesses, this plugin simplifies the creation of visually appealing sections without needing advanced web design skills. Effortlessly showcase your brand with a professional touch.
What it covers
Squarespace Mastery 3.0 is Olga of Applet Studio's Web Design 101 course, and the point that separates it from most Squarespace tutorials is that it treats Squarespace as the implementation tool, not the design tool. Roughly the first half is about deciding what the site should be before you open the editor. More than 700 people have taken it since 2020, and the 3.0 version is a full rebuild for Fluid Engine.
The workshops cover Figma and essential design skills (preparing graphics, mockups, vector tools, masks and shadows), web design fundamentals (typography, layout, grids and composition), a vanilla theme build where you design and implement a black and white base theme in Squarespace with the Figma files and CSS snippets supplied, website copywriting and project stages with a content gathering guide, and a design practicum in which Olga takes two brands from mood board to Figma prototype to a finished Squarespace build. Bonuses include a development checklist, a sample creative brief, the studio's branding workshop as a Google Doc, extra Figma files and a homework assignment that Olga gives personal feedback on. A paid add-on at checkout covers home page structures for service, product and coaching businesses.
Who it is for
Aspiring designers, marketers and virtual assistants adding web design to their services, and business owners who can operate Squarespace but are unhappy with how their site looks. No drawing, illustration or coding skills are assumed.
Format and access
Over eight hours of video on Teachable with all resources available immediately: tutorials, Figma files, CSS and the homework. Self-paced; Olga says people either binge it over a weekend or spread it out. Purchases are non-refundable, and the designs remain Applet Studio's copyright, so you cannot resell the vanilla theme as a template.
Where it falls short
It is not a CSS course; you get snippets for common fixes and Applet Studio's CSS Mastery is the follow-on. The Figma emphasis is a strength if you plan to design for clients and a detour if you only want your own site done. And the practicum shows Olga's taste, which is clean and editorial; if your clients want something louder you will be adapting. Having built over 400 Squarespace sites, I think the planning before implementation lesson alone justifies a course at this level for a new designer.

Squarespace's grid galleries crop everything to uniform tiles, which flattens the character out of mixed portrait-and-landscape photography. This plugin from SQPlugins converts Grid Gallery Blocks into a true masonry layout instead: it reads each image's natural aspect ratio and stacks them into columns in the staggered, Pinterest-style arrangement photography actually suits, with your chosen gutter spacing and responsive reflow on mobile and tablet. One important compatibility note from the vendor: it works with Grid Gallery Blocks placed in pages or blog posts, and does not support page section galleries. $19 as a one-time payment for a single site, or $99 for an agency licence covering unlimited client sites.See what else made our roundup of the best Squarespace plugins in 2026.Related guide: Best Squarespace gallery and lightbox plugins in 2026.
Underline Style (#02) enhances content readability and visual appeal on your Squarespace site. This plugin allows easy customization of layouts, colors, and fonts without technical skills. Perfect for businesses and creatives alike, it ensures your site is mobile-responsive, making it easier to engage visitors across all devices.

Ideal for businesses and creatives, it ensures your content is organized and visually appealing across all devices.
The View is a Squarespace 7.1 template sold through the SquareKicker template store, credited there to Altitude, and it is a hotel and serviced apartments site rather than the estate agent listing template older listings described. The demo is a boutique aparthotel: a full-width hero with a book-now button, an escape-to-elegance introduction, a studios and apartments grid, an eat-and-drink section, things to do, a pool and gym block, a subscribe strip and a room page example with room details and other rooms. SquareKicker's own pitch names hotels, Airbnb hosts, real estate and travel agencies, and the layout will stretch to a holiday let or a small portfolio of rentals.What you get
Nine page layouts: Home, About Us, Studios and Apartments, Room Page, Drink and Dine, Pool and Gym, Things To Do, FAQs and Contact, on Squarespace 7.1 with Fluid Engine
Nineteen SquareKicker sections including hero, hero card, studio listings, bedrooms, room details, other rooms, eat and drink, things to do, video, subscribe, FAQ and contact
A room page layout you duplicate per room or apartment, with a booking call to action in the header
A green, orange, white and brown palette that changes in the Squarespace style editor
A SquareKicker desktop overlay menu
A one-off purchase with a free 30-day SquareKicker extension trial
Who it suitsBoutique hotels, aparthotels, serviced apartment operators, holiday lets and Airbnb hosts with a handful of units, plus small guest houses that want a rooms grid, a dining page and a things-to-do page. A letting agent with a short list of properties could use the studio listings section for rentals, but it is a hospitality layout at heart.Honest limitsThere is no booking engine: the book-now button links to whatever you use (Squarespace Scheduling, a channel manager or a direct-booking widget), and there is no availability calendar. Rooms are hand-built pages, not a database, so an operator with dozens of units will find upkeep tedious. There is no property search or filtering, which is what a real estate agency actually needs, so treat the real estate label loosely. The overlay menu is a SquareKicker feature that needs a subscription to keep editing after the trial.How it is deliveredSquareKicker 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.Related guide: compare it with the alternatives in our roundup of the best Squarespace templates for hotels and hospitality, or browse the Squarespace templates hub.
Revamp your Squarespace site with this advanced plugin that offers a stunning column view and dynamic video playback. Perfect for creatives and small businesses, it enhances user engagement and ensures a mobile-responsive design. Enjoy effortless customization without coding, making your content shine across all devices and captivating your audience effectively.
Lightbox Studio is BeyondSpace's replacement for the default Squarespace lightbox, and it is the most complete one I have used. Out of the box Squarespace gives you a single image on a dark background with two arrows. Lightbox Studio swaps that for a lightbox with pinch and scroll zoom, swipe gestures, thumbnails, a toolbar with slide counter and download button, captions, and support for video and PDF slides, and it applies itself across the whole site once installed rather than block by block.
What it includes
Zoom on desktop (mouse wheel) and mobile (pinch), touch gestures for swipe, drag-to-close and tap-to-toggle controls, a thumbnail strip, an optional toolbar with zoom buttons, slide indicator, download and clickthrough link, and lightbox indicator icons so visitors know an image will open. It works with grid galleries, slideshow blocks, slideshow and reel sections and auto layouts, on both 7.0 and 7.1. Dynamic galleries let you show one cover image and load a hidden gallery on click. Each slide gets its own URL, so you can link straight into an open gallery. Video galleries and PDF links (with open in new tab switched off) open in the same lightbox. A Classic layout option restores the plain Squarespace look if you want the gestures without the chrome.
Who it suits
Photographers, illustrators, architects, interior designers and product-led sites where zoom and detail matter. It is also worth it for any site with a lot of mixed media, because it gives images, video and PDFs one consistent viewer.
Trade-offs
Two honest caveats. It has a lot of settings, and getting the look right takes longer than a single-purpose lightbox; BeyondSpace sell narrower plugins if you only need video or PDF. And installation runs from their end via your site, so a fully private site has to be set to public or password-protected during install (you can lock it again afterwards).
How it installs
After purchase you receive step-by-step instructions by email and paste a snippet into Footer code injection, then activate the licence. Settings are generated in the Playground on BeyondSpace's page, or adjusted visually with their Ground Control dashboard app, which also offers a free trial that previews the plugin in your site editor before you buy. Code injection needs a Squarespace plan that allows it. BeyondSpace handle updates and bug fixes for the life of the product and include a year of breaking-change updates.

Add interactive elements like buttons, tabs, and accordions to your Squarespace site with Button by Squarespell. This plugin focuses on enhancing user interface components, ensuring calls to action and styling remain consistent with your theme. It's perfect for site owners looking to improve engagement without straying from Squarespace's native editor functionality.
The Squarespell Ultimate Squarespace Plugin Bundle is exactly what it says: every premium Squarespace plugin Squarespell sell, in one purchase, for a good deal less than buying them individually. Our previous listing described it as a navigation plugin, which it is not. The bundle covers product filtering, a mega menu, video carousels, animated counters, countdown bars, hover effects and more, all for Squarespace 7.1 and none of it needing you to write code.
What it includes
Every Squarespell premium plugin, current at the time of purchase, delivered as a single bundle. Squarespell's catalogue at the time of writing includes a slide-out cart, a multi-currency converter, comparison tables, a store locator, an estimated delivery date plugin and a dark mode plugin alongside the filtering, menu, carousel, counter, countdown and hover tools named on the bundle page. Two licences are offered: single website, or multi-use for unlimited websites. Squarespell is also a marketplace, so check the bundle page for the exact contents on the day you buy.
Who it suits
Agencies and freelance designers who build several Squarespace sites a year and would rather own a toolbox than buy plugins one at a time, and business owners planning a full upgrade of an existing site in one go. If you only need one or two of the plugins, buy those individually; the bundle only pays off when you will use a handful.
Trade-offs
Two honest caveats. A bundle tempts you to install plugins you do not need, and every extra script on a Squarespace site costs a little load time and adds a compatibility risk with other custom code, so be selective. And because the plugins are separate products under one licence, you install and configure each one individually; there is no single control panel. The product page listed no customer reviews when I checked, so you are relying on Squarespell's individual plugin pages and their verification process rather than bundle feedback.
How it installs
After purchase you receive the plugin files and instructions for each. Installation is copy and paste into code injection or code blocks, plugin by plugin, so you need a Squarespace plan that allows code injection for most of them. Squarespell publish guides for each plugin on their site.
Related guide: see our roundup of the best Squarespace plugins in 2026, or the beginner's guide on how to add plugins to Squarespace.
This is not a standalone plugin. Slideshow Testimonial Style is a code snippet inside Will's Toolkit, the membership run by Squarespace developer Will Myers, and you need an active Toolkit subscription to open it. What the snippet does is restyle a native Squarespace list section (set to its carousel layout) into a full-width testimonial slideshow: a large image on one side, a coloured card with the person's name, their quote and a button on the other, with circular previous and next arrows below. The content stays in Squarespace's own list section, so clients edit testimonials exactly as they would any other list item.What it includesA CSS snippet with copy buttons, tagged in the Toolkit catalogue under List Section and Testimonials, last updated in April 2025 according to the listing. Because it is CSS over a native section, it inherits your site's fonts and colour theme, and the card colour, radius and spacing follow the usual custom CSS pattern. The membership itself includes the full Code Catalog of over a hundred snippets, the Toolkit browser extension, the Robo-Will AI assistant, a Slack community and a discount on Will's standalone plugins.Who it suitsDesigners who build several Squarespace sites a year and want a library of tested customisations rather than a one-off purchase, and site owners comfortable pasting CSS who want a testimonial slideshow that stays fully editable through the native list section.Trade-offsYou are subscribing to a membership, not buying a plugin, so if you only want this one effect the maths may not work. Custom CSS requires a Squarespace Business plan or higher. And because the styling targets Squarespace's own list section classes, it can need a tweak when Squarespace changes their markup, which is the reason the Toolkit exists in the first place.How it installsAdd a list section to your page, switch it to the carousel layout and add your testimonials as list items with an image, title, description and button. Copy the snippet from the Toolkit catalogue into Design, Custom CSS, and adjust the section ID or colour variables as the snippet notes instruct.Related guide: How to use custom CSS in Squarespace and Best Squarespace plugins in 2026.
A Squarespace blog is a single scrolling list with no search, sort or filter, which is fine until the archive passes fifty posts. Squarespace Blog Filter from SQS Mods replaces the native listing with a filterable one: readers get an instant search box plus filters for category, tag, author and year, and can switch between three layouts, an equal-card Grid, an editorial Newsroom with a full-width hero post, and an image-led Mosaic. The plugin reads your Squarespace button shape, colours and border radius so the filter bar and cards match your template without CSS work, and dozens of settings control column counts, card heights, image overlays and what appears on each card.Who it suitsSites where the blog is doing real work: course libraries, case studies, news archives, recipe collections and resource hubs where readers arrive looking for a specific topic. It also suits designers who want a magazine-style blog landing page without building it by hand.One honest caveatFiltering is only as good as your tagging. Posts without consistent categories, tags and authors will not sort cleanly, and the year filter assumes your archive spans more than one. This is a substantial plugin with a lot of options, so allow time to configure it, and it is built for Squarespace 7.1 blog pages using custom code, which requires a Business plan or higher.InstallationSQS Mods supply a configurator that builds the code from your chosen layout and filter settings. Installation is two code blocks pasted into the blog page header code injection following their instructions.
