Will this overwrite my current website?

No. The new template pages are installed in the Not Linked section of your site. Your live pages remain unchanged until you decide to swap them in.

Can I keep my existing fonts and colours?

Yes. You can choose to use the styling of your new template, keep your current fonts and colours, or blend the two for a more gradual refresh.

What happens to my current content?

Your existing content remains untouched. Pages, blog posts, products, images, and SEO settings stay exactly as they are while the new template framework is added alongside them.

Will my SEO be affected?

No. Your existing URLs, page structure, and SEO settings are not changed by the installation. The template is added in a way that preserves your current SEO foundations.

Will my Squarespace subscription be affected?

No. Your plan, billing, and subscription settings remain exactly the same. This service only adds new template pages to your existing site.

Do I need to do anything before the install?

You’ll need to grant Contributor access and share your preferences for styling. If anything else is required, we’ll outline it clearly before beginning.

How long does it take?

Most Template Install Packages are completed within 3–5 business days from receiving access and preferences.

What if I have questions after the install?

You’ll have a short period of post-install support for small questions relating to the installation and how to begin using your new template pages.

An elevated site without starting afresh

Rebuilding a website can feel overwhelming, especially when your content, SEO, and systems are already in place.

The Template Install Package gives you the best of both worlds: your existing structure stays exactly as it is, while your chosen Studio Founded template is added to your site. No migrations, downtime, or loss of progress. This package offers a considered upgrade to a more intentional, design-led experience.

I. Thoughtful Integration

Your new template pages are installed into the “Not Linked” section of your site, giving you room to update, edit, and adjust everything at your own pace. .

This means:

your current website stays visible and uninterrupted
no existing pages are overwritten
no downtime or loss of functionality
you have full control over when and how the new design goes live

II. Your Content, Intact

Installing a template on Squarespace does not disrupt the content or structure you’ve already built.

All of the following stay exactly as they are:

SEO settings (titles, descriptions, slugs, indexing)
page structure and navigation
blog posts, categories, and tags
store products, orders, customer data
images, galleries, and file uploads

You simply gain a new design framework to build on, without losing the work that’s already serving you.

III. Styled Your Way

Your new template comes with its own aesthetic direction: fonts, colours, spacing, and global styling designed to create a cohesive, elevated experience.

During installation, we can:

apply the full styling of your chosen template
carry over selected visual elements from your existing design
retain your current fonts and colors if you prefer consistency

You choose the direction — whether it leans fully into the template’s aesthetic or maintains the visual language you already use.

FAQs

No, not at all. We install the new template pages in your “Not Linked” section. This way, your existing pages stay live and untouched while you decide which parts of the new design to update.
Absolutely. You can stick with your current branding, or we can transfer the template’s fonts and colors to refresh your look. It’s entirely up to you!
All your existing content stays on your site, and you’ll maintain access to it in the Asset Library. Nothing gets deleted or lost.
It depends. Your SEO won’t be affected if you update the new template pages with the same URLs and similar content as your current pages. For example:
- If your current About page uses the URL slug /about, move the content to the template’s About page and update the slug to match: /about. Don’t forget to transfer any existing meta data.
- Similarly, if you have a blog post at www.yoursite.com/blog/my-post, you’ll want to copy the content into the new blog template but keep the same URL and meta descriptions.
This ensures your existing SEO rankings remain intact because search engines will see the same URLs and content, even with the updated design.
