Last updated on December 23, 2022 @ 9:25 am

Creating a custom template for your Squarespace website is a great way to give your site a unique look and feel. There are a few different ways to go about creating a custom template, and the method you choose will depend on your level of HTML and CSS knowledge.

If you’re comfortable working with HTML and CSS, then the easiest way to create a custom template is to create a new HTML file and add the following code:

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
Your content goes here..
</body>
</html>

You can then upload this file to your Squarespace account and select it as your custom template. If you’re not comfortable working with HTML and CSS, then there are a few Squarespace templates that you can use as a starting point for your own custom template. These templates can be found in the “Templates” section of your Squarespace account.

PRO TIP: This article is outdated and no longer reflects current Squarespace features or best practices. If you’re starting a new site on Squarespace, we recommend you use one of our modern, fully-responsive templates. If you’re looking to convert an existing site to Squarespace, we recommend our Legacy Conversion Service.

Once you’ve found a template that you like, you can then customize it to match your own style and preferences. To do this, simply click on the “Customize” button in the template preview window. This will take you to the Squarespace editor, where you can make changes to your template.

Making changes to your Squarespace template is easy with the drag-and-drop editor. Simply click on an element and drag it to where you want it to go. You can also add new elements by clicking on the “Add” button in the left sidebar.

When you’re happy with your changes, simply click on the “Save” button at the top of the page. Your new custom template will then be saved and applied to your Squarespace website.

Conclusion:

Creating a custom Squarespace template is a great way to give your website a unique look and feel. If you’re comfortable working with HTML and CSS, then you can create a custom template by creating a new HTML file and adding the appropriate code.
