5 (and a Bit!) Squarespace Extensions You'll Love
Squarespace comes out of the box with lots of fantastic functionality.
You can build your own eCommerce store, launch a blog, show off your portfolio, and much more!
However, there are some additional Squarespace extensions out there if you want to add even more useful features to your site.
Here are some of our favorites to get you started.
1. Squarespace Email Campaigns
If you want to encourage people to convert on your website, factoring email campaigns into your marketing strategy is a must.
Emails are cost-effective, highly targeted, and as the people who sign up for your mailing list are warm leads, they only need a small nudge to buy from you!
Squarespace Email Campaigns makes it easy to manage your email marketing directly within Squarespace.
Email Campaigns creates stunning email templates based on your site design and lets you easily manage and segment your email addresses. You can even send automated emails, saving time and effort!
Of course, you don't have to use Squarespace Emails for your marketing. If you prefer to use Mailchimp, you can integrate it into your website instead.
Prices start from $5 a month.
2. Squarespace Memberships
Want to build a community around your brand? Squarespace makes it easy with its Memberships feature.
Squarespace Memberships gives you the tools you need to sell exclusive content to customers, whether that's videos and newsletters, online courses, or virtual events. You can set one-off prices, provide paid subscription packages, and even offer free content as a taster!
Squarespace Memberships is free with a Squarespace subscription, but you can get additional functionality from $9 a month.
3. Squarespace Courses
Courses are a brilliant way to make passive income on your website. Create an online course, encourage people to sign up, and you can make money while you sleep!
Squarespace Courses makes it easy to create professional and engaging courses. Users can track their progress, download workbooks, and buy accompanying products from your eCommerce store.
We mentioned earlier that you can set up online courses with Squarespace Memberships. So, which extension should you use to get the best results?
Both add-ons are part of Squarespace's Digital Products Suite, so they both provide the same functionality. However, you might just want to offer courses rather than provide a community space for your website users.
That's the beauty of Squarespace – it adapts to fit your needs!
