10+ Examples of Wonderful Squarespace Websites
In today’s software
Olympics, websites happened to be the most commonplace in any business, under
the sun. To have a virtual monopoly over your business, a nice looking website
with a friendly user interface is a must. Though there are umpteen website builders
available in today’s market to cater to our online business needs, choosing the
right fit is essential, as they hold the potency to make or break your
business. Squarespace earned an undisputed reputation as one of the most robust
and reliable website builders around. In this post, we want to bring to light
some of the best websites ever designed and developed using Squarespace.
Fotio
Do you like olden Goldies?
Then here is a blast from the past. The Chicago based online photo booth, Fotio
is a spectacular Squarespace website with a quaint appearance and sharp
grayscale images. It thus elevates the extraordinariness of ordinary life.
The sharp and tasteful selection of the images combined with clean text makes
it stand apart from the cluster of its competitors. Its austere simplicity
seems to be a deliberate choice in order to avoid unnecessary distractions
for the visitors of the website. This virtual photo booth stands as a perfect
example of the new trend called “less is more” and Squarespace’s tagline
“build it beautiful”.
Cornell Crème
Another Squarespace
website on the list with a minimalistic approach. The decent landing page of
Cornell Creme has two menus at the top left, a video followed by an array of
images before ending with a contact form. A shining example of a one-page
website. It is a proven fact that people can easily assimilate our views if
they are presented in visual form. The designers made the best use of the video
to illustrate their product in a more devouring way. If that is not enough, you
can have a gallery of pics which are nice on the eye.
Lumio
A luminous Squarespace
website comes next in the row namely Hello Lumio. Contrary to the earlier
websites in the list which embraced simplicity, this one is brimming with a rich
flow of color sets and text that attributes soundness to the website. The
website is a stunning sample especially if you want to grab the attention in
less time. The aesthetic lighting in the right proportions and a well-timed
slider on the landing page alongside other effects on mouse hovering calls the
attention of the user in no time. It also offers great flexibility for
localization as you can translate the text into multiple languages.
Egg Shop
The Squarespace website from the NewYork based restaurant Eggshop has
everything to lure and satiate the hunger of eggetarians worldwide. A
background slider with hand-drawn images along with a color combination that is
simple and cool on the landing page offers great scope to address the needs of
hungry jacks. Other things include a mouth-watering egg recipe on the center
spread and as you scroll down there are other delicacies and a cookbook which
is on the shelves now. So the egg lovers will get the centerpiece of what the
website is all about without much digging inside. Of course, the inner pages
enunciate its services and other nitty-gritty.
The Die Line
The Dieline is a heavy Squarespace website with an overload of
information and details that powers the landing page. The website successfully
manages multiple icons, links, and a host of menus without fail. This is a
dazzling example to prove that Squarespace can be stable and handle any weight
that you mount on the website. Yes, unlike with many other website builders in
the market, it won’t break often. The website is said to be the brainchild of
Andrew Gibbs, who is known for his artistic abilities. According to his fan
world, he best knows the nuances of design.
Big Human
The New York-based
product design and development studio, Big Human has its best work laid on
its homepage to attract its customers. The vertically aligned menu brings
some variance to the regular monotonous look. Though the website gives you a
diminishing feel at the instance of landing on the home page, it slowly picks
up the colors and shades as you scroll down. The lightweight website avoids huge
raster images and unnecessary graphics. Instead, it uses pleasant vector images
that help the page to load easily. If it happens to be your source of
inspiration and matches to your draft, then take it without delay.
Expensify
Expensify offers simplified services in managing your expenses and the
company has a clarion call on its a website too, it seems. Expensify website
unveils many great features of Squarespace with a unique layout. The long
scrolling makes the visitor stay there for a while whilst admiring its
attention to detail. Arriving on it’s Home Page, the simple sign up option
welcomes the customer base. Despite the great stuff spilled all over the page,
the good breathing space between sections combined with the smooth navigation
without any glitches ensures the retention rate. The menus are placed at the
footer, just for a change. Very neat and crispy illustration throughout.
Maravillas
If your website is
running out with manifold menus than normal, this website sample is just intended
for you. The menus span three rows and more. Maravillas Squarespace website
deals predominantly with menus and maps, but then you can customize it for your
requirements. The users can have an uninterrupted tour of maps or other galleries
of items with this template till they find their desired one. Each menu is
clear and is clickable with a good font style. This is a good sample to show
that even with a little bit of effort you could build a reasonably concrete
Squarespace website.
UberEats
If you think that Squarespace is for mediocre business people you are
probably misconstrued. Many International firms and top-notch companies also
use Squarespace for their web presence. Take UberEats, for instance. The food
delivery giant espouses Squarespace to design their simple and sweet Desktop/mobile
applications and thus address their online needs. Kudos to the designers for cool and innovative animations. The rest including the navigation between
menus, the image slider, background slider, and the overall performance of the
application are, of course, world-class and stood to the brand’s reputation
globally. Establishing a food delivery app could never be so easy.
Indian Gardens
Indian Gardens holds a long history in serving various communities in
fulfilling their multiple needs ever since 1947. From morning coffee to late-night chilled beers it offers an array of services and such esteemed businesses
require a high-quality website. Because of this reason, it built a Squarespace
website with a gentle slider on its the home page. The website put a landscape
image showing a clutch of eggs the first thing on its page as the page
mentioned it’s a sale. Scrolling down there is another landscape image of black
coffee greeting us. The designers even integrated the online shopping feature
which is the most common these days and which of course Squarespace has very
much in store.
Knapsack
Another Squarespace website that stands apart with a plethora of
features such as random image slideshow, popup images, beautiful text fonts,
color sets, and small yet cute icons. The home page encompasses five menus at
the center top and few logo designs below with text pop-ups placed in every
section. The design certainly deserves applause as it has every feature in it that
is praiseworthy. All the pop-ups are clickable and working. This shows the error-prone quality of Squarespace. Although the
images are sharp and rich, we can see that they seldom affect the page loading.
Of course, many images are loading as we scroll down.
New Inc
New Inc is next
generation Squarespace website in every respect. The website boasts of a high
voltage community of aspirants and ambitious people from art, design, and technology.
And the website says it all upfront and upright. In this case, the designers
just provided the basic skeleton to keep the main focus of the readers on the
content. Because of this reason the skin and theme are plain without much
flashy colors and animations. However, the images are outspoken and stolen
total credit. The design just plays an anchor role. But it did the job
efficiently and effectively.
Spoken Layer
Spoken Layer is another
Squarespace website that boasts of its huge client base. It looks upon them
with justifiable pride. They find Squarespace flexible to enunciate their
client list so they opted for it. The home page more than anything else brags
about their happy clientele and there are reasons more than one for Spoken
Layer to be a happy lot with their Squarespace website as it allows them to
beat their own drums and blow their own trumpets like a TomTom beater. Anyway,
this template is for those who want to shed the light mainly on their clients
and customers before anything else. By the way, it was designed using
Squarespace’s York template.
Devon Stank
Devon Stank is not a
firm or a company. Yes, Devon Stank is a Harrisburg PA-based web developer who
has developed his portfolio using Squarespace with Mercer template. The home
page of the website runs a video in the background with clickable menu items,
one of which even allows us to download his resume. A carefully crafted website
(yes, there goes a lot of effort and thought as we can see it) that can offer some
inspiration to the designers and developers out there to sit and build their
own portfolio. However, on the brighter side, it wouldn’t take much time if you
have hands-on with Squarespace.
