5 Essential Squarespace Tips to Instantly Improve Your Website Design
Squarespace is a powerful platform designed to make stunning websites accessible for everyone—but not all Squarespace sites are created equal. Design matters. From branding to usability, every detail impacts how visitors perceive your business.
At Design by Tavi, I help entrepreneurs and creatives build Squarespace websites that are not only beautiful but also functional and strategic. Whether you’re launching a new site or polishing an old one, here are 5 essential tips to instantly elevate your design.
1. Choose the Right Squarespace Template for Your Niche
Selecting a template that fits your business goals is step one. Whether you're a service provider, artist, or online retailer, choose a layout that highlights what matters most—be it your services, products, or content.
2. Customize Your Fonts and Colors for Brand Consistency
Fonts and colors are your brand's visual voice. Stick to 1–2 fonts and 2–3 cohesive brand colors. Use Squarespace’s Site Styles to make your design consistent and memorable.
3. Use Fluid Engine for Layout Flexibility
With Squarespace 7.1’s Fluid Engine, you can design sections using a responsive grid system. Drag and drop blocks where you need them, overlap strategically, and adjust padding/margins for a truly customized layout.
4. Optimize for Mobile Responsiveness
Mobile views are not optional—most users visit on phones. Use Squarespace’s mobile preview, space out your content, and design for thumb-friendly navigation.
5. Leverage the Power of Summary Blocks
Want to showcase your blog posts, testimonials, or products in dynamic ways? Summary Blocks let you pull that content into other pages with beautiful layouts like grids, carousels, or lists—great for keeping visitors engaged.
