Changing to a different template

Recommended Posts

I would like to know if its possible to change the template.

Squarespace 7.1 only has one template, so it isn't possible to "change".

Squarespace show off the design possibilities by showing you lots of named ideas that they confusingly refer to as "templates", but they are really just different "starting points" using the same template

This is great because it means that every site will have the same features. If you've already started your site in Squarespace 7.1, you'll be able to manually copy any of these starting point designs without switching templates or starting again.

However, if you'd prefer to start again with a different starting point, you'll need to start a new trial.

Hello,

I am working for a client and I am starting from scratch: new template and content, so I chose anew template and it shows as a 14 day trial. The subscription for the old site was renewed 2 weeks ago, Can I extend the trial period if needed and transfer the same domain without paying for a new subscruption?

Thank you

You can extend the trial on the new site and you will be able to transfer the domain when you are ready to do so, but you won't be able to transfer the paid website subscription from the old site. This is because each site is billed independently. 

If the old and new sites are on Squarespace 7.0 then switching templates may be a better option. However, if you are using Squarespace 7.1 for either site, this is not an option.

Yeah apparently the new site is on version 7.1, so it is correct to to continue working until the trial ends and then extend it? And I should re-pay all the subscription? Can the responsible for paying get a refund since it's been a week since they re-newed the subscription for a whole new year?

You can extend when the trial expires. 

Squarespace will issue a full refund if you cancel within the subscription’s first 14 days. You can read the refund policy here.

Hi, if i chose one template and paid for a year and realized im not able to do a header with a background video on the template I chose...can I transfer over my payment to a new template that will work better for me?  I have not published or linked website to a domain yet.

No. You will need to cancel your original subscription and start a new trial. That said, what template are you using? Almost all templates support background banner videos.
