Fading Banner Slideshow enhances Squarespace 7.1 with dynamic carousels and sliders that engage visitors without the hassle of custom code. This plugin offers touch-friendly swiping, customizable timing, and mixed media options, making it a go-to for marketers wanting to showcase stories or products effectively. It streamlines media presentation while keeping user interaction in mind.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Revamp your Squarespace site with a stunning glass effect for notifications. This user-friendly plugin ensures your updates are not only visually appealing but also highly customizable. Ideal for businesses and creatives, it enhances user engagement across devices while providing a seamless experience without technical hassles. Elevate your online presence effortlessly!

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.

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.

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.

Enhance your Squarespace site with a dynamic scrolling text plugin that captivates visitors and boosts engagement. Ideal for businesses and creatives, this tool offers easy customization and mobile responsiveness, ensuring your content shines on any device. Elevate your digital presence while maintaining a professional layout that reflects your unique brand identity.

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.

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.

Elevate your online presence effortlessly with this essential Squarespace enhancement.

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.

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.

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.

What it isPopups on Squarespace usually mean either the platform's limited promotional popup or a third-party service with someone else's branding and a monthly bill. Popup by Will Myers is a modal component for Squarespace 7.1 that takes the approach I consistently rate: the popup's content is pulled from any Squarespace page you choose.What it doesYou build a normal page in the Squarespace editor, and the plugin opens that page's content in a modal. An announcement, an offer, a signup form with a native Form Block, a video or a full designed layout can all become a popup, and you edit it the way you edit any other page. Will's examples include a contact page, an autoplay video and a List Section. Video Blocks with native, YouTube and Vimeo video are supported, and autoplay works with native Video Blocks. Basic styling options keep the modal frame on brand.Who it suitsShops running promotions, service businesses collecting enquiries or newsletter signups, and designers handing sites to clients who need to change the popup content themselves later without touching code.Honest caveatsWill notes that popup pages containing third-party code may not render properly inside the modal, and compatibility with other custom code is not guaranteed, so test on a heavily modified site. Support is best effort for the first 60 days and covers universal technical issues rather than bespoke customisation. It requires a Core (Business) plan or higher because it uses code injection.SetupInstallation is copy and paste code with a walkthrough video. After that, all editing happens in the standard editor. A single licence covers one site; the Business licence covers unlimited sites and templates built for sale.Related guide: see where it sits among the best Squarespace plugins in 2026, read our beginner's guide to adding plugins to Squarespace, or browse the full plugins collection.

Squarespace navigation folders go one level deep, and that ceiling arrives quickly: a site with several blogs, portfolio categories or service areas ends up flattening its structure into one crowded dropdown. Will Myers' Nested Menu Dropdowns plugin removes the ceiling by adding a second level of dropdown folders to your menu navigation, so folders can contain folders and your menu can finally mirror how your content is actually organised. Installation is copy-and-paste with a video, the plugin is automatically maintained as Squarespace changes, and licensing follows the usual Will Myers pattern: a single-site licence, or a multi-use licence covering unlimited websites and templates for sale.See the other navigation upgrades we rate in our guide to the best Squarespace mega menu and navigation plugins.

AccoTabs handles the two layouts Squarespace never shipped properly, accordions and tabs, in a single plugin with a clever third mode: Auto-Adapt switches tabs into stacked accordions based on the visitor's screen width, so mobile takes care of itself. Content can be pulled dynamically from a Blog or Portfolio page, with thumbnail images available inside tab titles, and behaviour options include limiting accordions to one open panel at a time or enabling hover-activated tabs. Customisation runs through a built-in CSS generator with no coding required, and installation is a copy and paste snippet. $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.

Enhance your Squarespace site with a sleek scrolling icon that captivates visitors and boosts engagement. This plugin is perfect for creatives and businesses looking to showcase their work dynamically. With easy customization and mobile responsiveness, it ensures a seamless experience across all devices, making your online presence truly stand out.

Squarespace's native accordion block is text only, which is exactly the limitation Will Myers built this plugin to remove. Accordion Dropdown Pro lets you place whole Squarespace sections inside each dropdown, so images, video, audio, buttons and forms can all sit behind a collapsible heading. You get six style presets, support for multiple accordions on a page, and the option to add accordions to product detail pages, which is a tidy way to handle sizing, shipping and returns info. Once installed, you edit the content in the normal Squarespace editor rather than touching code. Installation is copy-and-paste with a video walkthrough, and support covers the first 60 days.It also features in our roundup of the best Squarespace 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.
