Reviews
Thousands of projects, countless hours saved
It's an honor to equip designers around the world, each with unique perspectives and goals in their work. Here's what a few of them had to say.

I’ve looked at a LOT of templates and most are packed with frilly Canva flourishes and quirky fonts. Studio Mesa’s Learnable is one of the most sophisticated I’ve ever seen. It’s quietly elegant while keeping a deep level of customization that takes it way beyond what most templates offer. Best purchase this year.

Retrograde is amazing! When you think about buying Squarespace templates, you want to save you time and be beautiful beyond the standard offerings. Many template brands sell a design and leave you with a lot of work to finalize… Studio Mesa makes it easy. I've purchased every template offered!

As a UI/UX Designer & Developer, I'm very picky when it comes to using someone else's design. Studio Mesa hit a home run with the Parable template. It is MUCH easier to use than other templates I have used in the past and well organized. Along with the quick-to-respond support and help, this is a no-brainer.

Studio Mesa's designs are brilliant and user-friendly, and the customer service is second to none. Aaron is responsive and will happily answer any question you have quickly and efficiently. I'm so happy with my new site, and I can't recommend them enough!

This is my second time purchasing a template from Studio Mesa (but I've bought over 80 from other providers) and their templates are without doubt, the most beautiful, streamlined, clean, and stylish templates on the market! I am SO impressed. Thanks for creating such magic for us to use and share.

I'm in love with this shop! The templates are not only gorgeous but so easy to use. Whether I'm looking for something sleek and professional or fun and creative, I always find the perfect fit. It's made building my clients' websites an absolute breeze.

Why would I use a template?
Building websites from scratch takes a long time, and often is limited to your personal experience of design. With templates, you’ll save at least 10-20 hours of work, and get a seasoned web designer’s customization—often expanding the function of what can be done in Squarespace.

Do I need to be a web designer?
Nope — all of my templates utilize the simple drag-and-drop functionality that put Squarespace on the map, making them incredibly easy to get started with.

How do I pick which one to use?
Generally, it’s best to select a template based on two things: The brand direction, and the features included. While every template is fully customizable to work with any kind of brand or color palette, building your site will be a lot easier if you select a template that’s already pretty close to what you need. Ex: If you need a lot of pages, like serif fonts, and have a neutral color palette in your brand, Parable might be a good choice.

How customizable are templates?
Just as much as a “regular” Squarespace website! Fonts, colors, layouts, blocks, pages, etc. will function just as you’d expect. Please refer to the Squarespace Help Center to learn more about general platform use, and explore the Template Docs page to get more details on template-specific customizations.

Can I use templates on existing sites?
No. Templates are essentially standalone websites that are already fully built out with the design, layouts, and style you see in the demo site. Because templates are not “themes” that can be switched on and off, you’ll have to build your new site from scratch, copying over content from your previous site.

Can I add more pages later?
Yes! The pages you see in SM Templates are just the start — you’re free to duplicate, reuse, and customize them as much as you’d like while still having the flexibility to add more pages later. One-page templates like Handshake and Quantum serve as both an excellent budget-friendly solution, or as a great starting point to expand from.

How do I receive my purchase?
After checkout is complete, you’ll receive an automated email with an invite link to your copy of the template. Once you’ve accepted the invite, all that’s left is to customize and add your content.

What is an Unlimited License?
Every template purchase comes with an unlimited license: This means you can use your template purchase as many times as you’d like. I’d recommend making a duplicate copy of your purchase before using it for a project so that if you need to reference the original it’s still available.
