What to Look for in a Squarespace Photography Template
1. Brand Goals
When choosing a template, consider if the design fits your overarching brand and business. Does the template reflect how you want your brand to look and feel and the price point you want to be working at? Would your ideal client would feel inspired and confident booking you from this site?
Important note: Fonts and styles can be changed on any Squarespace template, as can most layouts (although coded features may have limitations, so remember to check the template’s documentation), so don’t worry if they don’t perfectly match your brand.
2. Strategic Design
Your website should support conversions by guiding your visitors towards booking. It should help them understand who you are, what you offer, and how they can take the next steps with you. Ask yourself if the template includes space for your brand story and portfolio, if there are pages or services, FAQs, and sales, and if the site guides visitors towards making a book or reaching out.
Important note: Things like FAQs and testimonial sliders can be added to any Squarespace site with built-in tools, but a template that already includes these elements styled to match the rest of the template will save you time while designing.
3. Room to Grow
The template should have space where you can share your services and process, and give you room to grow with features like a Blog, Shop, or Sales Page later. For example, you might not offer digital products right now, but it might be something you want to add a year or two down the line if you expand into selling presets or wedding albums for additional or passive income alongside your services. Look for templates that include a dedicated sales page, services pages, FAQs, a shop, and a blog.
Important note: Squarespace Stores, Blogs, Courses, Scheduling, and Memberships can be added to any Squarespace site (plan upgrades or paid add ons may be required). All Squarespace Stores can handle physical and digital products. So the inclusion of these isn’t a sole deciding factor when choosing a template, but it makes the process easier to have these pages styled and set up for you.
4. Imagery
Of course, a photography template should have plenty of room for imagery. Consider if the template presents imagery the way you’d like, if it gives the imagery room to breathe, and if it includes a portfolio page.
Lastly, when choosing a template, always remember to reach out to the template creator if you have questions! Squarespace is very flexible, and if a feature isn’t clear in a template, it doesn’t mean it can’t be added or altered. The template creator will be able to advise you on what’s possible with it.

Squarespace is built for visual content, with a range of options for galleries, sliders, and portfolio pages. It’s also responsive and mobile friendly.
