Frequently Asked Questions

Each template is a professionally designed Squarespace 7.1 site that provides a complete structure, layout, and page flow. After purchase, the template is delivered to your Squarespace account where you can customize the content, colors, fonts, and images to match your brand.
After purchase, you will choose how you would like your template delivered.
If you select New Site, the template will be added to your Squarespace account as a separate website with a three month free trial. Once you accept the invitation link, the new site will appear in your Squarespace dashboard and be ready for customization.
If you select Install into Existing Site, the template pages will be added to the Not Linked section of your current Squarespace 7.1 website. Your domain, subscription, and existing content will remain unchanged, and you can customize the new pages directly within your existing site.
Both delivery options are included with your template purchase at no additional cost.

You have two delivery options, and you will choose how your template is applied after purchase.
If you choose New Site, the template will be added to your Squarespace account as a separate website. This gives you a fresh starting point while keeping your existing site intact. You can move over any pages or content you want to keep. When you are ready to go live, you will connect your domain and activate a Squarespace subscription for the new site.
If you choose Install into Existing Site, the template pages will be added to the Not Linked section of your current Squarespace 7.1 website. Your domain, subscription, and existing content will remain unchanged. You will then replace the placeholder content with your own and decide when to publish the new pages.

Yes. Customization services are available for an additional fee and can include branding, page setup, and content assistance. Availability is limited and offered on a project basis.
-
Your Squarespace template includes a three month free Squarespace trial, giving you time to customize your site before committing to a subscription.
When you are ready to publish your website, or when the trial period ends, you will need to choose a Squarespace subscription plan. The plan you select will depend on how you plan to use your site.
If your website is informational or service based, a standard Squarespace plan is typically sufficient. If you plan to sell products or services through a shop, a Business or Commerce plan may be required depending on the features you need.
If you already have a Squarespace website and decide to use your template as a separate site, a new subscription will be required for the template site. Squarespace subscriptions cannot be transferred between websites.
You will also need a domain name to publish your site. Domains are typically purchased separately and pricing varies based on availability and demand. If you already own a domain, it can be connected to your new site when you are ready to launch.
Squarespace may offer a free domain when purchasing an annual subscription, depending on your plan and eligibility.

Yes. All Oak and Ledger templates are built on Squarespace 7.1 and support blogging, e commerce, and portfolio pages.
You can add a blog to publish written content, images, videos, or other media, and schedule posts to go live when you are ready. Squarespace includes built in tools to manage posts and view basic analytics so you can track engagement over time. Some templates include a blog layout by default, and others allow you to easily add one.
You can also add a shop to sell physical products, digital products, services, or subscriptions using Squarespace Commerce. A Business plan or higher is required to enable e commerce features. Squarespace works well for simple, streamlined online stores and service based businesses, but may not be the best fit for high volume or highly complex e commerce needs.
Portfolio pages can be added to showcase your work, services, or projects. These sections are flexible and can be customized to fit your content, whether you are highlighting case studies, client work, or visual examples.

The templates are designed with SEO best practices in mind from a structural standpoint. This includes clean layouts, logical page hierarchy, and mobile responsive design that supports strong search performance.
Because each template functions like any standard Squarespace 7.1 website, your SEO results will ultimately depend on how you customize and use it. This includes adding relevant keywords to your page content, writing clear page titles and descriptions, optimizing URLs, and uploading properly sized and named images.
If you are redesigning or moving from an existing website, it is normal to see temporary changes in search visibility. With thoughtful setup and consistent optimization, performance typically stabilizes and improves over time, especially when URLs are kept consistent to avoid broken links.
The templates provide a strong foundation, but ongoing SEO success comes from the content and strategy you apply as your site grows.

Due to the digital nature of website templates, all sales are final. Please review template details carefully before purchasing.

The good news about website templates is that they are endlessly customizable. If you love the layout and structure but need to swap out the wording, colors, or images to fit your brand, you can make it completely your own. Every template is a starting point, not a final answer.
