Top 10 Squarespace Plugins for Enhancing Your Design
Squarespace is well-known and loved for its customization options. In just a few clicks, you can create a website that isn’t just fully functional but makes your business stand out from the crowd!
However, did you know there are additional Squarespace plugins available that will make your website truly unique? Here are our ten favorite Squarespace plugins for transforming the design of your site.
1. Squarespace date picker (Beyondspace)
Offer delivery slots to shoppers? Squarespace doesn’t have its own date picker functionality, but this Squarespace plugin makes life easier for both your customers and you.
Fully customizable, you can easily create your own delivery rules, define cutoff times for same-day delivery, and block dates where you’re unavailable.
2. Customized call-to-action buttons (Spark Plugin)
A compelling call-to-action button is a must if you want customers to buy your products, sign up for your mailing list, or give you their contact information.
This code-free plugin means you can enhance any button on your Squarespace site. Add an animated gradient, a modern rounded edge, or even some festive Christmas snow… the choice is yours.
3. Animated gradient background (Spark Plugin)
There’s nothing more mesmerizing than a scrolling, animated, gradient background. This Squarespace plugin makes it easy to add the gradient background of your choice to the page of your choice.
Click to add, choose your colors, and you’re ready to go!
4. Gallery block workaround for Squarespace 7.1 (Beyondspace)
One of the frustrating things about Squarespace 7.1 is that you can’t add gallery blocks to normal pages. However, we’ve come up with an easy and free fix.
Add this Squarespace plugin to your footer code, and you can include gallery sections on any page of your website, including collection landing pages, footers, and portfolio sub-pages.
5. Scroll indicator icons (Spark Plugin)
When you have a lot of critical information on a page, it’s crucial to encourage your customers to read all the way to the bottom.
An animated scroll indicator gently entices your page viewers to keep scrolling, maximizing the chances of that all-important conversion. Whether your Squarespace website design is contemporary or more traditional, you’ll find a scroll indicator that matches the style of your site.
6. Hover reveal effects (Spark Plugin)
As the old saying goes, a picture tells a thousand words. However, if you need the photos and images on your site to do more, this Squarespace plugin is the perfect choice.
With this plugin, you can transform your images when you hover over them. Swap out an image with another image, or add a text overlay to a photo to give your page visitors more context. You can even add a button to encourage clicks and conversions.
7. Date format changer (Beyondspace)
Want to change the date format on your blog posts, for example, to include the day or the hour? Unfortunately, there isn’t an easy way to alter it beyond the standard MM/DD/YY.
This simple Squarespace plugin lets you alter your date to suit your specific needs. Copy and paste it into your footer, and that’s all there is to it.
8. Inset lists and carousels (Spark Plugin)
This code-free Squarespace plugin enhances your photos and adds even more fantastic functionality.
Add text and clickable buttons to any photos, whether in a carousel or slideshow. We recommend using this plugin on your blog or meet the team page to provide your web users with more information.
9. Improved dropdown menu (Spark Plugin)
While the original Squarespace dropdown menu does the job, there’s definitely room for improvement. This plugin provides additional functionality and makes the menu more visually appealing.
Change the color of the menu, soften the corners, add shadows and borders, and even change the link style… this Squarespace Plugin provides hundreds of different combinations of options.
10. Lightbox Studio (Beyond Space)
Squarespace’s lightbox functionality lets your page visitors look at your photos in close detail, but this innovative Squarespace plugin takes things to the next level.
Zoom in and out of photos easily with just a pinch of the fingers, or swipe to different pictures without clicking in and out. This plugin gives your visitors even more control and enhances the user experience.
