1,245 Best Squarespace Website Examples

Squarespace gives you gorgeous templates out of the box, so every site starts from the same polished place. What separates the best Squarespace websites? I ran every one here through Claude. Bright, punchy colour choices showed up far more often than across any other platform in the gallery. But the sites that pull it off pair those colours with white or cream backgrounds so nothing fights for attention. Compare the examples below and notice how the best ones let one or two strong colours do all the work.

Best Squarespace website examples skip the product shot

Product mockups appear on just 3.3% of these best Squarespace website examples, compared with 12.2% across the gallery as a whole. That is a steep drop for a platform often associated with shop templates, and it points to what this page actually rewards: photography, not staged product renders. Of the sites measured for hero media, photography dominates at 77.1%, and the examples bear this out. Center for Modern RelationshipsRelationship and sex therapy website — modern, elegant, warm therapy aesthetic in deep navy, terracotta, and cream. "Modern therapy for fulfilling relationships.", KAWI (CrossFit)Moody, high-contrast CrossFit gym website with bold, layered typography in olive, cream, and white. "KAWI CROSSFIT", Myriad PrestigeHigh-end carpentry and construction website — premium, minimalist dark-mode design in black, white, and grayscale. "We specialize in crafting exquisite spaces", and ElectriK NeedleTattoo parlor website — clean, minimal typography design in white, black, and teal. "ELECTRIK NEEDLE TATTOO" all lead with a photography-led hero rather than a mockup. For a builder, the lesson is direct: a strong photo carries more weight in this niche than a rendered product frame, even when the site is selling something tangible.

Light backgrounds punch above their weight

Light-toned backgrounds sit at 19.2% here versus 11.3% gallery-wide, nearly double the norm. This doesn’t unseat near_white, which still leads the field at 49.4%, but it does mean this page draws far more heavily from the soft, warm-neutral end of the spectrum than typical Squarespace sites. Inspire Within TherapyCalming, nature-inspired mental health therapy website with organic typography and sage green palette. "INDIVIDUAL TELEHEALTH THERAPY FOR ADULTS IN ILLINOIS & NEW YORK", DJ Abby DurenMusic artist portfolio website with psychedelic purple and white swirl pattern, bold blackletter typography, and cutout photo of DJ Abby Duren. "ABBY DUREN", KinLuxury travel website — minimal, editorial serif design in warm earth tones. "A New Generation of Travel", and Adventure SmarterLuxury travel planning website with elegant, editorial serif and script typography in warm beige, navy, and coral tones. "Travel Smarter. Connect Deeper. Enjoy More." all sit on light backgrounds rather than stark white, giving their photography a gentler frame. Builders chasing a calmer, less clinical feel than pure white should treat light backgrounds as a legitimate, well-represented choice here rather than a compromise.

Vibrant color shows up nearly one in four times more than usual

Vibrant saturation registers at 21.9% on this page against 15.2% across the gallery, even though muted remains the dominant profile at 56.7%. That gap matters: it shows this collection has more tolerance for saturated color than the platform’s baseline, without abandoning restraint as the default. MN Climbing Co-opVolunteer-run bouldering co-op website with bold, community-driven design in cerulean blue and navy. "Volunteer run, for climbers by climbers.", DJ Abby DurenMusic artist portfolio website with psychedelic purple and white swirl pattern, bold blackletter typography, and cutout photo of DJ Abby Duren. "ABBY DUREN", and Ludom StorageSelf-storage website — clean, approachable serif typography design in red and white. "Personal and Business Storage" all run vivid palettes, proving that a punchier color approach can coexist with the photography-first, square-and-pill button conventions (41.4% and 39.7% respectively) that otherwise define these designs. For anyone building in this space, muted is still the safe baseline, but vibrant is no longer a rare outlier.
