Over the past several months we've made a tremendous effort to continually improve the Squarespace experience. We've released beautiful new templates, expanded our help system, and built in powerful features like slideshows that you've always wanted. Today, we're thrilled to push that effort even further and offer a colossal update to all areas related to templates in Squarespace.
13 TEMPLATE REDESIGNS, 85 NEW STYLES, 2 BRAND-NEW TEMPLATES
Our templates have served us well over the years, but the time has come to reinterpret the Squarespace classics and improve our entire collection. In this release, we redesigned every template in the system, top to bottom. We explored everything — color, fonts, button styles, key art, and the overall proportion — to ready our templates for an evolving web and far beyond. In addition to the 13 template redesigns with 85 new styles, 2 brand-new templates (Principle and Transfigure) are included in this update.
GOOGLE WEB FONTS – ALL OF THEM
You asked for Google's complete web font library, and here it is. Over 300 fonts are now fully integrated within Squarespace, giving you an unprecedented selection of fonts to choose from. There’s nothing for you to install, no Javascript to add, no CSS to write. Everything is available within the Fonts, Colors & Sizes menu. It's like magic.
DEVELOPER-FRIENDLY CSS EDITOR
As web designers and developers, we know how limiting it could be to write and edit CSS within a small window. Now you can do it all within our beautiful new editor; pop out the entire window and see everything at once. The new editing toolbar allows you to find & replace, undo & redo (even post-save), insert style variables, and format your code like a pro. 3 new color themes are also available for easy-on-the-eyes editing.
AND MUCH MORE...
- Add style to your blog post elements with 8 new icon sets, available in both black and white and 4 different sizes.
- Keep the background image but change the color thanks to alpha-transparent PNGs available in many of the redesigned templates.
- Customize buttons in the new styles, like “search” and “submit”, right within Fonts, Colors & Sizes.
There’s a lot to explore within Style mode and you can access the full set of features right away. Enjoy!
