Squarespace Customization Q&A: How to Personalize Your Site Without Making It Look Like a Circus

You want a unique Squarespace site that screams “YOU,” but you’re also terrified of making it look like a digital clown college. I’ve got answers.

Q: How do I pick a template that fits my brand?

A: Start with something minimal that highlights what matters most—your images, your copy, your products. You can tweak colors, fonts, and layouts later. Pick a template that doesn’t fight you at every turn.

Q: How many fonts and colors is too many?

A: If your page looks like a rainbow threw up on it, that’s too many. Stick to two or three colors and maybe two fonts max. Less visual chaos = more professional vibe.

Q: What about custom code?

A: If you’re code-savvy, go for it—but tread lightly. A single line of janky code can ruin your layout. If you’re not confident, leave the coding to pros (like us). The goal is to enhance, not break your site.

Q: How can I make my brand personality stand out?

A: Use your voice in the copy. Add images that reflect your brand’s style. Incorporate a subtle logo animation if it’s your jam. Just remember, personality should never sabotage usability.

Q: How do I know if I’ve gone too far?

A: Ask a friend to browse your site. If they look confused or start squinting like they’re reading hieroglyphs, dial it back. Your site should guide visitors, not make them feel lost.
