9 Best Squarespace Academic Website Examples
I found the best Squarespace academic websites to share for inspiration. Only 0.1% of reviewed website designs make it onto this list! Each website example includes a tall screenshot, a link to the live site, and the platform it was built on.
This charter school site uses stacked benefit cards and overlapping photo grids to emphasize "Spots Are Filling Fast" enrollment urgency.
This healthcare staffing site structures the career journey as six cyclical steps arranged around a central logo, with "We're With You on Every Step" as the organizing principle.
This college counseling platform sells European alternatives to U.S. universities through free search tools and "Beyond *Traditional* College Counseling" positioned with italic underline emphasis.
This liberal arts college site opens with "You'll Matter Here" over heritage architecture, using gold angular accents and a 9:1 student-to-faculty ratio to signal intimate community.
This emotion education shop displays product cards as square illustrations with bold primary colors and geometric character designs, no rounded corners.
This educational curriculum site uses swooping teal lines and a rotated-diamond image frame to connect hero storytelling to hands-on math projects.
This symposium site positions itself as "Like TED, but better" using full-width mountain photography beneath massive scrolling "KNOWLEDGE IS INFINITE" text.
This edtech site leads with "Expect more." in serif type and positions its value prop as three columns of serif body text emphasizing "human connection at the core."
This edtech site sells exam prep by italicizing "no" in "Exam-Ready in *no* time" and underlining "everything" and "excel with ease" in body copy.
About this collection
This is a collection of websites organized by the platform they are built on, category, and sometimes tags and the creator. They're here for inspiration. Most websites made it into this collection because they have beautiful designs, while others showcase exceptional copywriting or information architecture.
What this page contains
This page showcases 9 website examples built with Squarespace in the Academic category. Each website includes a tall screenshot, a link to the live site, the platform it was built on, and a description (generated with AI).
Quality may vary by category or platform
Some sites aren't an absolute 10/10, but they shine relative to their categorization. For example, categories like Notary or HOA don't reach the same design heights as Designer or SaaS sites. They're still included so people in those industries have relevant references when building their website.
How these websites are picked
While I won't reveal the exact details of my curation process (so competitors can't copy), I can share that:
- They are all organically sourced (i.e., I don't copy other inspiration galleries)
- It's an arduous process to find these gems. I typically review 10,000 sites to discover just 10 worthy additions.
The purpose of this collection
There are two primary reasons people view these website examples:
- To find design, copy, or general website inspiration from similar businesses in their industry
- To explore the capabilities of website platforms before making a decision
Oh yes, and affiliate marketing. I'm part of affiliate programs for some of the platforms, so if you purchase after clicking a link, I may earn a commission.
