My Most Recommended Plugins & Tools
The Squarespace platform offers an elegant website presentation that is easy to manage right out of the gate. But, after you’ve been an official website owner for a while, you might get that itch to customize it to personalize it and offer functionality that better fits your offering. You can do that with custom code, which I utilize in some fashion for most of my builds, but plugins are a great option for the beginner as knowledge of coding isn’t required and, sometimes, it’s just better to not reinvent the wheel and utilize solutions someone else has already perfected.
The following are tried-and-tested, go-to favorites I’ve used on many websites and were created by developers I trust and who offer no-charge updates when the Squarespace platform has changed and great customer support.
Multi-Language Translator
Weglot automatically detects and translates all of your website content, including pages, blog posts, menus, and ecommerce products and your checkout.
Popup (Lightbox) Anything
Create pop-ups from buttons, links, images and galleries in minutes.
Blog Filter
Filter and sort any data on your Squarespace site such as you see on my portfolio page.
Mega Menu
Add a bit of flair to the standard Squarespace navigation with images and multiple levels.
Age Gate
This age verification plugin was created with businesses in the alcohol, cannabis, and CBD industries in mind to satisfy legal requirements for access. I recently used this plugin for Fosforo Mezcal’s new website.
Affiliate Links
Peachs is the leading referral and affiliate software for Squarespace Commerce.
COMMUNITY FORUM & LIVE STREAMING
Host discussions and live streams all in one place, all under your own brand.
Quizes
Typeform offers engaging and interactive forms, surveys, and quizzes with a conversational interface where users see one question at a time, making the experience more engaging and leading to higher completion rates.
ADA Accessibility
Website accessibility is a legal expectation in many public-facing industries. Ensuring your site works for people with disabilities promotes inclusivity and equal access to information and services for all users. accessiBe is a widget that can help your website comply with accessibility guidelines and regulations, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
Privacy Policy
