Squarespace 7.1 famously dropped sidebars, and this plugin brings them back with a clever twist: you design one ordinary page as a Master Source, then display its content as a live sidebar on any other pages you choose. Edit the source once and every connected sidebar updates instantly, with no copying and pasting. It supports up to two sidebars per page (distinct left and right), inherits your site's existing fonts and colours, installs via a short snippet in Code Injection, and is customised through a built-in style and code generator. $49 as a one-off for a single site, with a $249 agency licence covering unlimited client sites.See what else made our roundup of the best Squarespace plugins in 2026.
Scroll Away Hero creates a full screen hero that holds attention on load, then fades gracefully away as visitors scroll into the rest of the page. It solves the classic full screen hero trade-off: you get the cinematic opening without permanently sacrificing the top of every page view, because the hero steps aside the moment someone starts exploring.It suits portfolios, studios and brand-led homepages where the first impression carries real weight. Installation is copy and paste code with a video walkthrough, and the plugin is automatically maintained by the developer. See where it sits among the best Squarespace plugins in 2026.

Squarespace has no native countdown timer, which leaves sales, launches and event pages with static text where the urgency should be. This plugin from SQPlugins adds a real-time countdown to any page, running to a specific date or a fixed duration for continuous promotions. The detail that lifts it above an embedded widget is what happens at zero: you can hide the timer, redirect visitors to another page, replace it with custom text, or open a lightbox (with the vendor's Lightbox Anything plugin), so an expired flash sale sends people to the next offer instead of showing a dead clock. Styling runs through the built-in style and code generator with no coding required. $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.
Dark mode stopped being a novelty years ago: visitors expect sites to respect their preference, and some genuinely need it, since light-on-dark reading is an accessibility matter for plenty of people. Squarespace offers nothing native, and Will Myers' Dark Mode plugin fills the gap with a visitor-facing toggle that switches your site between light and dark color themes. The creative bonus is that the two themes can be any color schemes you like, so a brand could toggle between palettes rather than strictly light and dark. There is a live demo to try (password: dark), installation is copy-and-paste with a video, the plugin is automatically maintained as Squarespace changes, and it costs $25 single site or $60 multi-use covering unlimited sites and templates for sale.
Long pages need pacing, and the background is the most underused tool for it. Will Myers' Change Background On Scroll makes your Squarespace section backgrounds transition smoothly as visitors scroll, so a long page reads as a flowing story with distinct chapters rather than a stack of disconnected blocks. It is the kind of effect that makes visitors notice a site feels crafted without being able to say why. Installation is Will's standard copy-and-paste with a video, the plugin is automatically maintained as Squarespace changes, and it costs $25 for a single site or $60 multi-use covering unlimited websites and templates for sale.
Video Element adds a clean, comprehensive video component to your Squarespace site with features the native video block lacks: autoplay as the video scrolls into view, tap to pause, an unmute button, and custom colours to match your branding. It is built for those short, silent-by-default marketing clips that play inline as visitors browse.Worth knowing up front: Squarespace limits self-hosted files to 20MB, which is roughly one minute of 1080p footage, so this element suits short promo clips rather than long videos. Installation is copy and paste code with a video walkthrough, and the plugin is automatically maintained by the developer. See where it sits among the best Squarespace plugins in 2026.
The announcement bar holds one line of text; the Mega Announcement Bar makes it hold anything. Will Myers' plugin turns any Squarespace section into an expandable announcement bar, so clicking the bar reveals a full designed section: an advanced navigation, a rich call to action, an offer with imagery and buttons, whatever you build in the normal editor. It is the announcement bar equivalent of a mega menu, and it comes from the same design philosophy: the content is a real Squarespace section, so editing it never touches code. There is a live demo to try, installation is copy-and-paste, the plugin is automatically maintained as Squarespace changes, and it costs $25 single site or $60 multi-use covering unlimited websites and templates for sale.
Squarespace 7.1 quietly dropped the secondary navigation that 7.0 Brine templates offered, so Will Myers built it back. Add a secondary nav above or below your header, on a single page or site-wide, with links managed from a simple folder in your main navigation.It supports dropdowns, social links, your logo or site title, a CTA button and cart, with multiple styles and a sticky option. For more options, see our best Squarespace navigation plugins roundup and our guide to the best Squarespace plugins in 2026.
Image Zoom & Follow adds magnification to your Squarespace images: as visitors hover, the image zooms and follows the cursor so they can inspect fine detail up close. It is the interaction pattern product photography has used for years, brought to Squarespace where nothing like it exists natively.It suits anyone whose images reward close inspection: artists, photographers, jewellers, print sellers, and product shops. Installation is copy and paste code with a video walkthrough, and the plugin is automatically maintained by the developer. See where it sits among the best Squarespace plugins in 2026.
Site Nav Replacer lets you replace your Squarespace site navigation with a different set of links on any page you choose. The rest of your site keeps its normal menu; the pages you pick get their own. That makes it the practical answer for landing pages that should not leak visitors to the rest of the site, course or member areas that need their own menu, and microsites living inside a main site.Installation is copy and paste code with a video walkthrough, and the plugin is automatically maintained by the developer. For the wider picture on navigation tools, see our roundups of the best Squarespace navigation plugins and the best Squarespace plugins in 2026.
Create engaging, interactive narratives on your Squarespace site with Scrolly-Telling with Sticky Background Images. This plugin offers sticky backgrounds that remain fixed as users scroll, enhancing visual storytelling. Tailor colors and fonts easily to match your brand, making it perfect for creatives and businesses wanting to captivate visitors and boost engagement effortlessly.
Squarespace pushes everything onto a new page: the form, the size chart, the team bio, the product details. Lightbox Anything keeps visitors where they are by opening that content in a popup instead. Any link or button becomes a trigger via a simple hash URL (set the link to #lightbox_contact, for example), and the lightbox can pull in entire pages, specific sections or blocks, external websites, or videos and images by URL. Related items can be grouped into a swipeable slider, styling runs through a built-in style and code generator with no coding required, and support comes directly from the developer. $49 as a one-off for a single site, with a $249 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.
List Sections are among Squarespace 7.1's best layout tools (banners, carousels, tidy card grids), with one built-in flaw: every item is entered by hand and stays frozen until someone remembers to update it. Will Myers' Collection to List Section Sync fixes the flaw at the root by syncing your blog or online store into a List Section automatically. Publish a post or add a product and the section updates itself, so a latest-articles carousel or featured-products banner stays permanently current with zero maintenance. Installation is copy-and-paste with a video, the plugin is automatically maintained as Squarespace changes, and pricing is Will's standard $25 single site or $60 multi-use for unlimited websites and templates for sale.
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.
Will Myers' Image Hotspots plugin puts numbered markers on a Squarespace image, each opening a tooltip when clicked or hovered. It works on standard image blocks and on product detail images, which is the part most alternatives miss: you can annotate a product photo on the product page itself. The demo site shows the range well, with a trainer annotated by feature, a store page, a floor plan and an onboarding walkthrough.
What it includes
Markers you position over any image block or product image, with tooltips that can hold text, images and links (Will calls the richer ones rich tooltips). Style customisations for marker and tooltip appearance, copy-and-paste code, an installation video, and mobile-friendly behaviour so the markers remain usable on a phone. Like all Will's plugins it is Fluid Engine compatible and works on every Squarespace 7.1 site. Two licences: single site, or multi-use for unlimited sites and for templates you sell.
Who it suits
Shops that want to explain product features on the photo rather than in a bullet list, estate agents and architects with floor plans, software companies with screenshot walkthroughs, and any site where a picture needs labelling. I have used this pattern for a furniture maker and for a lab equipment supplier, and in both cases it replaced a long paragraph nobody read.
Trade-offs
Honest caveats: it needs a Core (Business) plan or above because it uses code injection, and Will cannot guarantee compatibility with other custom code. Support is on a best-effort basis for 60 days after purchase and covers the plugin, not individual customisation. Placing markers precisely takes a little care on Fluid Engine, where image sizes change between breakpoints, so check every hotspot on mobile before publishing.
How it installs
Watch the installation video, paste the code into code injection, then add markers by following the markup in the instructions. Will's plugins are maintained as Squarespace changes, and updates are pushed without you re-installing.

The reader who finishes your post is asking a silent question: what else have you got? This plugin from SQPlugins answers it automatically by injecting a Summary Block of related posts, matched from the categories and tags you already assign, with the current post sensibly excluded from its own recommendations. Matching is genuinely flexible: the default mixed mode uses both categories and tags, or you can filter by category only or tag only, and switch category matching between strict (every category must match) and loose (any shared category). No coding required, styling via the built-in style and code generator. $29 as a one-time payment for a single site, or $149 for an agency licence covering unlimited client sites.See what else made our roundup of the best Squarespace plugins in 2026.
The Open Blog Posts In New Window plugin lets Squarespace users enable blog posts to open in new windows, enhancing navigation and user engagement. This feature allows visitors to explore additional content without leaving the current page, making it ideal for bloggers and businesses looking to keep readers engaged while providing easy access to related articles.
Split Layout Design For Sections turns a standard Squarespace 7.1 section into a true split screen layout, with independent content on each side and support for sticky behaviour where one side stays fixed while the other scrolls. That last part is the point: Fluid Engine handles basic side by side blocks natively now, but it cannot pin one half of a section in place or scroll long content within it. This plugin can.This listing is the multi-use license, which covers unlimited websites and templates you build for resale. Installation is copy and paste code with a video walkthrough, and the plugin is automatically maintained by the developer. See where it fits in our guide to the best Squarespace plugins in 2026.

What the Squarespace Language Switch Plugin isThe Squarespace Language Switch Plugin from Squarespell adds a language selector to a Squarespace site, backed by Google's own website translator. Visitors pick a language from a flag icon in your header and the page is translated in their browser; you pay once, paste one script, and there is no subscription. The old listing on this page talked vaguely about imports, embeds and workflow helpers for developers, which told you nothing. This is a translation widget, and a fairly opinionated one.What it doesSquarespell generate a script for you from a settings page: you choose which of the 248 Google Translate languages to offer (14 of them right-to-left, including Arabic, Hebrew, Persian and Urdu), a light, dark or automatic theme, your accent colour and whether to show flag icons. The widget then places itself in your header's action row, next to the Social, Cart and Account icons, colour-matched to the header; on older templates it cannot read confidently it falls back to a floating corner badge. Visitors can be switched automatically on their first page load by browser language (on by default) or by country from their IP (optional), or you can turn both off. Because translation happens client-side, your URLs, canonical tags and metadata do not change, and the script only calls Google once a visitor chooses a language. Squarespell say it is built and tested on 7.1 and works on 7.0 using the floating badge, with an illustrated guide, email support and lifetime updates included.Who it suitsSmall businesses, hospitality, tourism and local services with visitors who speak several languages and no budget for professional translation. It also suits designers who want a quick, one-off answer to "can the site be in Spanish too" without a Weglot style monthly fee. If you need properly translated, separately indexed pages for SEO in another market, this is not that, and neither is anything built on Google Translate.One honest caveatThe translations are Google's, so they are machine translations with all the awkwardness that implies, and because they happen in the browser they do nothing for search rankings in other languages. Squarespace checkout is hosted off your domain and is not translated by the widget; it follows the buyer's own browser instead. Code injection needs a Business (now Core) plan or higher, and you need owner or admin access to paste it. Squarespell price the plugin by licence and the price on their page has changed since we first listed it, so check the vendor page before you buy.SetupBuy a single site or multi-use licence, open the generator, choose your languages, theme, colour and detection settings, click Generate and paste the script into code injection under your site's settings. To change anything later you return to the generator, adjust, generate again and paste the new script over the old one. Plan for around twenty minutes.Related guideBrowse every add-on in my Squarespace plugins collection, read my roundup of the best Squarespace plugins in 2026, or start with the beginner's guide on how to add plugins to Squarespace.
