Hey everyone 👋🏽
I'm the guy behind SqspThemes.com, the largest directory of 3rd party Squarespace templates.
I launched the site back in 2015 as a marketing case study. I'd been been struggling as a freelancer and decided I needed to niche down and build something that could ultimately liberate me from client work.
Since then we've empowered tens of thousands of Squarespace users and advised plenty of fellow entrepreneurs on the same path.
Happy to be here and a part of this helpful community. 

 

Hi, my name is Shereese and I am currently starting a safe haven for those who feel unheard, discarded, and unaccepted. Based on my own experience and the trials I had to face mentally, my goal is to inspire, encourage, and help boost the confidence in those that feel like they are the "underdogs" of society.
I would like to do this by sharing what I've learned and how making the change mentally has finally given me a sense of happiness without the outside additives. I want to show those that have given up on themselves and the world that by going within and naming their truth they will be able to purge, heal, and discover their most truest them or "their most unicorn selves."
It's not a perfect formula but we are human and there is no such thing as human perfection, we are all perfectly, imperfect.

My name is Alexandra and I have been working with website design and development since 1996 and visual design since 2008. 
I’m located in Portugal and I offer services nationally and internationally, fully remote but keen to network with local or international English-spoken talent. 
Feel free to visit https://www.alexandramendesguerra.com, I appreciate all the feedback.
The services I include are complete and custom website design and development, website redesigns or rebuilds, and active website maintenance or management for existing websites.
I love simple design approaches, usability, and good typography. I value the way design and photography improve communication, change perceptions, and trigger emotions.
 
Squarespace has been my favorite website builder platform as it provides beautifully designed themes, has very good capabilities on themes customization, capable support and it provides websites easy to maintain, which is a powerful feature for those clients who wish to keep the website updated for themselves.
So, I’ve been investing in my specialization on Squarespace to take advantage of all its features and learn all about it, to achieve each website specially designed for each of my clients.
 
Recently, I founded BeOn, (https://www.beonstudio.com) a website design studio that follows an agile and user-centered approach that adapts to users' needs and customer expectations, and where I can collaborate in a structured way with partners specialized in Copywriting, SEO, Programming, among others.
 

Looking forward to hearing from you all!
Thank you!

Hi. I am a mixed media artist in NC. I'm in the process of moving my Shopify website which i closed here. And I will be moving my art only website here too. 
I would love to see other artists (or photographer's) websites to get ideas. 
While my site here isn't up yet (it was because I don't get a lot of traffic), I took it down. But you can see my other website at https://tbmcdonellart.com. My site here will be leapforartnc.com. 
I look forward to hearing from anyone

I'm moving my art work here on Squarespace but in the meantime you can visit my Etsy shop. more art you buy less I will have to move 🙂 . Have a lovely day. Onward!

I'm making Spark Plugin for Squarespace.
I got the idea earlier this year when I was searching around for css/plugins for a site I was making. "Why can’t I have simple toggles inside squrespace to achieve the same thing?", I thought. So I started experimenting with it, and made Spark.
Spark offers 100+ stunning presets so that anyone can have a beautiful design in Squarespace. Instead of copying and pasting code, any preset can be added instantly in one click. Also, all presets are updated live which means they will not break like other plugins/code.
I recently released the first version (early access) of Spark, you can try it out here:

My name is Paul, and my business is as a cat behavior consultant. Initially growing up, I didn't care for cats, and have horrible allergies. However, I was at a housewarming party for a friend of mine, and his tiny kitten crawled into my lap and started purring. All of the sudden, these animals didn't seem so bad.
Fast forward one year later, and I finally visited a cat shelter. I briefly played with a kitten in the kitten area, and then left to talk to the staff. The kitten I played with managed to sneak out several times to come and see me. 
Once we got home, I realized I had no idea what I was doing. Fortunately "My Cat from Hell" was having a marathon. I actually sat and took notes. Years later, I went to Animal Behavior College, and got certified as a cat trainer. 
Please feel free to visit catology.org, and let me know what you all think. I appreciate any advice.

Hi...I haven't been able to figure it out. I've opened a ticket with the Level 2 team at opensea, waiting for them to get back to me. If you find a solution, please let me know as well! 🙂

Did you figure this out?  I also have a client interested in doing this and would love to know the best way to go about it.

Can you share link to page where you added iframe? We can take a look

Hi,
I have a client looking to integrate their OpenSea collection on their Squarespace website. The OpenSea docs have a simple iframe embed option that was easy enough to add, but the actual "Buy" or Make Offer buttons don't work. The page simply refreshes each time we click on the button. ANyone know what I am missing? I installed the Metamask browser extension and tried, but it still didn't work. 
Thanks,
Amrita

Hello, laurelbdesign!
I'm working on a project that makes web3 integration an ease (just did a hackathon in Amsterdam building the tool). It's called EtherForms.
Would love to have your input, and see if I can help you!
We have made a small Discord server for early users, where we gather feedback and discuss while building the tool.
Feel free to join, and I'd do whatever I can to help you 🙂

Hi Dave, thanks ever so for your thoughtful reply. 
 
I did think this was the official SS forum and didn’t realise it was a message board for devs and general ideas, so apologies there ! 
 
I hear you, and appreciate squarespace is a web2 behemoth; I’m not expecting anything like wallet integration. 
 
Like many artists I use squarespace as a very quick and easy portfolio index. All I would like is to be able to add a click through functionality to each image on my front end gallery page. 
 
Click on image and link straight through to the listing page of an external NFT website instead of popping up a subsidiary squarespace gallery page. 
 
Do you know if there is any simple code that could help to do that ?
 
Squarespace have been no help, and i fear if they don’t try to keep up, there’ll probably soon be toast.  
 
All best 
Dylan 

There's a few things to unpack here I guess, but I suppose the first thing is that this particular part of the forum isn't really for feature requests. If you want to customise Squarespace then there are individuals who can help you here. they don't work for Squarespace though.
OK, let's talk about NFTs. Nothing too polemical here, plenty of other places to argue about their value, their cost, the technology etc, but should say that I am very pro-blockchain/web3, and work and research within that sphere pretty much every day. So, we'll focus on NFTs and Squarespace (seeing as that's the forum we're in).
In my opinion there are some fundamental concepts that one needs to consider here. Squarespace is essentially a web2 company, and act as a trusted third party. that means that they are taking control of a lot of things for you on the back end, and owning the data, building the product etc. When you upload product information to SQS you're putting it in a database they run, maintain and protect. That means that they run a lot of server side code. that's code that we as end users can't get to and modify. When we customise Squarespace we work only with browser rendered CSS or scripts, executed client side. That does give us good opportunities with web3 though... 
with web3 / nft stuff the data and the source code are on the public blockchain. when you go to OpenSea or Hic Et Nunc you're interacting with their smart contracts on the blockchain, not (for the most part) with server side code or their third party databases. because of that all/most the interactions you see are done with client-side code that calls the contracts. Same with *any* site that is integrating metamask. So, if you want to integrate metamask in squarespace, you can (with premium subscription) as you can add Javascript code blocks.
In addition, the vast majority of NFTs aren't "on chain" and as such exist simply as URLs usually on IPFS or similar content-addressed networks. so you can easily add those things as simple img elements in a code block if you want. 
There's another reason that you probably want to sell things on dedicated NFT marketplaces though, is that the royalty payments are usually run on the marketplace contract, not your NFT contract. so you really need your customers to interact with that contract, not a middleman contract that Squarespace would have to write and run themselves (because the royalty payment might not be in there!)
So there are routes you could go down to integrate metamask, NFT collections, smart contracts etc. That's not to say that Squarespace shouldn't go down that route, I'm sure they will at some time, probably first through adding crypto payment providers. (At the moment, there is no integration of crypto payments with Squarespace but I'm sure that could happen, Stripe stopped Bitcoin payments 3 years ago but recently have said that they would consider crypto payments again). 
FWIW, I think squarespace could do a good job on this sort of thing. Web 3 stuff needs Web 2 quality UIs to on-board new people, but it's not there yet. My guess is that if you're getting a lot of benefit from using squarespace through design and no-code experiences, and the NFT part is relatively small part then integrating a bit of javascript or an iframe embed for now is probably not a bad idea. 
If there's a particular example you want to see connecting metamask within a squarespace page I'd be happy to write and put up an example. It would be an interesting exercise and there are lots of possibilities. For example, you could go down the route that people often use when integrating shopify which is to add the products in squarespace and then replace the buy button in code. 
If you think we need a squarespace plug-in to do this sort of thing and it looks worth it, again, tell me what you're looking for and I'm sure I could write one.
 
EDIT: forgive any kind of basic explanations here or any explanations that gloss over stuff, just trying to write something that might be useful to people finding NFT type stuff and no idea what peoples understanding of it is or technical capability is. My main point in this is that I'm not sure its the right thing to give over web3 stuff to a web2 company, or very productive to slate a web2 company for not doing web3 things, but I'm happy to help customise existing squarespace sites with web3 type interactions using javascript (as is the remit of this forum).

Are there any official plans for supporting NFT integration on squarespace ?
There is a workaround on one of the forums with iframes / opensea but I couldn’t seem to get it to work with IPFS.
As many visual artists increasingly look to sell NFTs either via marketplaces and / or free storefront hub services such as lynkfire, linktree etc I am increasingly wondering why I pay for 2 squarespace sites. 
Please let me know if you’ve any NFT integration plans soon or I will probably just transfer my url to a linktree that points to hen, fnd, objkt et al. 
thanks again 
Dylan
