There are many themes to choose from when it comes to Squarespace. However, not all of them are created equal.
Some are better than others, and some are more popular than others. Here is a look at how many themes there are, and what makes each one special.
-
1. Themes from the official Squarespace library
There are currently 97 themes in the official Squarespace library. This number changes occasionally as new themes are added and old ones are retired. Themes in the library are categorized by industry and style.
This makes it easy to find a theme that’s right for your business or project.
Squarespace themes are constantly being updated with new features and design improvements. All themes in the library are responsive, meaning they’ll look great on any device. And, all themes include free hosting, 24/7 support, and a 14-day trial.
2. Premium themes from third-party designers
In addition to the themes in the Squarespace library, there are also premium themes available from third-party designers. These themes typically cost more than those in the library, but they offer even more customization options and features.
When choosing a premium theme, it’s important to make sure it’s compatible with the version of Squarespace you’re using.
Not all themes work with every version of Squarespace, so be sure to check before you buy.

3. Custom-designed themes
If you can’t find a theme you love from either the Squarespace library or from a third-party designer, you can always have a custom theme designed just for you. This is an especially good option if you have specific design requirements or need a very unique look for your website.
4. How to choose the right theme for your website
With so many choices available, how do you know which theme is right for your website? Here are a few things to consider:
-
Purpose of your website:
- Are you selling products or services? Do you need a blog?
Do you need an online portfolio? Knowing the purpose of your website will help you narrow down your choices. - What kind of design do you like? Do you prefer clean and simple designs or something more elaborate?
Do you want a lot of color or just a few accent colors? Deciding on your design preferences will help you find a theme that matches your taste. - What kind of features do you need? Do you need ecommerce functionality? Social media integration?
A contact form? A calendar? Again, knowing what features you need will help you narrow down your choices.
