How It Works

01.

Purchase your template. You’ll receive a one-use license. These templates come with a launch checklist. You can also choose to add on the Website Build & Launch course (coming April 2024).

02.

Immediate delivery. We’ll send you an invitation to add the template to your Squarespace account. You’ll also receive access to the template resources and launch checklist. It’s really simple and you’ll get clear instructions.

03.

Make it your own. You’ll swap out the demo content with your own text and images, pay Squarespace for hosting (you get a discount for working with us!), then launch. You can keep your current site live until you’re ready to launch your new site!

  • SWAY is on the most recent version of Squarespace, 7.1, and uses the Fluid Engine editor.
