What it isClippy 2.0 from SQS Mods adds a floating menu to a Squarespace 7.1 site: a compact set of links that stays on screen as the visitor scrolls, giving them a way to jump to your shop, your contact form or a booking page without scrolling back to the header. The name is a nod to the old Microsoft Office paperclip, though this one only appears when you want it to.What it doesThe menu sits in a corner of the page behind a small icon (the plus symbol by default, or one of your own) and opens into a list of links. SQS Mods give you control over the colours and corner radius of the popup navigation, the font size and colours of the menu items, the width and height of the popup and of the icons, and a choice of hover effects. No coding knowledge is needed beyond following the instructions and pasting the code in.Who it suitsLong-scrolling sites where the main navigation disappears off the top: online shops, portfolios with a lot of work on one page, and blogs where you want a persistent route to a newsletter signup or a key offer. It is a good fit for a one-page site that still needs a few clear calls to action.One honest caveatA floating element takes up permanent screen space, and on a phone that space is scarce. Keep the menu to a handful of links and test it against your cookie banner and any chat widget so they are not fighting over the same corner.SetupThe plugin is supplied as code you add to your Squarespace 7.1 site following SQS Mods' instructions, then configured with your links and styling. Custom code normally requires a plan that allows code injection, so check your plan before buying.Related guide: SQS Mods build their plugins from problems that came up on real client sites, which we cover in why every SQSMODS plugin starts with a real client problem.

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 unique custom icons to your Squarespace accordion block, enhancing visual engagement while keeping the original arrow or plus sign. This plugin is designed for Squarespace 7.0, 7.1 CE, and 7.1 FE, catering to designers needing precise control over grid layouts and section composition without the hassle of complex workarounds.
A Squarespace blog gives readers "older" and "newer" links and not much else, which is fine for a dozen posts and painful for two hundred. Squarespace Pagination from Squarewebsites replaces that with numbered page links, so a reader can jump straight to page eight, or back to the start, without clicking through everything in between. The styling is customisable to match your site, and the controls work on mobile as well as desktop.Who it suitsEstablished blogs with a deep archive, news and magazine style sites, and any Squarespace site where the collection page has become the main way people browse. We would also consider it for a resources or tutorials section that keeps growing.One honest caveatNumbered pagination helps people move around an archive, but it does not help them find a specific post. If readers are searching for topics rather than browsing by date, a search or category filter will do more for them than page numbers.InstallationSquarewebsites plugins are supplied as code you add to your Squarespace site following their instructions, with settings for how many page links to show and how they look. Custom code normally requires a plan that allows code injection.
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.

Squarespace's dropdown menus are plain text lists, which starts to creak the moment a site has more than a handful of services or product categories. This plugin's approach is the smart part: you design an ordinary page in your Not Linked section using Squarespace's native editor (images, text, buttons, columns, whatever you like) and the plugin displays that page as a content-rich mega menu when visitors hover the navigation item. Full design control with tools you already know, no coding at any point, and customisation via a built-in style and code generator. $39 as a one-off for a single site, with a $199 agency licence covering unlimited client sites.See what else made our roundup of the best Squarespace plugins in 2026.
The Bluesky Feed Widget enhances the design capabilities of Squarespace by focusing on grid layout, spacing, and reusable section patterns. This plugin allows for precise column and breakpoint control, making it easier for designers to create cohesive and structured sections directly within the Squarespace 7.1 editor, eliminating the need for custom coding.
UniqueInk is a Squarespace 7.1 template sold through the SquareKicker template store and designed by Jen Maher. It is a one-page site for a tattoo studio, and the demo is exactly that: a grunge hero with a Kurt Cobain quote, a premier tattoo studio introduction, four artist cards that link out to each artist's Instagram gallery, a Located in the Heart of Midtown block with the studio address, and an FAQ accordion covering hourly pricing, age rules, deposits, children in the studio, online booking and aftercare. The look is distressed textures, purple and black, and edgy type; Jen Maher pitches it at tattoo studios, salons, musicians and artists who want to look like the alternative rock era, and I would keep it to businesses that genuinely trade on that.What you get
One page layout with anchored About, The Artists, Location and FAQs sections
Squarespace 7.1 with Fluid Engine, so sections are drag and drop in the standard editor
Artist cards with an IG Gallery button each, so portfolios live on Instagram rather than in the site
An FAQ accordion built on the standard Squarespace accordion block, already written for a tattoo studio
Social links for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube in the footer
A purple, black, white and grey palette that changes in the Squarespace style editor
Who it suitsTattoo and piercing studios first, then barbers, alternative salons and small music venues that want a dark, loud one-pager. The FAQ is the useful bit: it answers the questions a studio gets by phone every day, and you edit the answers rather than write from scratch.Honest limitsThere is no booking and no contact form in the demo; enquiries go through the artists' Instagram links or the phone, so add a form block or a booking embed if you want them on the site. There is no gallery of work, no shop for merch or aftercare and no blog. It is one page, and the grunge styling will not translate to a fashion or beauty brand despite older listings saying so: this is a tattoo studio template.How it is deliveredSquareKicker templates install onto a new or existing Squarespace 7.1 site the moment you buy, with a choice of Use Template Styles or Keep Existing Styles, so it can go onto a live site without wiping your fonts and colours. It is a one-off purchase for one site (a new licence per client project), no SquareKicker subscription is needed to keep using it, and a 30-day trial of the SquareKicker Extension and 10 per cent off a Squarespace plan are included. You need a Business or Core plan or higher to publish, and SquareKicker does not refund digital products.Related guide: compare it with the alternatives in our Squarespace templates for small businesses collection, or browse every template we list in the Squarespace templates hub.

Event Page Banner Image Styles brings proper banner images to Squarespace 7.1 event pages, with 4 different page layouts to choose from. Event pages are one of Squarespace's plainest templates out of the box, and this plugin gives them the same visual weight as the rest of your site, pulling each banner from the event's own image.You can run one layout across all events or customise individual pages, and everything stays mobile responsive. 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.
What Event Title Formatter (Will's Toolkit) isThis is a code snippet from Will Myers' Code Catalog inside Will's Toolkit, not a standalone plugin. It lets you italicise, bold or otherwise style specific words in event titles on a Squarespace 7.1 site, which the native editor treats as one plain string. The vendor page describes it in one line, italicise, bold or customise specific words in your event title, files it under Events, and dates the last update 1 May 2025. Only paid members can copy the code.The old listing on this page described a general title design tool with layouts and mobile optimisation. It is not that. A typical use is an events page where the event name is italic and the venue in the same title stays upright.Who it suitsExisting Toolkit members and designers who already use the extension on client sites and want typographic control over titles without rebuilding them as text blocks. Subscribing for one snippet makes little sense; the membership earns its keep if you use the extension, Robo-Will and the wider catalog.Honest caveatsYou are paying for a subscription, not a plugin. The styling depends on how Squarespace renders event titles, so a platform change can need an update, and whoever writes new titles must remember the markup convention.SetupLog in to Will's Toolkit, open the snippet and add it through the Toolkit extension or paste it into code injection, which needs a Business (now Core) plan or higher. Membership is billed monthly or annually and covers the extension, every snippet, a personal library, the Robo-Will AI assistant and a Slack community.Related guide: my roundup of the best Squarespace plugins in 2026, or the full plugins collection.
Carlsbad Coach features a professional layout ideal for businesses and creatives on Squarespace 7.1. Its typography promotes readability, while easy customization allows users to adjust aesthetics in Site Styles. Mobile-friendly design accommodates various services or locations, making it a solid choice for those needing a structured approach without extensive manual adjustments.
What Blog Title Formatter (Will's Toolkit) isThis is a code snippet from Will Myers' Code Catalog inside Will's Toolkit, not a standalone plugin. It lets you italicise, bold or otherwise style specific words in blog post titles on a Squarespace 7.1 site, which the native editor treats as one plain string. The vendor page describes it in one line, italicise, bold or customise specific words in your blog title, files it under Blogs, and dates the last update 1 May 2025. Only paid members can copy the code.The old listing on this page described a general title design tool with layouts and mobile optimisation. It is not that. A typical use is an editorial blog where one word of each headline is italic or in an accent colour, as on magazine sites.Who it suitsExisting Toolkit members and designers who already use the extension on client sites and want typographic control over titles without rebuilding them as text blocks. Subscribing for one snippet makes little sense; the membership earns its keep if you use the extension, Robo-Will and the wider catalog.Honest caveatsYou are paying for a subscription, not a plugin.

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.
What Site School isSite School is a self-paced Squarespace tutorial library from Launch Out Loud, a Squarespace template studio. It is pitched at entrepreneurs who want to build, update and launch their own Squarespace 7.1 site without waiting on a designer or piecing together answers from YouTube. The old listing here sold it as a course on high-converting layout and messaging; the vendor's own page describes something more practical: a structured library of how-to videos covering the platform itself.What it coversThe library is split into five sections. Get Started covers opening a trial site, finding your way around the dashboard, choosing a plan and connecting a domain. Squarespace 101 covers the site menu and a walkthrough of the settings panels. Build and Customise is the bulk of the course: site styles, adding and adjusting the different content types, and setting up a blog, shop or podcast. Squarespace Products and Tools covers Scheduling, Email Campaigns, Courses and Invoicing. Launch finishes with basic SEO settings, analytics, privacy law compliance and accessibility before you publish.Who it suitsSite School makes most sense for a business owner who has bought or is about to buy a Squarespace template and wants to be self-sufficient afterwards, or someone building from a blank site who wants one organised place to learn the editor. If you already know Squarespace and want design strategy or conversion copy, this is not that course.One honest caveatLaunch Out Loud includes Site School free with any of its own Squarespace templates, so if you are considering one of their templates, buy the template and you get the course with it. It is recorded on 7.1 Fluid Engine only, and there are no refunds on the course once purchased. The introductory lessons take about an hour, and the rest is a reference library rather than a linear curriculum, which is a strength if you use it that way and a disappointment if you expected a step-by-step build.How you get accessEnrolment is through Launch Out Loud's checkout, with a pay-in-full option and a three-instalment plan. You get lifetime access to the library and any updates the studio adds later.Related guideBrowse the rest of the Squarespace courses listed on SquareLocator, and if you are still deciding on a template first, read my guide on how to choose the right Squarespace template.

The best testimonials most of my clients have never reached Google. They arrived by email, in a sales call debrief or on a feedback form after a project. Common Ninja's Testimonials Slider is a hosted SaaS widget for exactly those quotes: you type or paste them in yourself, add the author's name, role, company, photo and an optional star rating, and the widget displays them as a slider, wall, grid or quote-card carousel on your Squarespace site through a Code block embed.What it includesManual testimonial entry with drag-and-drop ordering, a choice of layouts (horizontal slider, vertical wall, grid and quote-card carousel), several skins (card, minimal, framed quote and photo-prominent), a toggleable one to five star rating per quote, a source icon such as Google, Facebook, LinkedIn or Trustpilot or your own upload, arrow and pagination controls with a fade-edge option, full right-to-left support, colour and font controls, and a custom CSS field. Edits in the dashboard push live without touching the Squarespace page again.Who it suitsService businesses, consultants, agencies and freelancers whose proof is private rather than public, B2B companies whose clients will not review on consumer platforms, and anyone pairing a case study or portfolio piece with a client quote. Placed above a pricing table or near a booking button, three strong quotes do a lot of work.Trade-offsBecause you curate the content, the widget carries less verifiable weight than a live Google Reviews feed; the two are complementary rather than interchangeable. It is a hosted widget with a free tier and paid plans, so the free plan covers one widget with a monthly view limit and Common Ninja branding, and it loads from Common Ninja's servers, adding a third-party script to the page. Squarespace's own list section can already do a simple testimonial carousel, so weigh whether you need the extra layouts and per-quote metadata.How it installsAdd your testimonials in the Common Ninja editor, choose a layout and skin, copy the embed snippet, then add a Code block to your Squarespace page and paste it in. Code blocks are available on all current Squarespace plans, so no Business plan or code injection is needed.Related guide: Elfsight for Squarespace: which widgets are worth it and Best Squarespace plugins in 2026.
Seen is designed for fashion and beauty brands, focusing on essential product displays and engaging lookbook layouts. The template utilizes Squarespace 7.1 to showcase brand imagery strategically across sections, ensuring an organized presentation. Typography leans towards readability, allowing users to establish a clear hierarchy while customizing fonts in Site Styles.
What it covers
Squarespace CSS Mastery is a coding course, not a web design course. The old listing here described it as a class on building Squarespace sites from scratch, which is wrong: it teaches CSS from the ground up using Squarespace as the example platform. Roman, Applet Studio's co-founder and a full stack developer, is the instructor.
The curriculum starts with how HTML and CSS fit together, then goes deep on CSS: the cascade, selectors, responsive techniques and recorded coding sessions applying styles to real elements. A Squarespace-specific section covers where custom CSS lives and how the platform's blocks behave, followed by practical work with the Chrome inspector. The stated outcomes are the things that actually come up in client work: custom typography, fonts, colours and gradients, small animations on standard blocks, and fixing tablet and mobile layouts in Fluid Engine. You also get a library of Squarespace CSS snippets with explanations. A 2025 update added a lecture and hands-on session on using ChatGPT to write, edit and debug CSS, with the emphasis on how to phrase the prompt so the code actually works when pasted in.
Who it is for
Designers who copy snippets from the internet and feel lost when they fail, and anyone who wants full control over how a Squarespace site looks. Applet Studio says it is not for people who already write CSS comfortably, or for people who only want ready-made snippets without learning.
Format and access
Over eight hours of pre-recorded video on Teachable, in lessons of roughly eight to twenty minutes, with all CSS examples included. Access is immediate and self-paced; Applet Studio expects most people to take a couple of months working through it weekly. The first lecture is free to watch before you buy. Sales are final, with no refunds. Optional one to one tutoring with Roman (five sessions over two months) is sold separately.
Where it falls short
Eight hours is a real commitment, and Applet Studio is honest that watching videos will not make you a front end developer: you learn CSS by fixing your own sites. The course is priced modestly, which the vendor explains as a deliberate choice, but it means no community and no live support unless you pay for tutoring. I would pair it with a free CSS refresher and a live client project to practise on.
Related guide: browse every course we list in the Squarespace courses collection, and read my practical guide on how to use custom CSS in Squarespace before you start. I also rank it in our best Squarespace courses in 2026 roundup as the course for learning CSS properly.
Font Zoom Animation enhances the visual storytelling of your Squarespace site by incorporating smooth scroll-triggered animations, hover effects, and intentional interactions. This plugin prioritizes ease of use within the Squarespace 7.1 editor, allowing teams to execute polished motion design without complicated workarounds or hacks.
Tilted Hyperlinks enhances user engagement on Squarespace by offering customizable layouts that are easy to implement. This plugin is perfect for portfolios, e-commerce sites, and landing pages, allowing creators to build unique, mobile-optimized websites without technical skills. A user-friendly interface simplifies the design process, making it ideal for small business owners and artists alike.
Squarespace background videos autoplay silently and loop forever, and visitors get no say in the matter. This plugin from SQPlugins hands control back, adding play/pause and mute/unmute buttons directly over background videos in banners and hero sections, with support for Vimeo, YouTube and natively uploaded video. Button colours, opacity, size and placement (top-left, top-right, bottom-centre and more) are all adjustable through the style generator, unmuting activates the audio without restarting the video, and the icons update in real time to reflect the current state. Beyond the design benefit, a pause control is a genuine accessibility improvement, and opt-in sound opens up what background video can actually do. $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.
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.
What Animated Number Counter isAnimated Number Counter is a bundle of five ready made statistic counters from Squarespell for Squarespace 7.0 and 7.1: the sort of "400+ builds, 12 years, 98% happy clients" row you see on agency and consultant home pages, with the numbers counting up as the section scrolls into view. The old listing here described a generic motion and scroll effects plugin, which this is not. It does one thing, animated number cards, and I have rewritten the page from the vendor listing and the live demo.What it doesYou get five pre-built designs (blue, pink, orange, teal and purple) in a glass style card with hover effects. Each counter animates when a visitor scrolls to it and, because auto-repeat is on, animates again when it scrolls back into view. You can add a prefix or suffix such as %, + or a currency symbol, and change the numbers, labels and icons by editing the text in the snippet rather than writing code. It is plain JavaScript with no jQuery or external dependencies, uses semantic HTML with ARIA labels, and is responsive on mobile and tablet. Squarespell say you can drop several counters into different sections on the same page.Who it suitsConsultants, agencies, coaches, charities and small businesses who want a proof row of figures on a home or about page without building it by hand. It is a small purchase for a small job, and that is the right way to think about it.One honest caveatThis is a code snippet, not an app. Editing the numbers means editing values inside a Code Block, and the five designs are fixed styles rather than a colour picker, so matching your exact brand palette means adjusting the CSS yourself. Squarespell also state on the listing that they checked the product rather than installed it, and there were no customer reviews when I looked. Counters also only earn their place if the numbers are genuinely impressive; three modest figures counting up draw attention to the wrong thing.SetupCopy the snippet into a Code Block on the page where you want the counters and publish. It works on Squarespace 7.0 and 7.1. Code Blocks that run scripts have historically needed a Business (now Core) plan or higher, so check your plan before buying. A single site licence covers one website and a multi-use licence covers unlimited sites, delivered as an instant download with support from Squarespell.Related guideI list Animated Number Counter with the other small effects and interaction snippets in my Squarespace plugins collection, and the bigger picture of what is worth paying for is in my roundup of the best Squarespace plugins in 2026.
